Taking (another) Plunge

[dmetalmiki]

Ok, so having chewed over a forsaken M35A2 we viewed months ago..(that is one rough 'duck!) I Have though relented..and decided to 'bring it home', give it a good home, and "restore it as needed". Should be a good project (assignment under guidance) for the cadets as well over the winter months..

I've seen worse....****....I've bought worse.

Take it home and give it the love it deserves.

Diamond in the rough , w/ winch and hard top, the boys will enjoy working on that, especially if they can drive it when it's done.

Most enthusiastically agree!! Sure the "cadets" will enjoy the adventure!

That deuce just needs to be cleaned up and painted. It appears to be all there. Hopefully, the drive train is good.

Nothing a good steam-cleaner and sand-blaster cannot fix ! Actually looks to be in pretty good condition. The cadets should have a blast fixing this up. Good hands-on experience.

Truck looks good! It even has the lollipops and the scoop for the heater. Just a bit of TLC and she'll look the prize.

You are MOST welcome, If you decide to come over, And visit our collection here, we would 'pull out' ALL the kit! and you can enjoy the BBQ n Beerz we WILL have ready for you and yours. Stay over a night?. No problem.
And seriously, the cadets and young helpers WOULD REALLY like to meet you, or anyone from steel soldiers.

And on reflection, I would have been at Upper Hayford and Greenham common around then, And that is where the M45 530C came from...small? world.
