I hope the weather does not change next friday :roll: As for drafty, well I have had the moke for 25 years...so I like good ventilation....shorts and a T shirt are the way to go...and a coat in the boot just in case!

Looking good Ken.
When I was at a similar point on my Moke, I suddenly realised that restoring one was almost like cheating.....
No doors to hang, no gaps to fret over (the bonnet is supposed to fit like that) no interior to speak of, no windows to install, no headliner.... Hey, let's bleed the brakes and try her out. :D

I totally agree with you but you will have to convince the guys at the bodyshop who spent a lot of time prepping the shell :lol:

there is nothing funny about Edinburgh this month!

if another 'thesp' sticks a flier for their crappy show in my face, or a bloody tourist 'culture vulture' walks on my heels all the way down the street until another idiot stops dead in front of me to watch a man juggling buckets of shit, I may just commit an atrocity.

roll on September!

Spotted this on the way home today :-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-MOKE-res ... 4cf9832cde

The shell is terrible but I suppose someone out there will have the patience and ability. It seemed longer than a normal moke,LWB Moke
didn't know there was such a thing. Could be a home-grown creation ??
