don't worry guys i'll make sure the crane guy is gentle with the old girl and i'll put some timber baulking down so the bogies aren't bent when it's righted, when/if it arrives at my workshop (still only half built) the plan is to ignore it until the carrier and wot6 are sorted only then will the restoration begin, first task is get the karcher on it and give it a good blast with water then i'll be able to see what i'm dealing with, the hull will be stripped of ancillaries inside and out and the holes/damage will be filled and welded then i'll get it sand blasted and primed after that's done it's a case of finding missing or broken parts and assemblies which will take years, not even i think it will be ready in 5 years time so a&e 2012 is out, someone will have to tell jack:-D this will definately be more of a marathon than a sprint but i'll get there in the end.
