Nice to see another carrier in UK John. I'll also look forward to seeing more pictures in day light.
Also are there any links to your Tilly? Mine's an Austin!

Hi John, that is a good project ! A friend just up the road from me bought the other carrier from Hughes.

Looks like they were both stripped and cut to the same degree. It should not take long to do .

If I be of help just from me a line

Default some more pictures.

Hello,

A few more pictures of my carrier. Had a lovely sunny day today, so started cleaning out and having a look at what i ha bought.















Why is there a block of wood bolted to the hull by the side of the engine?

I seem to be missing some links of the steering mechanism?

Filled a couple of buckets of soil from it today, found a number stamped in the metal behind the passenger seat. Hull number i think? Where will the other be? and is there any chance i can find the wd number from them?

The drivers side of the hull has been drill in two places with four holes each, can anybody recoginse these?

Please P.M. me if you have any of the parts i'm missing, i have got the front idlers but the rest is yet to be found begged borrowed and remade.

john

Hello Ron,

I've got a hillman waiting it's turn. I've been collecting parts for a couple of years now, could do with some rear body parts.



Will put some more picture up later,

john
