It is obviously going to cost a huge sum of money to restore this Carrier without including the transport. You will find next to nothing in the way of body parts / armour and everything will have to be fabricated from new. Unless you are doing all the work yourself you are also unlikely to ever recover the cost of restoration when you sell. Pay particular attention to the tracks because if they are worn out you will need a new set cast and machined plus track pins.

Having said this if you if you plan on keeping it long term you may not worry about this. Carriers do come up for sale in the UK occasionaly but they do sell very quickly and prices for good complete examples are going up all the time.

I can't believe that they would chop it up like that and still leave the front skirts on!!!!
