So this is what I started with in April 2019. It looked better than what it was.   0A532AC6-8FE9-4C68-95E1-DCC44BF45383.jpeg   35.16K   2 downloads  B1E73044-B52A-47C9-8C52-BEE30C053193.jpeg   33.3K   2 downloads  7617EA21-D940-4CBB-9C84-E882195082CC.jpeg   28.96K   1 downloads  86BBCEEB-8085-4419-9EFB-467A99E9D980.jpeg   34.55K   2 downloads  53558B7A-8BAA-46FC-A121-6C2832D8E83C.jpeg   31.86K   5 downloads  758D0F11-0D7F-41A3-9775-1985E78AD819.jpeg   29.73K   8 downloads  9BD47015-2917-4107-B658-1C45F9CD687C.jpeg   33.99K   5 downloads  9CCF0BF5-75F2-4EF5-A8CF-6E520380358A.jpeg   27.98K   1 downloads  C128197F-C84E-4146-A4B0-729F6C40DC4A.jpeg   28K   0 downloads  AF81B020-A108-45C9-9B0A-6EE3805B809E.jpeg   37.08K   0 downloads

So after a trip to the blaster and a coat of primer it looked like this. Holes, holes and more holes.

Crikey - that really is a patchwork quilt

What's the availability of panels for mokes like - can you still source most of them or do the need fabricating ?

[Martin108]

All panels are readily available from two companies, Moke Panels and M Parts.   

[Spider]

Moke ?

I thought that was a sieve !

 

And then you say 'more problems started to arise' ??

 

I would have stopped there.  Looking forward to seeing where this goes !!

[Martin108]

It was at this stage I realised the body work was well beyond my limited capabilities and started looking for someone to do the works. I was then introduced to Martin Csomo of AA Vintage and Classics in Moy  County Armagh and his side kick Eddie. A load of panels were purchased from Leo at Moke Panels and the Moke was delivered to Martin’s workshop.
