Well today i picked up my new project . It is a 1955 split screen ute
and i have a van back which i will use on it . I have an 803 motor and box ready for it . It is a total rebuild so i am looking at 6 - 12 months until it will be finished . I have also brought a 1955 4 door car as a parts car . I will upload photos next week .

Welcome to the world of Minor LCVs!
Are you doing a restoration or will you be using modifying it.
As you said you will be using your 803cc, I guess you are aiming for a restoration.
Cheers
Don

Today i spent a few hours working on the van . I removed the van back and cab . There is some rust in the cab floor but not too bad . ( easy fix ) The rest of the cab looks good . The van back has some rust in the floor at the rear but roof looks really good . I hope to start on the chassis first .
