Nigel Ward had a British MK1 universal carrier shipped over ....... It caused great interest among the MLU crew ....... Wish I had the money to buy it !

Likewise, an easy restoration there (in my opinion)

Carrier arrived home today 0830hrs I had been working nights at te brick layers guild and finished 0700. Consequently I am now a prevernial corpse ! Washed a further two tonne of mud out of the thing. Took it for a spin to blow off the cobwebs before returning home. Will get some fresh paint on the lower hull tomorrow.. Tracks need tensioned but I need to purchase a snail first methinks.

I think the mud will always be there, it got everywhere! I can help with a snail.

Cheers Ben, tried with a bar today but it levers in the wrong direction to tension the tracks if you catch my drift.

Managed to unpack the Go Pro today and string the nightmare of snippets together... Rob what on earth were you doing with the camera hahahaha.

This is a first try so bear with me... There will be an updated version once I have spoken with Shaun.
