Looking good, Rich. I should send that photo to the chap at Coonalpyn SA. from whom I bought it. He didn't think it would be good for anything. They have a C60L and the remains of a C15A on the property as well as a D7 Caterpillar dozer from WW2 still working there.

Looking around for a No6. Artillery body for the C60S. Model WO-78.

Might have to borrow your spray gun as well as your workshop before Corowa.

A couple of photos, 3/4 front of yours (Deep Bronze Green) and the 3/4front of mine (MOJO).


Regards Rick

Default Need a hand?

Rick,
Couldn't resist, I note that MOJO had identical mounting holes in the drivers side door, although I cheated and mounted it in the window bracket. Just don't see these around like you used to, kids love 'em.

Thinking of taking it for a drive today, getting very nervous about actually putting it on the road after all these years (13 I think)....what have I forgotten and so on. Very easy to find other little jobs to do to put it off. But the plan always was to roll the wreck in, and drive it out finished, (a'la Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) with no sneaky little test drives while under construction.
Rich.
