Just had a quick read of the thread from the beginning, (does not feel like 3 years), hard to believe the result.
For the record, I make that 2 trucks, 3 cabs minimum requirement for a resto....
Can't wait to see the next project, does the boss like Centurions??

Default From Wreck to Registration.

It has taken a day of wading through the red tape to finally get our Humber registered; after 3 years it is a great feeling

Pic #1 - Our Humber upon arrival at Seymour. Towed by the "Mongrel" the challenge begins.

Pic #2 - Finally had all the Roadworthy and registration paper work.

Pic #3 - The registered vehicle in all its glory.

Thank you to all in the MLU community for looking at our rebuild over the last three years and to those who found the time to respond.

All that needs to be done is to drive it and enjoy the experience.

Dave.

Congratulations Dave.

Gives me plenty of incentive to get into mine.

Please keep an ear out for a set of hood bows for me.

Dave,

Fabulous work done in a short time, certainly when looking at the amount of work that had to be done.

Thanks for sharing the restoration with us.

Hanno
