Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[sibbald629]

My name is John Sibbald, Im from Armadale in central Scotland.

I have a Ford E83W pickup at my yard which has been in the family since new. It Has lay and lay with lots of good intentions to be restored but it just never happened.

Last year I stripped it all down and had the chassis sand blasted and painted as I would like to have it restored for my fathers 60th birthday in 3 years time.The cab on it is almost non existent as the rot is so bad.

I was wondering if any one has a cab that is in restorable condition, know of any one who does or of some one who can use what I have to reconstruct one? Im pretty new to this scene so any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John

Hi John

Welcome to the forum.

This fella had a cab and some parts a while back (probably sold by now), might be worth asking what he still has:

I think I have a spare grille in as-new condition if yours is shot, may be an odd door kicking around too - repairable but needing work. I used to have quite a lot of bits but most of it has gone to new homes now.

Hi.

Thanks for that very swift reply.

I have emailed him to see if he has one. I will have a look at the stuff I have, I think the grill is repairible but may need doors. I will know more when I get wadded into it over the summer as I probably need alot more parts.

Thanks again

John

Hi

I would love to see some pics of what you do have?

I may have a few small bits and pieces spare, but not a whole cab or anything like that.

Cheers

Dave
