thanks alex, yes I'll try to be there this year (if I get a carburator problem solved.)
I have the inside ready, all painted. the desk is in place for the radio, only need to put the junctionboxes on there spot on the wall. I used some glue to put up some ww2 posters (A4 size) on the wall to get the right atmosfeer. the outside was ready to paint on the mickey mouse camouflage. this took some thinking work to get it right (it has to look good to). ![]() I allso gave it the decals of the 49th west riding (polar bear) division, signal corps attached to the recce regt of this division. this because the recce of this division helped liberating holland (roosendaal,arnhem,amersfoort,utrecht,amsterdam, den haag) as part of the canadian army. see you next time guy's ![]() cheers jaap

You have a truly remarkable vehicle! Your restoration thread is my favorite, and always gives me inspiration to get back to work on mine. Thanks for sharing the photos and congratulations, your vehicle on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 20 in my books.

thanks keith and craig for all the compliments, it is to much
![]() I had to do one more job and that was to put the ladder on the back and done. I had to make the ladder myself so my dad stept in by giving me the iron bars of a old bed from my grand ma. these iron bars where bent on the ends already so I didn't have to do this, only to shorten them to the right length and do some welding to put everything together and it looks like a ladder so mission succes. I have a question about the number Z 4200302 this was the number I found on the petrol tank, but the secont 0 was not clear to be sure it is a 0. can anybody tell me what it can be, if it was a 0 or a 6 or .... (the picture of the tank are on this forum to see the original number.) hope someone can shine a light on this. cheers for now ![]() jaap

![]() My guess would be zero as there dosent appear to be a cross at the centre for a 6 The next number maybe either a 3 or an 8 though Looks as though paint was scraped off at some stage

thanks andrew it is not easy to see what it is, so I hope someone can tell me with what no they started or in what group this no could fall, but thanks anyway.
I had some upholstery work to do with the 2 chairseats in the cab. I had one old springseat from dirk, but these were rusted away nearly. so I strat looking for a replacement springs. Ifound them ad a locale seatshop. they are a littlebit bigger in diameter but work well. I sandblasted the old frame and made a new one for the otherone. Then connected the springs to the frames by ironwire. painted the whole thing with primer and put a pillowcover over it so it is easier to put the kokosmat on top, so the springs not leave a mark in your bummm. ![]() I had bought some nos seatcovers from dirk and it took some time to put them over the seats, but they look very nice and sit like a sofa. Oh here are some pictures of the radio junctionboxes and the interior. cheers jaap
