Was going to offer my services for rivet snaps but looks like you have done the job (or gone coach bolts)
Looking good !

Guys,
I'm only the messenger, posting a few pics of Siemon's work on here. He is a member and can read English but writing is more difficult. Hanno

I went to visit Siemon last Saturday. He's making very good progress on the Carrier. There's a more complete one nearby from which he copies many parts, striving to manufacture them as original as possible.
Here are some pictures he wants to share with MLU: 1) After sandblasting, the upper armour was measured up and fitted:

Siemon is doing a great restoration on this Carrier. He has an old stock overhauled engine waiting to be dropped in. I think he will be driving around in it somewhere next year. Hanno
