I'd chopped the door into lots of bits to stretch it out to fill the frame better. It was all over the place, and nothing like the shape of the frame originally, but didn't look much better as loads of tack welded bits. I clamped the door onto trestles and it was now my test for my new TIG welder...

I needed to get at the other side of the cab and do some work, and I was really fed up of whacking my legs on the frame trying to get to my workbench or move around the garage. I decided that the answer would be to pull the cab off completely, take all the suspension off the frame and shove it on...

I've been slowly plodding on with the mountain of metalwork on the truck, and wanted to get the front end back on out of the way.

With the motor being a truck motor it has a very deep pan which...

I've been keeping an eye out for the various bits I need for the F100 and with the engine plans one of those is a decent strong axle. I found a 12 bolt axle with hardened shafts and C clip eliminators that was a few inches narrower than the one under there which suited me perfectly. I'd bought a...

The truck sat in a warehouse getting dusty for a long time, then the warehouses were getting knocked down for a new housing estate so it got moved to another warehouse where a lot of vintage Jaguars were stored. One Sunday night, a gang of teenagers broke in and smashed up all the cars, driving t...
