61DC project

[Kombiiknut]

Starred getting into this project, after about 12 years of asking the previous owner to sell it to me, he finally said yes. Have cut the floor out and new one going in, also looks better in the photos than it is, found a heavy skim of bog from the previous panel guy, so that's all since come out. Will try and remember to put some progress shots up as we go..

I see the guy who removed my taillights got yours too!

Cool bus, nice looking shed too.

Another 61 with oval taillights, so here’s the dilemma, do you go with them or fit the twin taillights? I have the same on the 61DC I have but I recon I will switch it to twin taillights because I personally like them. Let the OG and personal preferences start

Or just run a single light with amber LED inside?

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like the running gear has already been updated.

A vote for twin taillights from me.

Looks like as found no tail lights so don’t know what it was originally. Probably twins, at the end of the day you can’t see them from the driver seat so whatever works I reckon

ooh nice work. re the tail lights I had head that dealers swapped the twin taillights for teh oval ones in 61/62 so buyers got the new version - dont know if true but a good story, though personally Id go the twin lights..

[Cheeseboard]

Re twilights. I was ignorant with our ‘61 and knew no different at the start of the resto, plus mine came with the ovals at the time of purchase. So the ovals went in for free compared with the cost of buying twins. Saying that, if I’d known it should have had twins, I’d probably have bitten the bullet and gone with twins.

But the ovals look just fine, stuff the purists, they’re all wankers!

Love it!

(No opinion on twin vs oval other than do whatever you want, or whatever will annoy you the least in 5 years time).

Ford Prefect meets Ford Ranger 16" bands, removed Prefect centre and Ranger centre for widened install. Perfect fit
