Sorry to hear you have hit a rough patch, Rod. Life can be a bitch, but there’s always hope for things to get better. I hope your hobby is what keeps you going, if not then get rid of it. I know a couple of people who were fed up with it one day and got rid of everything. It was a big relief for them. Others find joy and new energy playing or tinkering with their collection.
Hang in there!

I have been out and about

A road trip for a nice cab, so little rust, this will save me weeks of time.
It was missing the right door, air vents, the side panels, and bonnet
These were the parts I already had, so i couldn't resist sitting them on

Next - Got a starter and distributor for the Bedford engine

Some years ago I was given a Caustic hot bath cabinet, rusted with holes of course, I fibreglassed the inside and have it for my molasses soak now
It holds 400 litres
I have a gearbox, a clutch, 2 manifolds, 3 heads, 2 rocker covers, a foot air pump, compressor off a blitz and lots of bits and pieces in it now

The 200 litre drum has 2 sumps a few other bits and a wok

Now I do other things while I wait about 8 weeks

Default Interesting cab

Purchased via UK order 907 in 1941, temporarily assigned to the USASOS in 1942, and later returned in unserviceable condition. Note the absence of a roof hatch - normally a standard mod to Cab 12's arriving in Australia and being assembled by FMC.
