got the carrier back home today, rolled it back into the shed ready for engine and gearbox. Will sort out the steering and brakes first as Im not too keen on contorting whilst setting up the steering cam freeplay etc with the engine in. Couple of photos. My wife was off work sick today, I think my comment of "your feeling sick cos your too excited about the carrier coming home'' was appreciated, she likes the colour tho.

the bottom of both fuel tanks had seen better days, I got some new steel welded in sealed up with solder and will seal the inside to make them last another 70 years hopefullly, yours truly on the soldering bolt. Also have started on radiator repairs, the bottom pipes had got a bit rusty so turned up some new ones on the lathe at work and have welded them on.
