Excellent work Kostas. Ready for Normandy 2014?

Have you had any luck in finding tyres yet? I have asked around, but no luck yet.

Hi Alex,
The Normandy 70th Anniversary is indeed a brilliant milestone that everybody here wish to be present. We have two and a half years ahead!

46 HANKOOK TYRES ex Greek Army JAN2012.jpg

I found two pairs of used HANKOOK 900X16 tyres in a dealer's yard here and that finding really surprised me... didn't know that Greek Army had such Korean material...

A little more progress:
The rear left corner before and after...

Some more:
The rear RIGHT corner before and after treatment.. I think that rust is a common thing at that place of a HUP and I remember that mr Waterman faced the same problem...
I have to check his site again...

Hello Kostas!

Great to see how you are progressing with the HUW. I still have to do a few things to mine to complete it like the rear seat bases and the rear door fold down table.

Phil...

Hi Phil! How are you? Where have you been?

I have the same missing parts like you.. Well... not only these but many many more...

Let me show you what we've done those days.. It was really hard to work in the cold workshop.

We finished the rear door window frame, and we changed a rotten strap at the right door over the driver's head.

Please, feel free to put your comments here to make the necessary corrections before painting! More photos to come!
