Hello Eric,I,m very happy with my find,and thanks for the info.
The floor has some pretty bad pitting but nothing that will give me to much grief.

Default Tow Hook number

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the information regarding the number on the towing eye,I just hope that other owners will check this out its just another little bit of the jig saw puzzle,I removed my air scoop before we sand blasted the hull along with all of the other fittings oil cooler etc,but did not see any writing on the wall it was more than likely there but time and weather takes its toll, after your hull is sand blasted you will never notice the pitting on the floor, and whats the worst? mate you have your carrier and a little piece of Australian history, once again congratulations on a great find,
please keep the pics coming
Regards, Ron

Hello All,
This might be a bit hard to see but this is some of the stencilling i found on the wall under the airscoop.

Hello Ron,
Very slow progress at the moment,but i now have all the dirt and crud removed,the seats out,floor controls out,and a lot of other little fittings removed.
the floor under the plate that has the pedals on it is in surprisingly good condition.which is good news!.
I,ll post some pics tomorrow.

Justin.
