BTR-60 restoration

[ACBMWM#]

I just recently purchased a BTR-60 that needs a little TLC.
Everything is actually in really great shape minus the interior. Anybody have experience with these?
Exterior needs some paint but the interior needs electronics, paint, all that kind of stuff.
It is in working order and runs and drives.
Anybody know any state side places that can supply parts etc...?

Jeff, I've already pestered him about the show with the LVS, our HEMTT needs something to mate with!

Looks like I gotta ship parts from the UK
There are pretty much none of these in the US it seems. At least non people want to give me parts off of.

is it a russian BTR or the Ukranian/Check/ Warsaw pact copies ect.

The only place I know of off hand is the russian tank place in the UK

Actual BTR made in 1975, not a TAB-71. I have a few places in the UK that I work with when I purchase MV's from them. I was just hoping to avoid that. Maybe I will buy a Tatra I have been eying and full the back with spare parts!
