M38a1 CDN2 - Winter Project

[Wayne Hingley]

I have been putting a few miles on the jeep after getting it inspected and registered. Interesting to note it has never been registered in any province since leaving service in 1987.

I live about 7km from the nearest pavement, which makes it hard to keep the dust off everything... so it shows that it's getting some use (and as Phil notes; a few scratches too).

I was planning to take the Jeep in to the Calgary Military Museum for Remembrance Day services, but due to the recent snow, the highways were very messy with salt and grime. Unfortunately I had to cancel.

So instead, I took the Jeep out for a drive around the local neighbourhood. It was a nice day for a drive.

That looks awesome Wayne! Is this considered closure to start the M37 now?

[Wayne Hingley]

Thanks Pete. This one is close to complete. I still have a couple of small things to finish off.

The M37 is covered in snow, and I doubt it will get any attention before spring. I have been rounding up a few of the parts I'm going to need. Lately I have been playing around with a 318 radio shelter (slide-in) that I plan to put in the back of the M37.

We have been having some very nice sunny winter days lately. It was time to give the Jeep a bit of exercise. Nice little run around the neighbourhood.
