    tool box section behind passenger seat is done, re-strengthened the passenger side where the skirt will be re-fitted, making 1 skirt out of the drivers original one and the one off the Door-mobile wreck, just found a good exhaust system straight enough to work out well and to pop out the rear rather than my earlier decision to have it out the drivers side, found the right front headlights and chrome surrounds so fits properly, wheels will be painted cream/creme tyres are all 175 65 14's
    hoping to be all sorted by December, new year at the latest!

    Good stuff, you'll be chugging around in no time, would make a great advertising vehicle for your business with some magnetic signs on.

    Indeed! If only I had a business! i did laugh to myself the other night, having thoughts of driving past (slowly) all the bakers shops in the area and getting their attention, just to show them there's a new old git in town! (i am an ex baker as well!)
    Now got a few problems with the gear selection, it has a remote linkage, a very long one at that, but after a clean up tighten and a fresh drop of oil, i am hoping it will work again, failing that, drop it and repair it.
    Will update pics as soon as photobucket starts working again!

    Maybe its a good excuse to start something or said bakers might want to donate some regular free food in exchange for some Atlas advertising

    Roof rack on it's way, found a 'fitting' spare wheel, needs a tyre and a brush up around the rim (no comments please!)
    Decided to cut 2 inches down from the drivers skirt and put the skirt from the wrecker in place as it is surprisingly good!, going to wire the lights today, finish re-sealing the ultra rare front screen rubber and maybe wash it if i have time....... (which I won't! what a shame )

    Replacing the Drivers side, should be fitted by the end of the week, or at least tacked in place. new foot switch for the front lamps fitted, just got to sort the rears out and the indicators.

    Haha! Great! I have no intentions of painting it, I assure you. A new lower door piece will have to be made, But work will be concentrated on the front chassis and the pedal box, this is going to be a bit tricky, but a chap I know who is better with a welder than me will be doing this!
    More to follow next week. Cheers

    Wheels are 14 inch MG, only just got them under & on! going to get stuck in next week without fail, making room in one of the sheds so it can be lifted higher up so the front chassis and pedal box can be sorted.
    not long now, Thanks!

    Wow! i like this! What a waste! Mine has now been sold, had to concentrate on the mk2 Escort, so i had to make a decision, the van is going to a very good home, and that leaves me a bit of £ to finish off the Escort so i am hoping for it to be finished by December latest.

    In the end i was offered a fair price, so it was sold. A year later it was at the Birmingham NEC car show so at least it went to a good home.
