Default M548 Carrier, Cargo Tracked, 6 Ton Preserved

Readers may recall a sorry looking M548 which turned up in Tasmania last year looking for a new home...

The bulk of the restoration has been carried out and the machine is well on the way to being completed within a year, possibly to appear at Corowa 2014 (finances permitting)

Still chasing lots of parts but there was never a time limit on this one.

Cheers

Phill

Lynn, sorry but at the moment it's back in storage for several months so no more new pics for a while. Coincidentally my old Iphone, with endless pics during the restoration has died so no old pics at the moment either...

Ben, I think you would agree it looks better than when it first arrived off the ship ! It will look even better once the cargo bobs & canopy are refitted and maybe a gun ring mount...

Cheers

Phill
