Looks like my moke will be ready for the club national?...this pic taken Saturday morning, only the engine to pop back in and the wiring loom and seats, bonnet, etc to paint..and the hood to fit, easy?

I hope the weather does not change next friday
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.

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

The very same moke in 1988, but that was the fashion up North in 1988

Oh, I'm sure you could still do that.....
But, you might have to call the fire brigade to get you out.

Probably right about the fire brigade....but hopefully they would not need cutting tools on my shell!
I am told the moke will be back together on Friday....so I have insured it with FJ and hope for a spin at the weekend...will post pics

Have you ever considered doing some gigs at the Edinburgh comedy fringe ?

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 :-

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 ??
