taking it apart

Dragged inside for the real work to begin.

Gave it a quick paint job for ANZAC day , was part of a deal that got me free crane hire , the local re enactment guys used for ANZAC day , caused a bit more work during the strip down but im on a budget.

Hi Folks , picked this up earlier this year , have since stripped an given it a birthday , now ready for final paint job , will try and post some more pics but it seems to take ages here?

i was able to ring the guy, it seems the vehicle has no means of identification, no plates in the dashboard, and the tag on the front left chassi rail is also gone, all that is left is the engine number, aparently that will tell me nothing as they were not like fords and engines were not recoreded on a master list or linked to the vehicle in any way?

i guess it still has a value but with no history it is realy not that desirable, any other ideas on identification or is this a lost cause?

Hi, i have left the seller a question(its on the nz version of e bay) so hopefulluy i will know the serial number soon and be able to list it here. cheers

Hi Folks, quite an interesting place here and i have only scratched the suface!,im mainly into guns, im thinking quite hard about getting a 40mm bofors to rebuild.im a kiwi, ex armourer, love getting things pulled apart, cleaned up and back together.i just wish i had got into this 25 years ago when the scrap yards sill had plenty of goodies in them.

cheers tim
