Al Tooes, a friend of mine in the UK is restoring a HUW back to its former glory. Al bought it in need of restoration but it came with the complete radio set up including a ground station. It has just about every item required to complete the restoration including the jack and the block of wood to stand the jack on.
The HUW is was taken apart, sandblasted, repaired and painted. The running gear was sorted out and a new rear floor fitted, "new" tyres, all the wheel cylinders and the master cylinder were sleeved in stainless steel. The engine has also been re-built. Interior shots:

Alan have done a great job! Looking forward to see the HUW ready to rally!
Did he built the rear door from scratch? |

Hanno, Ι don't want to be annoying anyone, but I'd like to know if Al Tooes made a new rear door, from the drawings, from sheer metal.
It seemed to me like that... |

Help - Seat Cushion Design?
When Allen purchased the vehicle a full set of new manufacture seat cushions came with it. We have been having some communication on this issue as I have never seen this pattern before although he has now found the original submitted as the pattern for their manufacture? It is the standard 'D' shape, common on both Canadian and British seats. It has an opening at the rear with eyelets both sides, obviously for lacing up once the insert is in place. It also has the 5 eyelets on both faces and two sets of hold down straps so it could obviously be reversed, anyone throw any light on this particular pattern?

Ιt's very obvious that the Dutch HUW has the original seat covers.
Or, I might be wrong.. http://img199.imageshack.us/i/seatcu...signorigin.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4...signorigin.jpg http://img684.imageshack.us/i/seatcu...signorigin.jpg http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4...signorigin.jpg

Seat Cushions - More confused than ever
What do you mean regarding the Dutch HUW being correct? The pictures earlier in this thread do not show any seat cushions?

To my eyes the radio operators seat covers of the Dutch HUW and the above seat cover you've posted, look the same..
Ian, I do not support this with confidence and I may be wrong....my HUW do not have any seats at all...so far.
