minidaffy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi my name is martin im a pup at 26 and i live in shropshire, i have just been enlisted to help restore my mates 1955 austin K9. She's a rough old girl with a rotted out cab and a knackered deisel engine that was fitted in the 90's By the sound of it its gonna be a bit different though with talk of turning it into a crew cab version!! I know this will probably upset a few......but we like to be different in the shropshire hills! This seems like a good place to be to pick up a bit of knowledge and maybe some spares?? I'l post some photo's up when i get a chance. thanks and please be gentle with me im new to this mititary malarky!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Welcome in from deepest Shropshire (adjacent county, I`m in Staffordshire (North) ) its a shame that the K9 has been mucked about so much, I drove them in Germany when they were new ( 1956-58) They were a very nice and nippy little truck...... dont think that it will nip much with a normally (Knackered) asperated diesel engine. Good luck with the project............. pic`s please, each one is worth a thousand words.This was nothing to do with me......... one of my buddies.
