More to the point , has anyone removed the cyliner head of a diesel engine that they have laid up outside subject to elements (damp air past exhaust / air filter) - and found rust on bores , corroded piston rings etc. ? If so - how many years had it been laid up for ?

Some of the milstds talk about preservation by spraying the cylinders with a special oil if left idle

(Buick V6 in Jeep)

what model Jeep?

This thread is an eye opener to what is getting dug up http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=329122&page=60

I just read page 60 back to 30

Set up a viewing stand and wine tasting event a safe distance away

I'd volunteer for this.....:cool2:

I hope building the museum will be a thread

Best of luck

Looking forward to seeing your turret :cool2:

hadnt seen this page before

Was the corrosion more aggressive in this area on the old tank?

If so I would recommend coating it, the pipe that is

Looking good...very good

I would be nice to have a ship restoration thread :cool2:

Thats good to know.....i like to keep an eye out for stuff like that as seen a few times sellers with cast wheels not knowing they are for armour

really nice job.... and quick

Slow day in the office today, so been surfing Gumtree

- Cast wheel with rubber on it (Armour????). Weird Jerry can with star on it http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/howard-springs/other-antiques-art-collectables/variety-of-antiques-collectables-from-50/1121072873

- Japanese officers sword http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/wellington-point/collectables/ww2-japanese-officers-sword/1123852270 There was lots of these in Aussie when I was a kid but I heard they go for big prices for Japanese collectors

Looks the same....... also looked at one point it got a gutful of mud down the drivers hatch. Nice mess to clean up

Well half buried

Strange to see the planks across the cab roof top, maybe there to stow cam nets etc.

I wonder if they put the wood across the roof to cool the cabs down. To this day in Malaysia you can still see trucks they've ripped the roofs off and put wooden ones on.

Now I remember what the REME letters really represented .....

The Australian equivalent RAEME is colloquially refereed to as Royal Australian Easy Money Earners

I went from RAA to RAEME and there was a distinct difference :-D

Great pictures, thanks for sharing

An auspicious start...... covered in mold and grime
