Default Vc 2047 lp2

Good evening all, I've just pulled VC2047 from the shed after sitting there for a couple of years. I have all parts to complete this one. I did some serious hull work and had it blasted prior to storage but I still have a little more to do before it gets a good dose of primer and over coat.

Most of the smaller parts I have already sand blasted but I'll wait until I have all the small parts done so I can undercoat them all at once.

I have previously made just about all the generally missing bits, ( Boxes, covers, jack holders, gear change parts) and lots more so this carrier will have a mix of original parts and my repo's. I will keep you informed as to my progress
Colin.

Did you find the reassembly instruction booklet too?

I have visions of some Swedish IKEA furniture pictogram with a little man and an Allen wrench, except he's an old Aussie cobber with a felt hat.
