Project F15

[Howard]

G'Day all,
The following photo is the F15 that was my Grandfather's and I now intend to get back on the road. I would love some advice & feedback from the wonderful community of MLU.
Keith has been a great help to me, before meeting him I did not know the first thing about model ID. Still learning! Keith tells me this particular unit is rare for Aus, what is the story in other parts of the world?
Initially my intension was to simply rebuild & make the vehicle roadworthy & street registered. But if the old girl is rare, I feel I have an obligation to restore it to original specs, paint scheme, etc.? This would involve 'undoing' several modifications made to the vehicle by my Grandfather. For example the winch mount position. (The crane set-up is definitley going).
Your thoughts?
Howard.
