New Carrier Project (Halifax)

[Flyingtanker]

Hi Everyone,
I have been lucky enough to come across and acquire a MK1. It arrives at my house on Canada Day, a good way to celebrate, I would say

What I know about it so far is that the bottom hull is in good shape with all the suspension. The Engine and transmission are disconnected and inside the vehicle and in working condition.

It is however missing all of the top armour, fenders, panels and I am sure anything that was attached to them. From what I have read thus far it sounds all too common.

A little about myself, I am a big history buff. I am currently in the forces as aircrew on the Sea Kings. I also spent 11 years in the armoured corp, as 8 CH and Dragoon, on M113's and Leopards. Hoping the track experience will help although judging by the Australian manual I picked up it is very unique.

This Forum looks to be a good place to ask for advice and discuss restoration projects of this sort. I look forward to getting to know you all.
