BHPian ![]() | ![]() Very intersting account and loved the pictures accompanying the story. Took me a couple of days to go through the thread end to end. Nice to see the final result. I was myself involved in the restoration of a Standard Herald (2 door). But it was nothing compared to your experience. Well done !! |

Its been close to 6 years since the Bus has been with me. More than being a Classic Icon, this bus has been 100% in terms of Reliability ![]() Had parked the bus at my friends Farm house recently and sadly the rats chewed up my roof-lining ![]() Will be getting it home in a couple of days time for some refreshing updates to be added. | |

| ![]() Most of the work done, still the Fuel guage giving me sleepless nights, attending to it right now. Another new issue cropped up on my recent drive, the brake booster seems to have developed a leak somewhere, resulting in HIGH Idling. :( Will be attending to the above issues in the coming days. |
