Default Bathurst Carrier

Hi Matt, Looks like a Met gas carrier,to me Going by the angle steel in the back lower corners and on the ledge at the rear, also the angle where the engine cover sits and the small square plate welded just below the hole,and where the front of the drivers compartment was joined to the rear section, the flat plate covering this joint is spot welded, and is much wider than a plate fitted in this area to the other makers, also the front leading edge has a bevel on it , ,missing on the other makers, Nice find did you get any other pics, Regards Ron

I saw the same carrier. By the look of the colour, I reckon it was an ex telecom or a GT model
