Well guys after the responses cooming through I think it's wise to revamp the tractor.
Interestingly enough I was at the "Emu Gully Air & Land Spectacular" last weekend lending my LP2 to the re-enactors & was lucky enough to see a carrier that had been rebuilt from the same cut lines as my hull. At the time I was suprised to see a carrier cut the same, but it did give me hope that a cut down hull to this extent could be returned to original. Little did I know that i was looking at the 2nd "worth" tractor I had come across in my travells! Filled with enthusiasm I sourced anther South Australian Railways carier hull for the upper armour to bring it back. How things can change in less than a week. How to explain another carrier hull in the driveway to the wife..........
I think the die is cast, she should be brought back to what is displayed in the advert, a QLD "Worth" carrier tractor. Time to give those Strickland boys a run for their money!
Images attached show the areas that match the advert, that rang the alarm bells. I cannot see anything on the illistration that does not match the hull I have with exception to the steering wheel not having level spokes. The original paint is "orange" or faded red, I think jungle green or deset yellow will be more appropriate......
