GoranWC51 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hiya Richard, and welcome to the friendly forum - but where are the pictures of your WC51? You ALWAYS post lots of pic's of your vehicle here.... =) My WC51 is currently undergoing a full resto in southern Holland and will hopefully be fit for fight this coming spring, in time for the 2014 celebrations.

lionheartuk Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi guys! Sorry for not putting up any photos - here are a few: This is how he came at the end of 2006: Then after some significant elbow grease: He is now used in re-enactments and battles all over the North of the UK: At the moment a repetitive issue with noise from the transfer case is my main issue, but it looks like the support brackets are bent so I am searching for a new pair.
