Three J pictures, you have seen these before but they are now slightly better images.

The "Polly B Pick-up".
Another view of the house brick, my welding is rubbish, that's why OBL is away being welded correctly.
I'm having J type withdrawal symptoms.

Back to the brick, should I leave it there? No a better idea use a nice "G" clamp on the tail gate hinge plate and let the brick just take the weight of the load deck.

Yes that looks better, paint the brick with underseal, nobody will know.

So I tacked in place a repair panel, welding outside is a right pain, the slightest breeze and the Argon gas has gone. The holes are for the rear lights, and these are the main reason it rots here, a great mud trap, mud/water from the wheels sprays all over the lamps and just sits there all nice and damp for weeks on end.

Other jobs carried out were new brake shoes, the brake pipes were connected up and with new fluid in the new master cylinder, we had brakes that worked.

Still need to find a driver seat, roof lining, door cards, radiator hoses, windscreen and rubber, rear lights. etc etc.

Still have to repair the deck floor and then finish the nearside light cluster and bolt the load bed to the chassis.
