Ah right, that explains the little clips on the doors...well you've convinced me. Canvas doors it is! One of my mentors suggested that anyway, but i just wanted to hear a range of opinions. It ought to preserve the character of this particular truck as well.

Any idea where i'd get a template for those canvas doors?

The measurements are easily obtained, if your over this way there here to look at, talk to John Machie, Ian Styles, in fact most of us have them and the top to use as patterns.

Default Radiator

I'm rather worried about the damage to the radiator that was in the Blitz. As you may be able to see in the photos, they top left of it has been smashed in. Either it's been taken out and dropped on it's end, or a rather bad mechanic has lost their temper with it, or the truck has been vandalised (If that were the case, however, it's rather odd that they only vandalised the radiator).

If the top of the radiator's not fixable, i'll need another of those as well lol!
