Hello David that is what I am affraid of,seems that after the secound A2 and 1 M101 a Iltis I told myself this would be it ,but than my wife finds this M 38 and and tells me to buy it, also when paying the guy for the M38 he tells me he knows of 5 other M38A1'S in the same condition sitting in a field not far away and that I could get them all for cheap, now I feel I will need to rescue them also . I am so sick

After restoring this 1985 CDN Iltis I sold it and a not restored M101 trailer to help pay for my addiction,I also vowed to myself to sell no more.

Best thing you ever did, selling the Iltis...

I must agree the Iltis was a money pit that I lost $$$$ on, after purchase and the never ending parts needed to keep it running. I loved driving the M151A2'S while in the military but parts from the US add up fast. It was on the M38 that I failed my first try for my 404's while in the military lol the LT was able to convince the SGT to give me a secound chance to pass the course and I did lol I am hoping the the M38 will be less expensive as parts are more readly avail in Canada and having leads on other M38's not far from home may turn out to be a great help.
