    Newer door on old 110- interchangeable locks???

    Hi guys, Further to Pappasmurfs reply, I had a conflicting response from the flea bay seller. He said it might be different....I’m getting confused! I’m sending a picture of the item, and our email correspondence. See if you can make sense of it! Here is what I believe is the window that...

    Newer door on old 110- interchangeable locks???

    Looking again at the lift door, it’s more rotten around the window, so I might just restore that. Can anybody confirm that the replacement window section is the same one that is found on flea bay as a series 2/3 ‘door top frame’ cheers

    Bare metal lacquered? Anybody done a defender?

    Something extremely bespoke; came from a 1960’s transit ;). Ash wood body. Had it on their 10 years. As good as the day it was built. Never had an mot tester question the length of it.m, although sharp eyed individuals question the overhang ;)

    Hhmmm jury's out on that one- I got a v8 at work and it’s push button. Something a bit more secure about them I feel. That might be only because the Rotten one is so loose that it was rattling like a baby in a cot down the m25 when I picked it up ;) point taken about keeping it all as one...

    Rate my chassis condition

    Hello chums, Having not seen many 110 chassis in my time, I’d like to know your thoughts on the (surface?) rust on mine. the previous owner had apparently jetted wax oil inside the chassis, so no major rot going right that I can see- just seems like the nick of time to deal with creeping rust...

    Pretty amazing story and thank god you are ok. You got through that for a reason, and the rest of your life will be a gentle breeze- just look out for yourself, and seek help if you start to feel any symptoms of PTSD... Best wishes and hope the old mud plugger is back up and running

    Believe it or not the trailer got full too ;). I would like it out on the record, your honour, that I’m an upstanding entrepreneur, and I swear, your honour I don’t normally drive round like that ;). (I didn’t use the chipper that day because the local sports club do a bonfire night and...

    Security- check Wheels- check Tyres- check It’s a good old beast but to me, maybe different to other, but to me, the paint let’s her down. There’s ALOT I’ve got to do to her... that’s for sure, but getting it looking the right way is important... My V8 is the rough old pig. Here’s a picture...

    Just looking at the Dunsfold bare metal one, and that looks like it’s had a further layer added to it.... can anybody clarify that?

    I hear you, but there’s just something that you get from a bare metal look, and I’m looking at some really cool metal custom bits. Ps. Chelsea tractor this ain’t- I’m an arborist and this will do some graft.
