Jill had other ideas and she suggested that I should restore the Lynx as I had wanted to get one on the road for 37 years. After a bit of thought, I agreed and on 10th May 2013 the remnants which had been sitting outside for many years were wheeled into the workshop.
Yes that's right the 10th May 2013. Corowa is a short 10 months away, March 2014. Fingers crossed well make it.

My mate Graeme Clarke assisted with an old front end loader and I started to pull what I had to bits.

First job was to remove the hull from the chassis, not a big job as it had been just sitting on the chassis for years.

There's Jill in the background ready to get to work. I cannot thank her enough for all the help and assistance she gives me.

Regards Rick.
