Congradulations my friend. It has been really interesting to watch the progress of your rebuild. I have lots of ideas for doing mine when I get to that point.

Now the fun really starts doing all the little minor things to really make the resto job stand out.

Default On the road and looking good...

Well I went for my first trip out of the neighbourhood to a Show and Shine at the A&W. It was the last one of the summer. I managed to get a lot done in the last week. I made the 14 Oct deadline. Here are a couple of pics as she looks now. By no means is it complete but she certaily looks the part.

I want to take time to thank all those who contributed know-how, parts, advice and encouragement. From Australia to Europe to the US and way out in the sticks at the Hammond Barn, thank you all. A special thanks to Mark Tonner for helping me out these past few days with the unit and formation signage.

To all you MLUers THANKS!!!!

I salute the Senior Service - they trained you well. What efficiency. You make the Rotters look downright lazy (OK, it's a given). Speaking for my self, this Rotter is impressed and inspired. Let us know when you are next in Ottawa and we will pop a few tops to celebrate your achievement.

Mike, congrats on the restoration. It is as much a tribute to the men & women who built it originally, as the man who restored it.

Hats off to you, sir!

Hanno

Default Plans

Hi Eric,

Yes I have a copy of the plans. I received them from George MacKenzie. They are his doing and gets all the kudos for such comprehensive and easy to understand work. I will photo copy a set for you. I have not started the tailgate yet but do have one available here to get measurements from. I will make a drawing for you.

Cheers Mike in Snow-banked Windsor
