Default International K5 by Corowa 2016

G'day folks,

Having posted a thread in the Softskin Forum about my International K5, I thought this might be a more appropriate forum to have an ongoing restoration thread. So, all progress (however glacial) will be posted here.

I'm also engaging in research to find out not only what I can about this vehicle, but about the whole story of Australian military vehicles being released into civillian ownership after the Second World War. Several forum members have been extremely patient and helpful, and I've been able to start the investigation into what happened.

But first, the truck. I may be repeating my pics from the other thread, but I think it's good to set a benchmark before I start work.

*Edit 15 March 2015* Having been to Corowa yesterday, and coming home enthused, I've decided to do everything in my power to get this truck ready to take to Corowa next year. Can it be done?! I have a year!

Cheers,
Matt
