the engine has a rebuild tag on it, the date 1962. it will be interesting to see what is inside it.

It does look like you have portions of a lower hull Canadian production UC MK-I*. I wager the date in the engine rebuild tag may read 1952 instead of 1962? If I can be so bold to suggest a good start may be to remove and dispose of those upper front plates with something new and more correct appearing?
Best wishes with your project Leo. Have fun! If you still have the truck, it may be able to transport the panzerjager bren project? Last edited by Michael R.; 20-03-18 at 04:44.

i'll have to check out the tag again. as for the armor it will need a lot of clean up. (thats why i'm here on MLU.) funny you should mention transport i recently saw a trailer made specifically for towing UC's. it was being towed by a FL60(?) sized truck and though i could do that. unfortunately we got more snow coming so it's going to be a few weeks before i move the UC out of storage and up to the work pad.

the space i need to do the UC is cleared. got it uncovered and ready to move it into position on the concrete pad. probably going to start with getting everything out and on the ground to see what i have. i'm sure what i don't have will be a bigger list. really looking forward to doing this. i'll get some more picts up as i start to disassemble it.

so i finally moved the carrier to where it needs to be to get worked on. went thru some of the parts that came with it and half of what i need is there. at least for the drive line it's pretty complete. used my 41 to move out of it's hole and into the garage. spent most of the winter going thru the engine and trany. bad news on the engine there are 2 large cracks in the block. 1 is thru the exhaust port so i scored a good block and will be sending it out to the machine shop in a month or two. next up is working on the steering/brake assembly.
