Great to see full size pics Spike, can't wait to see it in the flesh ;)

Looking really good, I bet you can't wait to start re-assembly. That is the really rewarding part putting clean, shiny bits back on a finished shell, as you start to see real progress on the project on a daily basis.

Outstanding Spike, I am not sure but it looks as though you might have fitted the rear shock absorber top bushes wrong. there should be a rubber either side of the arch tub with the conical washer on the top inside the load area. Might be just the angle of the photo and you might have them like that already.

I am just about to go out to the last show of the year in mine and I can say that the woody gets lots of interest at the shows and some people telling you all sorts of stories about theirs years ago, I had a couple who started telling me a story about them camping in it on holiday and stopped when it go to the conception of their first child as she was with them at the show ( it was so funny ).

I'm new to this forum but have to say your traveller keeps bringing me back in. I've wanted a Traveller for a long time (Parents had one LWY166D), missed out on one a few years back as I just couldnt prise it from the owner despite several attempts. Now out of my league and missed the boat so to speak.

This is just an amazing build - and look forward to see how you progress. I can only imagine the hours that are going into this build. Well done for saving such and out and out classic....

Spent till 11 o'clock Friday night all day Saturday and until 6 tonight so I'm still spending serious hours putting it back together. I could do with a set of plastic spammers.

Outstanding!

Just a quick helpful comment - you've got the rear brake shoes in back to front. The front should have the end with the bigger part with no friction material at the top, the rear one should have it at the bottom.

Fuel line is Stainless steel and the brake pipe is cupro. Go to the top of the class
