sunday i went up to Hamley Bridge to pick up the panel van.
its in not bad shape with only the usual rust repairs needed. i also scored original semaphores, ribbed bumpers and two original 60's gauges.
great score, but she still took us about 2 hours to get it on the trailor, and i droped it on my foot (OUCH). so heres a couple of pics.

well done man, early panel split's are the coolest (just a bit bias)
Good pick up on the bumpers and motor as well, that will save you some time and lots of money trying to find a rear bumper.
