Thank you
Very kind words Keith...thank you.
Still working on little fiddly jobs. Thought Id better get out the headlights and check them out and clean them up, Managed to fit the original bits to the new loom wiring. I am getting some modern Halogen globes that are 6 volt and fit these pre focus type lights. I'm going to have a crack at cleaning up the reflectors. Ill see how they go with a bit of Silvo. The other bit that's been bothering me is the gap in the front spring hangers and the leaf springs themselves. I found the right size washers for each side of the leaves and went over the eye bolts, they went in like they were meant to be there.

This took a lot of goes on one light. The other came up nicely quickly.

Long overdue update.
I do sincerely apologise for not updating this thread.
I have not been idle. In fact this restoration has occupied nearly every waking moment I've had the last 10 or so weeks. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Revised roof, after a lot of research and digging around what appeared to be original remains of Rubber and Timber used to join metal framework to the roof Additionally samples of what was left of round head bolts and nuts. And samples of the rubber that lined the frame on which the hatch rests.

Made it to Year of the Blitz 2024.
Apart from a few little hiccups with the Lights it all went smoothly.

Early V8 Nationals Echuca
This event is usually reserved for the Cars but I was made very welcome.
Some of the most magnificent early Flat head V8 vehicles of display and the sound? Absolutely divine! I explained the loudest note you can hear from a Blitz is the gearbox. Echuca is a wonderful place to visit & a perfect venue for this event. 8 hour trip over and 8 hours back. The Little truck did herself proud. Got the fire extinguisher bracket, rifle butt & medical kit in place.
