    Default My little turtle build( revision)

    I bought this thing from the Military. This is what it looked like when I brough it home.

    After stripping the inside. And removing everything. I put in a treated wood floor.

    Then started to clean the outside up. Not that much rust at all. Just UGLY..

    More to come...
    The sides and top were corroded due to the battery acid and all splashing
    all over them, So they were replaced with new steel.

    I took it to get some work done to it today. Hopefully have some more pics when I pick it up tomorrow.
    I picked up a Jerry can from a friend . So once I get it back I can start to get it load up. Have the water tank
    to install, and the pump, Stereo.

    I was unable to pick up the trailer today. So I will pick it up on Monday. I can't wait to get it back. It is odd to be pulling in the driveway
    and not see it! Well,well.well. I am not a patient person as I use to be when I was younger.

    Well it has been a crazy week and all. I was finalyy able to get the trailer pichked up today. I had the trailer frame on the right
    side reinforced. Seems like when it had the 4cylinder diesel engine in it they would have reinforced both sides. The fenders are mounted.
    I have a few Nato fuel cans to clean up and respray. Pics to follow.. Gotta go enjoy this nice early spring weather.

    They are welded and secure, all legal to transport now. Well minus 2 amber lights on the front sides.
