Thanks Euan, Miker and Bob, whem this tray is ready the spray rig will have to find a new home as I have decided to retire the blitz to club events considering its age. The tyres on the trailer are almost runflats they are light truck steer tyres.

Actually Mike, there is only a little rust in the body and it is pretty straight. Only the top corners of the tailgate are in need of replacement. There are a few bullet holes in the front panel, but as Bob says, that adds character.

Robert needs some hoodbows and the mounts which bolt to the side of the body if anyone has any.

The toolbox just needs a sand down and a coat of paint.

The spare wheel carrier is in need of a small weld job, but, it has an unusual antitheft devise on it. I'll post some photos later.
Regards Rick.

I'll let Rick deal with Bob
The tray is unloaded and in tempory storage off the ground thanks to Keith. Farmers carn't resist the urge to stack things on anything sitting still
Work won't start on the tray for some time yet as I should finish painting my rims before starting a new project, but it's nice to know it's there when I need it.

NO!!! Bob, That just shows that I don't have a full allegiance to the green cause. That one is a 1923 20hp Rolls-Royce saloon. I had to buy that as my then wife got sick of things green and so that was part of the compromise. There are another 4 or 5 veteran or vintage cars in the shed. All but one on the road. Come down and I'll take you for a ride.
Regards Rick

The "red bible" says : The GMH Woodville ( South Aust.) plant made 1743 15cwt base bodies in 1942 and 579 in 1943.
