The Lynx was pushed into the shed on the 10th May 2013 and one week later the fully stripped chassis is off to the sandblaster.

I located a new sandblaster in the next town who was just starting up and he offered me a cut-price. An agreement was made and I delivered chassis, front axle and many other bits to him.

Fortunately for me he had a few helpers each time I went to his work place.

Unfortunately he had an equipment failure and things took a few months longer than I had hoped. Whilst I was waiting for the bits to be sandblasted, I had plenty to go on with. There were fittings to be bushed out, brackets to be made and panel beating on quite a few thin unarmoured tinwork parts. There were repairs and rebuilding to be carried out on a myriad of parts.
