Default Morris C8

Just had the canvas fitted and await the rope but thought I would show how the C8 is progressing, not much to do now.

Looking nice

I have a magazine somewhere , with the story of a C8 GS by David ? He bought a C8 GS in the UK and had it shipped to his home in the USA . He was a regular user on this forum some years ago. The C8 was badly damaged in a accident as he was driving it home from the shipping depot . .. somebody ran into the C8

Terrific job Paul, what are your impressions of the truck in general?
I think Mike was referring to "alleramilitaria" Dave Demorrow, he has not been on MLU for years though.

Thanks guy's and there is still some work to do, not quite right with the engine as the carby is blocked somewhere and needs a good clean out. I will then be able to fine tune, goes well and starts first time but definitely needs that last fine touch. Good looking truck and would really like some history from the MLU old hands?
Got the rope today so maybe by the weekend it will be attached,
