Richie's MK1 Restoration
Congratulations on a great job .It makes the rest of us feel better after reading about all your troubles and yet the restoration goes on .We all have trouble finding time .I have a good shop , a loader and lot's of room and I wonder how you fellows make out in the city .Calgary has a bylaw that you can't have a vehicle on you place if it doesn't have a license on it .The Government spends money on alot of recreation, why not have a place where you can rent a stall inside and have access to tools and hoist for doing our hobies. Reg Hodgson ,editer of Army Motors for the MVPA has a yellow carrier . If we wern't so far apart we could gang up on these green guys .You could have used my drill press it can drill those holes in 6 seconds with two fingers ,faster then you can put the bolts in .Your rivets look great .Gota go and work on my No 3 Mk1

well the garage it was in you could just squeeze up each side of the carrier and finding space for toolage was a nightmare.... 8 - 10 weeks should hopefully see the new workshop built then i can get on with it ! just busy looking for a lathe and some nice bits and bobs to go back in when its built !
the project is approaching the nice stage of the build ie clean restored bits can start going back on shortly and i am sure the project will pick up speed

Awsome job Richard, been watching your progress and the stages that you have done your carrier to get an idea as to how to go at my unit. Im hoping to get heavy into my project with in a few weeks as the weather is getting warmer now, the motor is almost done now, I did that over the winter. Thanks for sharing
