Hello Sir, Don't know about that Phil, She's coming together slowly. We were worried about sandblasting the gearbox, steering box and transfercase incase the sand damaged the oilseals or sand got inside any of the casings, so thats why we used the wire wheel which seems to take forever ! Hopefully all the primered parts will be olive drab by Sunday.

Hi Phil, I used patio cleaner in the end to clean the washers, there was about 80 altogether. once they had been soaked for a couple of hours I just washed them in water then used a wire brush then primered them. Waiting on sleeving for the airlines at the moment which I hope will arrive this week.

Hi Chris, I know you will probably prefer to make your own rear armour but as far as I know BAIV.nl make a rear section in 1/4 plate for an M16, I know it is expensive but from what I can see its made up of 14 pieces of steel. Hope this is of some help.

Really enjoying this restoration Chris, keep the photos coming !

Well done Sam, great restoration and what fantastic skills you have ! Cant wait to see her at shows next year.

Fantastic work Sam !

Hi Pete I will check the paint colour/ shade with the other prop flanges next time Regards Jonny Garwood

Hi Is there much left of the airfield ? Regards Jonny Garwood

Hi, when you said your 43MB was photographed at Fersfield I must admit I had never heard of the place so I googled its airfield history also looking on a map I couldn't believe how close it is to Thorpe Abbotts, Eye and Tibenham, having driven past Thorpe Abbotts many times. Its nice you have history with your jeep. Regards Jonny Garwood

Nice jeep, where was the photo taken ?
