The carrier had several mechanical issues but they were all hashed out fairly easily. One water pump was gone, ran like crap (partly due to no ballast resistor to the coil and it overheating @ 12volts in seconds), rebuilt fuel pump and carburetor, etc.. But, it runs very strong now.
The first metalwork was to strip the junk off the rear panel (old fuel tank, etc.). The flat panel behind the rear armor was significantly damaged as was the angle iron at the rear. We sheared and broke a piece of 14 guage mild steel and 1 1/2" angle iron to replace it. Here are some photos of that process:
