Another long delay in updates due to work/house and living history related stuff, anyway she’s now home:

So hopefully I will get a lot more time to spend on Maggie if I don’t get distracted by older stuff again. Here’s some of the distractions: Morris Commercial C8 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 1960s polish field kitchen we are converting to a German one: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

Nice projects
So are all the brake and axle parts still available for something like the Morris? I often wonder with WW2 trucks is the parts availability still good? 2010 XS USW 1957 Series One 88 diesel 1958 Series One 88 4x2 |

Cheers
Some parts are available, or modern parts can be engineered to fit. The truck is my mates and he’s been collecting parts for 30 years so has some stuff stashed about his place, the main thing we did was full overhaul of the master and slave cylinders, along with a quick sanding of the shoes (definitely asbestos) the bleed and adjust, seals are still easy to get due to the new trend of restoring old stuff as they are fairly common sized cylinders. If anyone is interested in the military history stuff/Guernsey military history you can follow us on Instagram or Facebook: Guernsey military history co. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Well as time flys past at a rate it’s hard to keep up with I have managed a few little jobs on Maggie, hopefully I have remembered to take pics along the way to keep you guys informed.
So let’s start with this: Rear tub is off for all the needed repairs and then eventually paint (proving hard to source in guernsey as most places won’t ship to here  ) I’ve made a start on the rear panels and found the take off capping a I bought to replace the rotten originals:
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I’ve also managed to get the wheels blasted and some primer added: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Apologies for the quick update hopefully I can get a proper one done in the next few days slowly finding time to carry on with Maggie as the house stuff is being ticked off the list. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
