Still looking for some 900x20 bargrip tyers, anything considered along as there's no cracks etc. If anything please pm me. Bill.

Would love a mk1 milly tractor unit!

Cheers mate, just have to buy another mv it fits now:-D Bill.

old scrap lorry came in the yard the other day, umongst the clutter in the back was a 10x20 bargrip, looking at it, it looks like its never been on the road?.

bought a new gear box, nothing wrong with the other, just always nice to have a spare one, about 8 days befor the war and peace revival the k9 was on 4 axle jacks and no brakes what so ever so bought all the bits to sort the brakes and got the wheels on in that time, so everything was a rush, but looking underneath the k9 the other day i relised that the brake master cylinder was all rusty, it was bought bran new but ovbiously being cast iron went rusty quick but just forgot to paint it, so painted that, if theres any 900x20 bargrip tyers out there id be very interested, cheers bill.

If the vehichle is complete and hardly missing anything then you haven't got to spend huge amounts, it's only when they missing bit that are valuable, my k9 dosent ow me alot but iif I was going to put 4 bran new tyers on it would cost me nearly a grand, bits like that are what start costing alot

I wouldent want anyone else to restore my vehichles. We all hate dealers right?

It's mad what it all costs but sometimes it's apart of the fun to restore it your self. Bill.

Would love to see it mate

Considering what a Sherman tank project makes now days! A few people said in the 80's you could buy a running project at 8k, now a restored ones worth the best part of 230k? Mad times but ww2 armors going up by the day!

Ww2 armour is the one I love imagine finding a originall panther in a barn ? As you said rick one of the reasons I enjoy and love ww2 armour is the history of it and the era it was in. But finding a carrier project is so hard,that one in noway looked a good start. Bill.

Do They?, some of the projects that has sold on milweb and eBay? I love finding an old barn find ww2 vehichle etc, just seems to have alot more character to it? What's your opinion Bill.

Been looking at another bedford Ql for sale, chassis cab, did they ever have little harvey frost recovery gear on the back during ww2?. As we've got a 1940's little recovery gear in the yard. Cheers bill.

Would it be legal? Bill.

THanks Wally I haven't tried yet, I'll have a go. Bill.

Hi, can anyone tell me were it's been if I give it's chassis number etc? Bill.

Phoned them, there sending me an application form, but there's a long waiting list , it'll be worth the wait tho. Bill.

Lovely pictures mate

THanks caddy! Will give them a call Monday

I was thinking about duxford, how would I ask just ring up? Bill.

Thanks mate will order it.

Hi mark thanks mate! I have storage but not undercover which is a newsence, and we have about 2 hiab lorrys and 10 ton forklift, owning something tracked and that heavy is abit different I must say to the normal military truck, but I do love the cheiftan mbt's I'd like to find someone with the knolage and knows the tanks, and was looking for a 2 way share in one, I have the storage and equipment to work on one, but if I was going to buy one just for myself I think I'll be biting more than I can chew of, it's a shame because my brother ain't a tank lover otherwise I would do it with him but ideally for me to get a cheiftan would be nice if someone wanted half and knew abit about them. Nothing beats the sound of the l60 I must say! Bill.

Thanks John appreciate it mate, I haven't got that sort of money for these big toys yet but with in a year and a bit I will, the armour I love is ww2 British but it's so hard to get and very expensive, but the 60's upwards British armour doesn't make as much and I suppose it would be a start, I'm 18 with my dad and uncle who has a yard for the storage etc so that ain't a problem, ino a chieftain would be punchingabove my weight but out of all the post war tracked armour my favorites the cheiftan or a centurion mbt, but would obviously have to start with something smaller! Haha, thanks for the advice tho everyone appreciate it. Bill.

Thanks mark, and Andy. suppose you have to take in consideration on how big they are etc, thanks for the help! Bill.
