Default Welcome on board.....

Obviously a patient man to wait 8 years........ another 8 and you will haveit finished.

"Witch" part of Canada are you located?

Reasonably complete and you will not have to strain to remove the engine.

You are in the right place for help, advice and support.

Now the hunt starts for the missing parts.

Good luck and continue to be patient.

Cheers

Welcome to the family.... You have the basis for a great restoration there... It will be tough and there will be times you will want to chuck in the towel... Stick it through to the end and your reward of driving the thing will be hansome !

Hi Curtis, and welcome aboard!
I agree with the other guys posts, but i,d like to suggest you look at Rick De Bruin's threads, there in Canada. He can do the replacement cut front armour plates for you.
You will learn a lot. Enjoy!
