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.

Erik

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

I'd like to see pictures of the carrier in the family swimming pool with molasses, and the unfortunate carrier owner being berated by the missus...

I wonder how long it would take to get from the UK to Sweden? Can it be as bad as visiting Tain (nine hour drive)?

Andy, it's quite a ride because you have to drive far up north of Sweden. From Gothenburg it's about 1000km...
