Lovely job. Fair play.

Any plans to put the cab back on her?

Your "before restoration" pictures look much better than my 135 does

Like Muckit - would wonder why the cab is gone?

I must say tho that the finished product does look good in all fairness

Looks good. I did a MF35 last summer. There is a hell of a lot of work to get them this good.

Great thing is that all parts are available. Did you have anything mechanical to do as well OP?

GERMAN ROCKS

what kind of money did it cost to bring her up to this level

No intention of putting cab back on. I always hated that cab.

Haven't worked it out. Not sure I want too! If I was to price my time then it was very expensive. (and lucky not to be divorced )

Muckit

Did you use sylvan for the parts?

I've a 135 that's getting a few bits done at the mo (new mudguards, reconditioned diesel pump and new front axle bits)

Yes I bought a lot of parts there, but also bought parts in Carrolls Eng in Ardee (MF Dealer).
Some spurious parts just don't cut it.
