Finally got round to posting some pics. On the whole i think its in fairly good condition, slowly going through it getting to the rust under the paint, basically getting it weather tight before winter sets in and prevents me doing owt with it. Just purchased a large tarp to cover the cab up, hopefully prevent more rot. Mind you some of the projects that are been undertaken on this site make this seem positively brand new, its enough work for me though.

thats strange only these ones post, the rest keep crashing

Haha don't you know Neil if something is clean and shiny that means its mechanically sound 

Lets see some more then...

I need to have a go at getting my speedo working, and the cab welded, and the brakes working, and the fitting of the rear linkage finished off... It seems never ending at first doesn't it!

No dont worry about it robert i know it wasnt. Im just really fussy about keepinn my vehicles in good nic cosmeticaly even the lawn mower gets a polish every now and again!     They just said it was a bit crunchy diddnt need repairing, i understand what you mean with the paint though, no good just covering the rust up but it does mean i can sort a bit at a time and it still looks good. They did explain that it had been freshend up prior to sale and that to sort everything to a standard that you would expect if you had taken it in to be sorted would have cost a fair bit, another reason why i wanted one that was in good shape to start with, funding it in the first place was a real struggle without any further dear jobs to do

Looks a nice truck, and getting a bit of work under its belt with the plants in the back.
You`ve problely seen it but the is a short video of your mog on AVos, utube channel.

That's a very helpful tip, thanks. I've started fitting it with a large piece of steel angle but don't really like how it's looking. I need to get someone who's good with a welder to make me a bumper and include my din plate in the design. Ideally I would like to be able to unclip the winch and remount it on another plate of the same design on the rear, or on the linkage.

I did try to fathom a mid mount design but it's a bit beyond me to be honest. I don't know where to start and even if I did make it, running the cable would be a nightmare!

I didn't know such a thing existed. I wonder how easy one of those would be to find?! Something tells me not that easy at all!
