When I looked on the Brickwerks site, the did not appear to be a whole lot to chose from for the LT. Or am I missing a trick here. Always happy to order parts locally 👍

I'll maybe re-phrase that.... they did not have what I was looking for, which was the exhaust tailpipe for my camper.

My LT35e as it was after several washes when bought last year. She has since been stripped of all the go faster strips and accessorises etc.

Repair completed. Chassis cleaned underneath, removed the seam sealant that had been applied at birth, some 24yrs ago (which had trapped the moisture aiding the Tinworm), and treated the area with Ankor Wax and then a liberal soaking of Dinitrol, so hopefully good for another 24yrs LOL

Looking good and a reminder of the floor I was faced with when I lifted the flooring "just to check...."

Good luck with the MOT . I'm working my way through a 12 point list after failure yesterday - the tester decided it wasn't a chassis van as the body couldn't be easily lifted off. Same place last year said it was a chassis van - it's a strange world.

loving this thread

bought some panels for the cab area of my LT - but- due to having to sort out blown head gasket not had time to get them fitted.

also, I dont have a welder or the skills myself so will have to find a good body-shop that wil work on my 1979 vehicle, why are so many commercial places so afraid of anything old or big!
