Yesterday evening I had a go at replacing the old cabine backpanel of my HUP

I had a new panel ready made fitting was spot on to the milimeter.

I was wondering how the fuel sender of my HUP would look like and how it functions, so I dismantled one to have a peek at the inside.
It all in all quite simple

I needed to move my chassis to my own workshop, a bit too soon I'm still working on my workshop to finish (newly build)
2 projects in one but glad that the lady is home

After a long pauze we did some work again on the roof

Pieter,

Its looking good, I remember when I was at that stage, and very frustrated. Who's making your seat covers? I have just got the canvas to make mine and the rest of the canvas bits.

All

Does someone have a clear picture on how the rear convoy light (that lights-up the rear axle) is mounted on the C8A?

Help appreciated!

It's been a while , since my last post ( could be a line from an AAA meeting)

And did some reorganizing, finally decided to move my HUM body from one place far from home to a new place 10min from home so that I have more time to work on it under supervision of a expert chassis builder.

Earlier I told you about bending the omega profiles for the roof supports.
In the meantime they have been assembled and now newly placed and they look absolute bang on

Well guys almost a new project on the market, Im recovering from a car crash with a narrow escape.
Now bored at home with whiplash and terrible headackes..

So what to do to keep the project moving, well I decided to refurbish the seats
Nice little project no husle.

Hello all.

The painstaking slow body reconstruction of the HUM
made some good progress today.
I was finally able to fit one of the body panels.

Great work Pieter, it will be better than new when finished!
