Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Wheels Day has to be the best £5.00 you get to spend all year and its for charity.

Good to see you guys.

Nicola got a load of sunburn on her face and looks like "Batman"

I managed to spend £55.00 on "Stuff"

Nicola made me buy and wear a Sheriff's badge that says "LICENSED JUBK COLLECTOR"

I guess you did not find another door for your truck.

I will upload a few of Nicola's photos later and post up here if you want???

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Today I took the truck for its last run out before I start to tear it down for the rebuild
The weather at today's show was a lot wetter than Fridays show, but still had a good day even if we got wet
Took this picture as I went all the way to Spain in one of these about 35 years ago


Here is a selection of the others I took

Those Wollesleys were ultra luxurious in their day.

Here is the start of my photo thread, posted in the Events section as the mods want them there.

Still have a load to upload and post.

Back at the show tomorrow.

Well the strip down has started
Last night I ordered my front and rear two inch lowered springs and shocks from Brothers . It worked out better to do a double order with Rian so we could split the shipping . So tonight when I got home from work I started stripping the front off .

Nice move Ace !!!!!

I give you Exhibit A






How do you plead??


Thanks for ordering our shocks n springs.

I guess for the American readers we need to put things in perspective.

Just on combining shipping, we save about $110.00 to the UK.

I do not remember the total price you paid, but once we have landed the parts, it comes to about $730.00 once import duty and tax is added for the parts, so about $182.00 or in English money £107.00 per corner.

Doesn't look like the M5 will be moving much anytime soon... Trucklock, not gridlock...

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Once I strip the truck down to the chassis I will be sending it off to get sand blasted . I will then be able to move the mx5 if I need to ok RIAN The trouble is I have the Mondeo estate and my Mercedes convertable to use and two bikes so the mx5 has just been put on the back burner . I do need to move it on though so yes I should have got that finished before starting the truck

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Well what a busy weekend
Saturday I went over to Essex to collect my replacement bumper from the importers . When I ordered my front fenders and front bumper the bumper got damaged in transit . So the importers STS in Essex ordered me a replacement . One of the lads had dropped it when they unloaded the container , but they put there hands up and admitted they had done it and replaced it . So I got a new one and Rian got to purchase the damaged one . It's nice to deal with Ron the owner of STS as they didn't argue or blame the couriers that brothers used to send it to them , they just ordered me a replacement at there cost .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"

Sunday Rian popped over as I needed a push with the truck and a hand to put my new front screen somewhere safe . But as usual when he pops over a small job becomes a lot bigger job . I was going to put the glass in my garage on the shelf but there wasn't enough room for it . So Rian suggested making a shelf in the car port . So off to the local diy store to purchase the timber needed .

We then made a shelf to put the screen onto for safe keeping



Then we made a second set of supports to put the screen up higher leaving the large shelf for storage



Once this was all finished we then could get on with the truck

Once the truck was put away and Rian had gone home . I decided to finish of the car port to keep the rain out at the shelf end . I had some of the roof material left so I used it to block in above the fence panels
