[motto]

Good golly Wayne. What are all those holes? They look very recent. Have you been trying something out?

Was it called Snowball because someone said "there aint a snowball in hells chance anyone will restore that"!

Good luck, watching with interest

Compared to some I have seen out this way, Wayne, yours looks almost drivable! Does it still have the engine covers?

Hi Wayne,
Looking forward to seeing more of your project.
All the best with it.

Hi David, this is one of the Firing Range Wrecks I recovered a while ago. It got a quick paint job for use as a backdrop for a photo shoot.
It copped a fair bit of stick from CG 84s and small arms fire for 40 years.
Here is the down range side and the reason it is getting chopped.

Hi Robin, very close... this was the reply from the WO in charge of Ranges when he was first asked about the possibility of recovering one of the targets.

Hi David D, There were at least 16 Staghounds on 2 seperate Firing Ranges here in the West. They have been shot at since the 1970's by everything and most were reduced to piles of twisted metal. Scrappies were contracted to clear the sites.

I purchased a set of early production engine covers on a trip to Corowa in 2013, along with new tyres and a nos transfer case.

Pulled apart the only hub that doesn't have damage. Came apart easy enough and the design is very "Chev".
The hub and brake shoes have very little wear.
