You can recommission it for me to use this summer, I might let you borrow it!
It’s going into store for later..

I came to the conclusion that I would need to buy a van over a Moke - main reason being you can’t sleep in a Moke when the wife kicks you out of the house!

[Pandora]

I'm lucky, I have a van already.



Obviously it's broken, but hey, I've got it.

Lock down for me has been an odd time, I’ve never had this much time off since I was at school so I’ve made the best of a bad situation.
The GT has gone from flatting and polishing a new shell to a built car and now smmc have provided a built engine, the engine was for this moke but the GT can borrow it for now.
The S engine for my mk1 SDL with all the toys is now all here and ready to finish assembling..
The scruffy mk1 moke is out of storage, recommission, painted (badly) and now almost working..
Just to really make me smile Paul is doing the other MK1 moke

Well time for a update, Paul finished the moke an excellent job as usual..
D

[kit of bits]

Then I prepared and primed it..
Not quite finished in the pictures I forgot to take some before paint..

A nice kit of bits to keep me occupied while waiting for the shell to return..

[mk1]

Looking good!

Always nice to know there is another Moke in the world.

well done Dave

the mokes come along way since in was used as our wedding entrance sign in 2019

I now forget what I started with, a crumbling mess that was falling through the trailer.
The replacement shell was much better, price wise a moke panels new shell would have been a similar price after the restoration..
Hopefully the nice part is about to begin ..

I know what I’m doing this weekend..

D

[kit of bits]

It’s home,
it’s not as perfect as the last one but that’s because it’s not new..
I’m very happy!
D

[Paul Wiginton]

It looks fantastic Dave, keep the progress pics coming, Im loving it

[kit of bits]

Well it’s rolling, it’s off to store for a bit now
The racing season is starting and just to add to the chaos we are doing roof repairs and complete new kitchen!
I am determined to keep this one but as I enjoy building cars I may build another new one over the winter just to keep me occupied..

[kit of bits]

Well not much to update hopefully castle Combe will give me some enthusiasm, I did pick up the gearbox today and I’m picking up the engine next weekend..
Unfortunately project new kitchen got in the way both with time and mini fund £ we finished up starting again floor to roof a painful experience..
Anyway hopefully the moke will be out of store and I can enjoy myself soon building cars..
