hello all,
err, not sure where to start, im new to the world of old millitary vehicles, the closest i come is the converted sankey 1ton missile trailer behind my old series 111 landy (civilian). anyway, i found you all by searching t'interweb because ive been trying to find out info on the fordson thames E4, after scouring the internet ive found 4 pics and a very small scrape of info... dissapointing. my reason for asking is that, after clearing a rather large patch of brambles behind a barn for a friend, i have found one of these beasts.. and become somewhat besotted with it. the chassis and running gear appear in vaugely serviceable condition considering its age, however the steel cab is severly rotten. as i have discovered that it is bound for the scrapyard via the gas tourch, i have started to consider the notion of restoring it... not sure if i should?!:???
anyway what id like anyone to tell me if they can is..
any info on the vehicle
opinions on this as a beginers restoration project
the weight of it (i have a new style license and if its over 3.5 tons i cant drive it:-( )
was there any other engine than a V8 fitted
if there's any questions you'd like to ask, feel free
many thanks
