Thanks Wayne, like all these restorations a test of patience and passion; will be watching your progress as i am sure you be with mine. Glad to read that your vehicle is pretty well complete, the FV1600 series battle with that dreaded rust and of course once into the vehicle it shows no mercy. I have two cabs and both are beyond help, however, got onto another good cab and will be picking that up in a couple of weeks. Worrying seeing that only 130 ever came into Aus and i have worked my way through 3 of those.
We also own and restore Austin Champs and are off to the Victorian high country (Mansfield) with them along with 26 other Champs and near on 70 Champers for 7 days of 4WDriving, camping, meeting up with the gang again and having a great time of course a few cold beers will be had and a lot of laughs. Leave this Saturday so the preperation and servicing of the Champ have put a stop on the Humber restoration for a bit, blasted brakes and siezed wheel cylinders.
Dave.
