  Joe, you don&apos;t need to be defensive or justify yourself to the incredibly small amount of people who might be negative. 411,999 subscribers will always watch and always back you up whatever you do to your kit. 👍👍

  Maybe get the winch routed through the sleeping accommodation to get you up in the morning Wallace and Grommit style 😂

  You paid for it, do what you like with it. Your camper idea is great as long as space is made for Ted.

  The Diamond T is absolutely beautiful, and yes I completely agree the Rolls Royce bulge is a very attractive one. Also love those very slight wheelarch cutouts in the otherwise dead rectangular body. So I was horrified when you said it&apos;s coming off... for about 5 seconds, till you showed the photos of the period 5th wheel conversion Joe. But it looks amazing. And if it&apos;s a reversible mod, even better! really looking forward to seeing progress on this project! 😍

  As a Snap on Dealer for thirty years , I can confirm that using a SCREWDRIVER as a punch or chisel is not recommended as the Acetate (plastic) handle will ABSORB a large % of the effort applied and therefore dull the impact applied , therefore not aiding the completion of the task , great restoration work on the Diamond T , a garage in Shelfield West Midlands I worked at (Brush Garage ) &nbsp;had one sitting outside , resting on its axles for a good number of years , owned by Mr Geoff Sutton , he used to by a lot of vehicles from the military disposal auctions at Ruddington , Bedford 28hp , Hillman Huskys , Vauxhall Vivas , Bedford fire engines , those where the days , not sure about the Village people tank top worn by one of your compatriates , ! <br>Love the new planned transformation , a great practicle useable conversion ,

  To recreate a prototype is a nice idea, the Diamond T isn&apos;t &nbsp; &nbsp;that rare a vehicle but the one you are making will be.

  Screw the purists, the main thing is, old vehicles are kept going, in whatever form.

  Lets face it Mr Hewes, you thought digging out a concrete Chieftain tank was a terrible idea and look how that one turned out 😉 carry on good man 🙂
