M151A2 Restore

[Eric B]

More updates

Fixed the tire mount issue and attached the antenna extension. Glued in the rubber sheet on the battery box lid as per CFTO.

Batteries hooked up, kill switch added with no modification other than an extra cable. Wipers functioning and all lights now working. Getting closer. Lock was on chain to secure the steering wheel.

My M151a2 Came home finally and is on the road.

Thanks to Don Dingwall, Roy and Jason Ginn for helping me get it to this stage.

It still needs a few things to finish it off but now I can enjoy it.

Thanks

Eric

Glad you are getting the opportunity to enjoy it before the snow flies Eric. Looking forward to more info/photos etc on your radio setup when you get time... I know you put a lot of effort into that part of the project.

Hi Eric (first MLU-er I ever met)

Awesome. Fantastic look to it.

You must be very proud.

regards
Darrell

Very nice looking rig! I wonder since the tires were grooved, the 'WT' meant "Winter Tire" following your thought of a trial?

[Eric B]

Thanks all.

Never thought much more of the tires as I have been preoccupied by other things. Yes WT could mean winter tire.

Still sorting out and trying to find some radio gear, such as the PRC-515.

Just as a comparison shot, I used Home Hardware Olive green spray paint to paint the engine area. It is very close to the dark green in the camouflage pattern. Original gloss olive paint is on the underside of the hood and was also used as an overall coat. It is now under the flat paint.

Thanks
Eric
