Some projects have long lead times, but FIVE YEARS?

Default Westminster Regiment Carrier

If you have time, I'd love to chat to you about this carrier. I recently completed a gate guard carrier for the Westies, and I have my carrier marked to the Westies as well.

Very difficult place to get to, have looked at it for 40 years, I know only 17 kilometers from home ! But almost impossible to get to, has been sitting there since 1947 a bit stripped missing engine, drive line, rear diff with sprockets are there, some of tracks, wheels, a lot of good parts and body and hull uncut, ammo boxes and trays still in place, gas tanks gone, but all the little things that go missing are there, rad cap,

Default Rad Cap!!!!???!

BINGO!!!!

The man said Rad CAP!!!

PLEASE Oh, Please kind sir!


I am in need of a rad cap for my mk1! Some lousy so-and-so nicked the one off the carrier I bought while it was open to inspection at the auction that Jim bought it from.

Have a good solid original radiator for the restoration... nothing to plug the hole on top.

Please contact me privately if I can persuade you to sell or trade for it.

Jim

Default On an island in Saskatchewan?

That is a good looking hull. I would love to have it. I assume you want it but haven't the time or need? A barge could get in there with a tractor on it and haul it out to the barge, then make a second trip for the tractor retrieval. I guess it depends just how remote the lake is....
