Great progress!  I'm looking forward to when I can start rebuilding mine after disassembly.   I've learned a lot from your progress.

Hope between the two having a little dry time

Pending work focuses on the dashboard and windscreen.

Everything is to rebuild except the windscreen, the dashboard received shrapnel, the upper armor is broken and bent.
It is necessary to be mad to restore this pile of scrap.
So this is confimer ........... I'm crazy





There have been tenants
