Another swb restoration :)

Here is my swb 1974 landy named herb that I'm rebuilding, really
needs it... Haha
Here it is when I looked at it and the got it back. It's in a
pretty bad state with the chassis snapped just behind the front
cross member.

That's how far I've got so far, next job will be rebuilding the
axle ready to bolt on the new chassis when I get it.
I'll keep you all updated but may be slow due to other work
commitments.

I know it's been a while, but unfortunately I am no longer going
to be able to restore this beauty as I have been talked into
buying a house.... And I must make a sacrifice :/
So it is with great regret that I am putting it up for breaking.
