Thanks for the update - good to hear!

I've just been in direct contact with the factoy in China (www.carbody.com) who makes these parts (this week). Avril in sales has pretty good english. Their webiste 'should' list a complete set of parts and I'd assume if Topnault are the US distributor they have access to everything the factory...

I've just seen the minature 40's they make - my first grandson arrived in January - think I'm going to go for a plywood based version!!

Thanks - first I've heard of them, I'll have a look!

Really helping my thinking - from all the pics I've concluded my tub really isn't that bad - and doing the repairs is probably the better option to going through all the trouble seen on here. I might try and buy a few parts for where I need to cut out and replace larger sections, but otherwise...

Same stuff - this is the Juncheng factory that supplies Topnault. Just got some of their literature from a UK car show - www.carbody.com

Thanks for the pointer - lots of info on here re: Topnault, and all very recent, so really helpful...

Agreed - reading other threads now and that seems to be the main concern. I'm getting the impression that "buy the bits and assemble yourself" is the way to go - just need to figure out if I can get parts delivered to the UK at sensible cost!!

Thanks, that's helpful, I'll take a look - I don't know if I can get parts supplied to UK but have asked the question. I'm very early in my rebuild but interested to know if it's worth replacing some bits rather than fixing, so the quality is key.

Hi all, Just enquiring if anyone has any experience or familiarity with the 40 series body panels being offered by this Chinese company - Jiangsu Juncheng Vehicle Industry Co Ltd - website is 'www.Carbody.com' They were at the practical classics show at NEC in the UK this weekend, and looking...

Hi all, I've had my paper copy digitised - thought others may find it useful... mine is a European spec so I'm working through any differences. If it works I'm goign to import to Visio and edit a version for my vehicle. I'll share that if I can do it!

Cheers Duncan, that's what I hope mine will look like eventually! Some nice artwork as well!

Thanks Matti! Look forward to sharing and seeing progress on our very similar vehicles!!

Thanks for enlarging and sharing the wiring diagrams - they're going to be a big help - my electrics are a real mess! o_O

Hi all, I've just purchased a 1981 BJ42 European model, imported to the Uk from Finland in 2016. Last owner had it for 7 years and hasn't taken particulalrly good care so lots of work to do (which is largely why I bought it). Currently drive a 1999 HDJ101K, still with only 52k miles on it...
