This rim is another clue that vehicle was in military service durring whole war and was not the one left behind in 1940. I have 4 more rims to sandblast, we will see what others will show us.

Another busy Saturday. I hope to put it back together one day. It is a bit depressing to take apart such beauty.

I think left side is original and right was reinforced later. What is your opinion?

Default Rood reinforcements

Hi Janek

You have discovered the weakness of the cab 11 design. when you make new wood structure plan for some steel sheet metal reinforcements in that corner joint..... if you reinforce from behind when building it almost all can be hidden by using steel plates behind the roof boards.

I beleive Alex did some fancy trick when he redid his C8......

I hope you are taking thousands of digital photos during the dis-assembly you will find them useful when you are putting back together again.

Cheers
