Bob,
Many thanks for the compliments. I have attached a couple of before and after photos of Steve's Australian Army weasel ARN 139999 (there were only two) that I recently (well two years ago  ) rebuilt as well. We found this weasel in Jindabyne and used a donor hull for repair sections to reconstruct the hull as you see it today. There are lots more photos but I am sure that you can appreciate the work involved in rebuilding vehicles, whatever their make or model.Richard, Corowa is on my travel itinerary albeit not this year. Would you believe that give or take a few Kms I am exactly half way between Corowa and Bundy. When I do finally get to Corowa with my M29C, I have challenged my good friend Richard Sanders to a river race; his GPA vs my M29C weasel. I think that a lot of beer and tall stories will be told after the race  Somehow a victory at close to 5 knots is really not a big deal.Cheers John W.

Yes, there were only two in the Australian Army, but ANARE also sourced a couple from the French and left them/lost them in Antarctica in the 1950s.
I was reading a document today that has a reference to the date the two Army M29Cs were delivered to Monegeeta for testing. It was around August 1945. They eventually ended up in storage at 1COD Bandiana before disposal. Mike c
