Thanks guys, and thankyou Lynn for the welcome. I find these forums such a great resource and way of learning and meeting new friends. I am a member of quite a few vehicle related boards and really enjoy them. I do get some sideways looks from the dear wife who wants to know what I am doing with the laptop whilst watching tv, but I am sure I am not alone in that!
I have one restoration that I am completing, not an MV, and want to finish that before starting the Carrie. I will pull it completely apart and sandblast the hull. What is concerning me is the highly pitted armour in places which will detract from the look I wish to achieve. i wonder whether good old body filler will do a good job or whether it will eventually crack out ? Any thoughts any one. Short of that, i guess one could look at lead loading ( expensive!) or cutting out the offending pieces and replacing with new metal.
I see David put new floors in the sponson sides in the rear. Was that a mammoth job? What did you use to cut out the old floors with David?
cheers Andrew
