Thought I would share a few pics on my 58 single cab. I hope you enjoy them :) I needed someone close who new what final result I was after so I called IRVs who is based in South Cumbria.

I bought the lumber wagon from my friend who lives in Vancouver.
After selling a 71 micro bus I was on the look out for a bit of a project.
I said a bit :)

Pic of it landing in Cumbria. Off to IRVs for a couple of sills, outriggers and jacking points or so I thought :)

Back from the blasters and it was apparent that a few sill and jacking points were not going to restore it to the standard I needed.

IRVs set to work removing the floor which is not the easiest of jobs on a single cab with the load bed in the way and especially for a 6 ft 2 restorer / welder

The old rear arches had been cut out to allow for oversized tyres so instead of piecing together I opted for two new side panels.
