An update on what we've been doing with the tipper...

CAB

The binnacles have been cleaned up.

The inside of the cab is being painted white (typical of classic commercial vehicles)

ENGINE

New carb ready for fitting

New ignition leads and distributor cap

BRAKES

Stopping is more important than starting, and to that end we have fitted new/refurbished master and slave cylinders. The drum covers have been cleaned up and painted.

BODYWORK

Getting the dents out the old fashioned way... with a hammer!

Inside of the nose cone into zinc primer, then gloss black for waterproofing.
