Hi Brenton, there is a few fittings there but a bit worse for ware so I will probably replace most af them.

Hi Ron, yes it is a nice little project. After the way the way mortar carrier performs and handles I'm going to disgust all those avid restorers and put in the windsor and C4 which I have. Its like having an automatic armoured gokart on steroids. Model AAGOS 6019

Will it fit in there? I looked at that idea once but I found there wasn't enough room. The problem was the transmission was too long. The flathead and trans are very short.

Hi Ledsel, the hull is exactly the same as the mortar carrier. In fact the mortar carrier was an ofspin af the 2 pounder hull. Thats the reason I am restoring this one as it is still fresh in my mind for fabrication and engine fitting..(just a minor upgrade)

Hi Colin, its your machine and your money and time so I say go for it, its better than leaving it rotting away somewhere in the bush, at least you have saved it, good on you,
regards Ron

Hi everyone, the 2 pounder is back from the sand blaster and work has started. I have made and fitted the exhaust system while its upside down and given the underside a coat of paint. That part is finished so I won't have to get underneath later. I cut the wings and back off as it was not in very good nick so some new body is in order. I will probably flip it over tonight and get a few more pics then post them.
by 4 now
