Any progress lately Jack? I thought of you yesterday when I found this one in Daylesford in a similar state to yours. Interesting to see original camo and the remains of a unit sign visible.

Looks salvageable Tony. Did you buy it? Progress has stalled of late but picked up again yesterday. Finally got some parts I was waiting ages on and put the firewall padding and trim in. Floor will go in this weekend. It won't make Corowa this year. I actually spent time fixing a couple of BSA airborne bicycles up to have at Corowa. (I've fallen for the local adage re Corowa- 'anyone can have a jeep or a truck but only the cool guys have bikes'). Just had to get one for Jake and I.
On the ute front, the 41 ford I was trying to sell for a mate on eBay has now returned to me for restoration. As a result I need some more side panels made for that one as well so I've sent a sample of the triple rib pressing to Colin Jones for him to study and see how successful a die can be assembled to make fresh panels. The rear bodies are quite a complex process to reassemble correctly.

Cool guys
I tried hard to prise it from him Jan but he wouldn't let it go. Perhaps we'll see you pedalling around the town instead.

39 update
Finally back on the ute after a few distractions. I had enough of the remains of a floor from the hard cab to repo the plywood floor. I was able to salvage the cover clips and re rivet them in. Some new black screws and washers and brake hole cover from Macs. The gearbox cover just needed derusting and the toe board sandblasting. A bit of felt and rubber and the floor is done
