I can only imagine that your grandad would be immensely proud of you using his tools in your own work.

So cool, as an American I knew of Morris Minors but didn't know they made trucks. The one tip I have for you is something I have learned from my own work on cars and from many other car youtubers is while it's this apart do not skip any cleaning, repairs, & replacements as something you can do later. This will slow you down at first but once it's together you will be thankful you can just enjoy it and not worry about it. Also be careful not to spiral into doing a perfect resto like My Mechanics youtube, unless that is what you want to do. That man's level is awe inspiring and hard to pull off.

Really loved hearing the bit about your granddad's history and tools. ^^

Great to see someone bringing a classic back to life

We are all here for the Moggy Matt 👍

Looks like you are doing a great job with that, and enjoying yourself as the same time.
I don’t like the music that accompanied this; it doesn’t need music at all. Your commentary and the noise of the work being done is absolutely fine.

I'm hoping that somebody will equally appreciate my exquisite collection of Parkside power tools in the decades to come 🤭

Looking forward to seeing more of this. And digging the Project Hail Mary hat.

"A little bit ... suddenly escalated into a much larger job"...
Ah what a familiar feeling.

Here for this. Can't wait until you add the giant robot spider legs and 3D printed seats!

Matt you are the real life lego man :D pretty cool you're using your grandfather's old tool, I myself use my father's old Bosch jigsaw from the late 80s

Straight in at 0:15 "Quickly escalated into a much larger job..." Yup, that sounds sooo familiar!

Loved this, Bertie is going to look amazing when finished, looking forward to seeing how it all goes and what adventures Bertie goes on.

Please give me a shout if you need any of the exploded parts diagrams i've got or an original service manual. Much more detailed than modern day ones.

Having rebuilt a few classic vehicles (went the 're-shell' rather than re-chassis route on one of them), I'd advise to get to a rolling chassis as early as possible and also ensure the (repaired) body fits the chassis before you paint it! (I learned this the hard way - ie don't do major body repairs/welding without it being attached to the chassis). Also, keep the doors & tailgate fitted. The mechanical stuff is just grown up Lego, so I'm sure you can manage that ;-)
