Thanks Aj and Mike. The ammo box is good news for the museum, i hope that in the near future we may have the Polsten to go with it. There is a picture of the Polsten in above thread which is still laying in a paddock
Need to pick your brains again lads, are the following photos original to the Cab 12 or are they a farmers handy work?

Have started to do the cluster which is coming up well. It will only serve as a cosmetic feature as i will be putting in modern gauges. Have sent the generator away to be changed to 12 volt as this seems to be the general recommendation so all globes will have to be changed as well.

Have been given a speedo needle to replace the one i put in a safe place and now cant find

I don't think they are original. Looks like you need the parts book for the F60L. I have a spare!

Hi all.

A massive weekend and im happy to say we have saved quiet a few fantastic items. The photos never show the huge effort, cuts, and sweat but believe me it took a lot of work to save these and they are now in safe hands. This was all done with only three people Hugh, Ryan and myself on the first day and the help of a crane on the second.

My only fourth time driving on my MR license and am over the moon im towing a WW2 tank.

All the items you see are for sale except the Hino that im in and the navy gun mount so if you want to buy let me know. Cheers Shane

Believe me i would rather it not go to anyone else but Colin.
For one we know it would get restored, it would be undercover and a lot of us would get the pleasure of seeing his amazing work. However the price is $25,000 and the owner already has an offer at the asking price but where are you going to get the chance to buy another. Just for the lovers of tanks here are some more photos...

This is the only good part left on this truck but we brought it back anyway.

Has this Valentine tank sold or is it still available? I have a friend in geelong looking for a tank to buy and this fits the bill. Is Shane or anyone else able to tell me please?
