When you first got it!
 

OK lets see what AFV looked like when you 1st got it...

To get the ball rolling he is my fairly complete M3 Hybrid with a M3A1 bath tub and British Universal Carrier bath tub. The Stuarts had just traveled 1000klm from Sydney and the Carrier a further 800klm from Victoria. The M3 had 1st come from near Perth in WA on the other side of the country. So it is well traveled.

Phil, great idea. Well here's what the Ram Kangaroo looked like when I first got it:

Although it had to be transported over 650km only, we did pass through four countries! It looked terrible, but was good enough to restore as a plinth vehicle - it could even have been restored as a runner. Although I did get it transferred into my name on paper, this was done only so I could go ahead and restore it to serve as a memorial for the 1st Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment.

Hanno,

I was in Mill again, last week. It is still a very fine monument!

For years, most people referred to it as "Scraphound"....

Here's my Otter when She arrived!!!
Affectionately known as the armoured skip. Sadly due to the arrival of the Fox not much has changed.

Here is my other big toy.

LVT 4 (late production) Before we could move it it had over 6 ton of water in her to be pumped out 1st. Not much done to it but atleast it has a roof over it now.

Ok here is the picture that was sent to me by the seller when I initialy asked about his UC for sale.

and here is my C15A truck. I had been sitting outside for about 1.5-2 years when the picture was taken.

Here's a pic of my Portee taken 2 yrs ago, it had sat under a lean to for 15 years and was in a pretty sad state. Amazing what heaps of blood, heaps of sweat, heaps of time and heaps of money can do, I feel a bit sick now .
