Identification of F15 2WD?

[Ganmain Tony]

Doesnt look like a lot but I have covered some ground over the last few weekends.

Had a heck of a lot of fun and learning some seriously handy skills as well as a few in house tricks.

Trick has been to get out all the damage out of the roof. But keep the spot welds and rough look that would have been there as it rolled off the factory floor.

We have not cheated (much) only very thin bog has been used to get very slight ripples where a weld repair has been done and one bad crease near the back window. Then a couple of coats of high fill .

Also put a bit of top coat on some other bits. Dont it feel great to get some bits looking this terrific.

Couldnt wait to bolt everything down so I built a fragile castle and pretended.

Yes there may have been some flat head and crash gear change noises made as well.

Started on the roof hatch. Removing remanants of latch. Drilling out domed slotted head bolts that refused to budge. By a miracle a roof in far worse condition than this one yeilded a pretty good latch and the bolts came out intact as well.

Good work, fat old man!

[Lynn Eades]

Howard, you need to insert "Happy" in there.
Tony You look like you're "Dancing like no one can see you"
Enjoy friend! Life is short!

[Keith Webb]

Nice work Tony! Good to see you looking so happy too.

Those latches are hard to find intact aren't they.

[Ganmain Tony]

It never ceases to amaze me how these bits, after some effort, return to almost "as new" condition.

They are neglected and abused from the day they are manufactured and can still look like this after 70 years.

We are extremely lucky to have the right sort of climate that lends itself to preservation I suppose.

Roof finally done as well as the back of the Cab.
