Cruiser restoration
A record of the busy scene (minus the manpower!) during the restoration of the cab of my Leyland Cruiser 16.21 tow truck. The cab whilst being quite good for a 1981 model did have some rust in it in the usual T45 places. Inevitably the job "grew" as work progressed. The windscreen was broken after the cab was tilted and a hidden screwdriver dropped onto the screen! A blessing in disguise, as the hidden rust at the botton of the windscreen panel was revealed and was able to be repaired.
The job was completed in time (just) for the lorry to attend this year's Leyland Society event at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland.
