Hi Lynn, Ryan and everyone else. You are right that there's not many left which is the reason i like to save them. I have the odd one that is just too far gone but I get self satisfaction after I have finished something. I can't say that how I construct or repair anything is the perfect or even the correct way, but it works for me with what limited knowledge I have. Every machine is different as far as restoration. The principal of repair is the same, just the technique varies with equipment and skill levels and mine are cut, shut and weld. Knowing the layout and componentry of these machines is a big help. I don't need to reference much on these particular carriers any more. I can say to anyone who is about to restore one and that is put your head down, arse up and just do it. The more you look at rust it won't get any better. If anyone wants any close up particular pics please let me know.
On that note, it's saturday morning, my wife's home to look after the kids so i'm off to the shed and try and knock this carrier off today. Pics tonight.
Colin.
