western Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 get some Arles/Pacific blue paint on those quick, it'll look much better & don't forget to tell your insurers about the changes to the body & there's now a bullbar fitted. looks great, good to see another Blue 110CSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 any vehicle paint suupliers should be able to sort some, IIRC in Taunton it's Hickley Valtone, JST & the boys in that area know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 there is nice bit of totty in the Taunton depot. Not sure of the address. Behind the bus station. hes only after paint Mark and what you do behind the bus station is your business! Nice truck i think a van sided CSW 110 is a good way to go. with all the mil kit i would stay with blue though - or black..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 So what do 110 van sides come from ? Are they from a 90 or series van, or are they a specific 110 part ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pux Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 So what do 110 van sides come from ? Are they from a 90 or series van, or are they a specific 110 part ?There 88 inch swb series van sides and its a stright swap bar drilling a couple of new holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I believe that SWB Series van sides are the ones to fit - 90 ones are too long. doh, pux beat me to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denviks Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 just rear window grills to go now and a nice big lock on the rear door and we are all secure... B) all in the aid of security anyone know the best place for external window grills other than simonites?......( thats the only place i have found that sells em ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Mantec side & rear sets external leave the 110 Blue it'll be easier to just repaint the 'new' side panels & quicker than a complete repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_J85JTY Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Those Thompson Bins Seem to Fit well in the back, the there much room at either end? Also, how much do they hang over the wheel arches? I have 3 in the stores and 0 on the book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stobbie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I didn't know you could remove the panels without taking the roof off. I want to replace my rotten bodycappings with galvanised ones but have been postponing this because I did not want to take the roof off...

mike4444244 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 you can do it yourself if you do the following, undo the nuts holding the sides down to the cappings put 2 axle stands on the wheel boxes get a bar longer than the width of the car ready stand in the back, lift the roof with your shoulders and stick the bar on the stands quick! repeat for front! just be careful of your back and that the whole lot doesnt go off balance and over the side of the tub mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
