I'll post more photos as the project progresses.

I can't see much in the photos (too dark), but it looks as though you'll need to stock up on elbow grease.
I'm looking forward to the rollout day.

shaggy Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: U1200 restoration project They're just hitting that age aren't they? A very similar, sad looking, U1600 went through on UK ebay a while ago, don't know what it fetched, or even if it finished. I've done a frame up strip/resto on a 404, but an SBU is different kettle of fish. good luck! jim | ||
