Very nice job indeed, it looks great. I like the passenger, maybe that's a very large I-pad and not a newspaper they're holding :D

Those are some great looking restos you have done there Stephan.
Thank you for sharing the photos.
That's a very novel idea to put a fare in the back seat of the taxi !

That certainly is another top result.

For Johnboys information...ipad means...inormous pad.

Hi,
thanks for your comments - it is defenitly a newspaper in those times when this cabs where on the road there where no Ipads. (not even thought about)

Today I finished the Tippax with two nice labels and the DAF with the new roof.
Does the original part clamp in the tipper or is it loose?
The replacement part is loose.

Not very tight push fit IIRC.

When new the plastic roof moulding was a fairly tight fit, I had one brought brand new and you needed a well placed fine finger nail to get the top off as there were no pips or clips to keep it secure, but over time these tops can shrink a little, making them easier to remove.
