Hi Richard, Do you think the guy who buried it was hoping someone would find it in years to come just to put a smile on there face
 . I reckon it was put there by a carrier restorers missus whilst he was at work just to stop him working on it, either way what nut case would bury it there in the first place??.  either way i hope it will be saved.kev.

Finally I got it home! Pictures will be posted on monday. Filled with snow and frozen soil, it will be stored outside until sping. I donīt have any warm garage to park it in for the moment.
Will consider trade Regards Erik

Sorry for the delay. As you can see itīs a totaly frozen up UC. I know the engine is still in it and I hope the drivetrain is to. Have the steering gear since earlier, steering wheel is broken though. This is a good hull to begin a restoration from or use as a donor. One track is still buried, I may dig it up next summer. Tracks, wheels, sprockets are all in a good condition, no mayor rust. What you see is a lot of frozen soil that looks like heavy rust.

now make a big vat fill it with mollasses and water, submerge the carrier and leave it for a fortnight... then wash rinse and repeat as required
