A few pics of the 110 as it stands. I can't do a full-blown restoration as I use the thing daily but will try and keep updating as I go.

Have done a few odd bits this weekend, like removal and prep of side steps and rear frame - sorry the pics are not in any order as I don't have the facility to upload from a website!

Had a good poke about the chassis and apart from one small hole it is quite solid. The question is weather to coat it in some form of paint - I have been told that MOT testers don't like it if you do - any thoughts? I was thinking of good-old red oxide?
 
Yes, want to extend the cab though, but sourcing a double cab roof is proving to be hard.
Will probably red oxide the chassis to start with

I prefer painting the chassis just after MOT time so as to prevent any issues arising.

I think your rear tow pin could do with shortening a bit :D
 
Yes, its not the correct bit - I lent it to someone and they lost the damn thing!
 
Its a one of these:

Does what I need it to do and came off one of the old troopers so was free, which I like very much
 
Not sure of it's history and the side locker had been retro-fitted very badly by the previous owner - the 'ole what the door frame fits into was too big and it kept falling out.
You also opened the door (or it fell out) to reveal absolutely nothing! I have done a quick repair job and built a storage box for strops, ropes etc.
