Default WSC - Restored

My WSC is now on the road - still a bit of work to be done for radio fit out, markings ets... but is getting there... and far better than it was 2 years ago.

Cannot take credit for the work - only the money to pay for the work!

Unlike many MLU'ers, I cannot weld, wire, hammer sheet metal or have many of the other skills necessary for a vehicle restoration. But I have perfected the art of writing a cheque.

Have restored vehicles in the past - but decided I didnt want to wait 4 years... and not the best thing to take on when moving house!

You may not have worked hard on the resto but I bet you worked hard on being able to pay for it.

Tim, I have personal knowledge of the effort you have gone through just sourcing parts and accessories for this vehicle. In the end who cares how you ended up with a nice restoration. You own it and we are all jealous.

Am sure the xxx Corps trip will do that - if not maybe W&P next year - this year will have my hands full taking my 2 x 75mm Pack Howitzers.

Cheers

Am sure he'll be in his element... so long as he uses oil and grease and not drool, I'll be happy!
