hi erik
i've been following your adventure and i'm happy to see your hard work and determination has paid off finally. i've just acquired a mk1 for restoration but i took the easy route and bought it from a dealer, i think your way is the best well done and all the best for the restoration. eddy

Got delivery of my UC yesterday. Must say it was a great moment after years of struggeling getting it home. My primary goal is to get the motor running. Everything seems to be there except for the starter motor.
I started with getting all birchleafs out of the hull. Started digging with my hands and then used a vacumcleaner. Remember, this UC has stood outside since 1950, never been under cover! Found a couple of tracklinks and some more trackpinns in a box on the right side of the engine (Ammobox?). Also found the screwcap for the hole where the starterhandle goes in to.

Found some lettering inside the lid of a box infront of where the gunner sits. As you can see there was a great deal of birchleafs in there. Instruments needs a bit of TLC.

This is how it looks after getting rid of all the leaft, actually really nice. Former owner made a preheater letting hot exhaust through an adaptor between carb and engine and also letting it through a pipe in pipe on the intake. Fuel was also preheated. Last pictures of a couple of extra tracklinks I found.
Canīt find any part of the hull in need of welding or replacing except for the cut away armour and front part of front fenders.

Box where I found tracklinks and pinns. Lid has broken hinges and there was a lot of rust in here.
Please, can anyone help me with an engine parts source. Are engineparts "of the shelf" parts or special for the UC?
