Another Lynx mkIII

[Crets]

At this moment the Lynx is completly stripped and most parts are sandblasted. As expected it seems that I have a lot of welding to do.

I commented about your project on a Facebook group for C15TA Canadian Armoured Trucks. There are many similarities between the technologies and the present condition of the vehicles. Although not the same thing, you may find commonalities in restoration methods within that group.

As for having any parts to offer, sorry about that. There are other things cluttering my property, and none of them are armoured.

Thanks for the info!

To be honest Terry, I am pretty sure that the members of said FB group with any restoration experience are on this forum to begin with. I have not seen a comprehensive CMP restoration thread anywhere on FB but on the MLU Forum FB group. Don't get me wrong, FB has it's place but they themselves advise users to post just a single photo with only a few lines of text - that's whats gets the most likes.

Sorry to be preaching to the choir, but sometimes a little self promotion is needed to keep the herd together

There is a chance that newcomers to the hobby and non-English speaking people would gravitate to FB as a first stop. Social media has a couple of major providers, which sort themselves out by age and demographics. More conventional forums like MLU have long established clienteles. And, much better search and revisit functions.

And yes, choirmaster we recognize what you do.

David, it indeed looks like you have your work cut out! It was to be expected after standing outside for so many years. But most of it seems to be there so it can be recreated. Good luck and keep us posted. Keep asking questions, most of the answers are on here.
