Some more progress on the Humber. I managed to pick up a NOS front bumper 5 minutes from home sitting in a pile of scrap metal ready for the scrapper. Found it by taking a straightened and repaired front bumper to the local sandblaster and he recognised it with one he had sitting in the scrap pile. Best $80 spent to date. Had it sandblasted and trial fitted it to the chassis, not a problem. He did not have a clue as to how he got hold of it, it was just in a pile of old parts he got some time ago. A new front bash shield has been manufactured, you can see by the photos the old one was repairable but very rusted and just as quick to manufacture another. The photos show the bumber and bash plate trial fitted, they are now removed and painted ready for their final fitting. I have the 5 rims painted and sitting on the chassis just waiting for the tyres to arrive, have orderd 5 non-directional 900 x 20 Lugbar tyres. Just need to wait for them to arrive in town then i will have it sitting on the new rubber ready to accept the motor and transmission.
