1966 SWB 2A

---------------------------------------------------------
I bought this 10 years ago as a project- it was in use as a wood
shed outside somebodies house...
I totally stripped it and slowly taught myself mechanics and
welding as it went back together. Some of the work included:-
-middle crossmember replaced
-new footwells, door pillars, and top corners in the bulkhead
-front panel repaired
-new wiring loom
-rebore, crank grind, unleaded head etc in the engine
-new doors
-replaced the battered and corroded rear tub
-new brakes all round
-reverted it back to a truck cab
-repaint
-removed all the modern tat (plastic arches, 8 spokes, speakers,
stickers etc)
Since then its been its been a good reliable old hack!!
