thanks hanno you saved me a job, I was just about to post up the pics i'd put on milweb last night, the good news is it had sold by 8 am this morning so I can now focus on getting the cromwell ready for war and peace, it too is beginning to look very nice indeed but that's another story.

Well done Rick

Looking forward to seeing the Cromwell, fingers crossed its ready for W&P (does calling shotgun work with a tank )

You'll have to drop me an email if I can help with the gun.

Rick,

My pleasure, I was following your thread on HMVF and wanted to share the results of your efforts on here, too
(next time make sure you don't forget your Carrier friends here on MLU )

Good to hear the Cromwell is coming along nicely, will surely make an effort to meet you at W&P
(and maybe ask you to take my 2 boys for a ride )

Cheers,

Rick, it's really pleasing to see a vehicle I have known for years finally well on the way to being back on the road. Well done mate.

thanks for the kind words fella's. the good news is I found a working engine for the carrier so the new owner will be able to get it up and running soon

rick

ps. anyone that goes to w&p is welcome to come and have a look around the Cromwell, maybe even go for a spin for those that bring a jerrycan.
