Series I 86" SW SYB 617
As 'SYBIL' arrived. There was not really a lot wrong with the vehicle. However, the new owner wanted 'SYBIL' to look her best.
   

All the extra non-standard wiring and the indicators need removing.

The body has been removed revealing the chassis which is in good condition but the wrong colour.
Just the rolling chassis now. The engine doesn't need much doing to it, just a clean and check over.
The chassis has been cleaned and painted the correct colour. The bulkhead has also been cleaned and re-sprayed.
Now everything starts to go back together. The refurbished axles have been fitted. The engine is replaced and the bulkhead goes back on.
The capstan winch was taken apart, cleaned an replaced on the chassis.
The rear tub goes back on. The galvanised cappings go on, along with the lower doors.
The rest of the bodywork gradually goes back on.
The roof and sides are replaced. Just waiting for the alpine lights and tropical roof to be fitted.
The finished vehicle.

Isn't she lovely? (Even though we do say so ourselves!)
