Default Wanted:Bren gun carrier wreck

I need a carrier which is too far gone to be restored. I need a basic hull with no armor, has tracks and sprockets/road wheels and rear end. Motor and or tranny need not be there. I don't want to destroy a good carrier or a potential for restoration because I'm not making a carrier out of it.

If anyone has anything like this they want to sell, please contact me.

I'm going to build a Panzer Mk 1 out of it. That's why I'm not concerend with original motor, etc, and I don't want to cut up a good carrier.

Default Mk 1 panzer

Hi John,
Where in the world are you sitting. I have pics of a Mk 2 under construction here in the West (Hey! Try buying a real one) built from carrier wrecks joined together, covered wheels, offset motor etc. Looks the part so far...

Wayne-I'm in Ontario, Canada. Sounds like you're doing quite a job of it!

Default Carrier to Panzer

Hello Wayne - would you by any chance know or am able to obtain the details of the Carriers being used for this project to enter on my Carrier D/Base. The images would be good as well.
Thanks - Bob

Default Pics on the way

The carrier/panzer is not my doing, it is a current project by our local nazis. They also built a skf 222 out of a dead Ferret.
As I don't post pics an email is headed your way.
The carrier hulls are already listed on G. Stephens register.

I don't know if this would sweeten the pot any, but I do have a nicely restored M101 trailer I could use in a trade for a carrier wreck.

Hey -
Don't talk about pictures, show them!
You'd be surprised what's in my backyard if you can spark my interest.

Default Bren Carrier Wreck

I have a bunch of hulls that will be coming up for sale in the spring - my re-enactors group purchased ten of them from a collector in Alberta. Pics available if interested.Email Me There will also be parts and track links available once we get started on our restoration efforts.

Thank you to those who replied with carrier wrecks for sale. Most of you lived too far away for shipping to be practical. I managed to pick up a wreck today and I can start the project tomorrow.
