EDIT:- my greater bet was correct so you only owe me 30 quid then har har har har

Darn. I should have kept my mouth shut. Well, when you get over here, and at the rate that your British pound is plummeting, I'll likely only have to buy you a half a brew as equivelent to that 30 quid.

hi fella's
it was me that bought the carrier and it's coming to manchester when the shipping is sorted out, i've got no pics to show as yet which is why i haven't put anything on the forum but when i do i'll post them here, after which the begging and buying stage of the restoration will begin.

all the best

hi richie

john from midwest is already sorting out a 20 ft container for me so they'll be plenty of room for spares and when the carrier arrives i'm sure we'll get to meet up and do a few swaps, not sure what's needed for it yet though other than rad, engine and box but i will soon enough.

all the best

Eddy.....engine top covers etc, center bulkhead peices welded back in, intake ducting, drivers front plate gunners left plate and gunners front plate (to make the hull complete) Martyn and I (plus others i am sure) are more than willing to help, you are 3 hours from me and possibly just up the road from Martyn who lives in Lincoln. i have a cad drawing for the centre bulkhead it is made from 5mm steel so can be laser cut which mine was, i would just weld in the missing slithers rather than cut it all out, i had a good look at it when it appeared on Johns site. its an excelent project and looking at the way the drivers plate was cut it should still have the numbers in, unless they have been lost through the heat of the rose bud torch that had been used to desimate it. or it is an older Mk1

welcome to the family. ps in the spirit of the thread (tracks) the tracks and sprockets looked good on yours.......

AJ, we need to find one for you now, and we will have a full carrier platoon, would be nice to get them all liveried up the same and do some shows

It sure would! I have Mrs ajmac on side... although she is more into a Dingo than a Carrier, however in reality it seems to me that a Carrier is going to be easier to restore and 'keep on the road' than a Dingo what with the relatively rare drive train parts and those well known tyre issues. Carriers also seem to pip Dingo to the post in terms of project availability.
