bexwh773 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks again for all the kind comments Lastnights efforts then, nothing too drastic but Ive scratch built the mirrors from wire and plasticard. Hopefully should be completed apart from decals later today. Thanks for looking Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks both At the moment Im trying to work out how to extend the exhaust pipe as its totally wrong and toooooooooooo short, its supposed to come out left side between fuel tank & rear wheel. Thanks again Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Lovely work Bex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexwh773 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks Dave Today has gone well, spare wheel on and exhaust sorted. However, I have dropped a clanger big time, I modified the kit exhaust to extend back out between the fuel tank & rear wheel arch like my memory & photos showed, however Bexy had a brainfart and Ive now converted my MK to an MJ instead. So heres the photo of the extended exhaust & spare wheel. Thanks for looking and in this case P*ss taking is now authorised Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06/24 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 yeah my old man was really disappointed at having to drive it up the fell to take pictures (NOT!) Shame I'm stuck here in Scotland or I could have had a shot myself! It still works for a living- it's Will's recovery truck for his fleet of vintage buses.

bexwh773 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 A small update then, all finished apart from the decal number plate & yellow fuel cap. One thing, Bedfords were fitted with a white disc to reflect the convoy light, but as its too small for me to make, I copied the method applied to Landrovers, I painted the rear transfer / transmission in the rear axle white instead.
