38FG93

[Bigdon1981]

Good evening!

I hope everyone is well, I’ve not been on for ages due to loads of other things! 19FM37 is in good health although only doing 100miles or so a year.

Anyway, I have just bought 38FG93, a 1969 series 2a Lightweight, to keep 19FM37 company.
Needs a full rebuild, bulkhead, vent panel, chassis, the lot, currently sporting a very seized v8, square tyres, a truck cab and one piece screen.
Has been off the road since 1992 and for the most part has been sat in a hedge.
Have got my RAF 110 in bits for a chassis and paint job at the moment so will be making a start once that’s done ( maybe a Suzuki samurai before too)
I am sure I will be after advice with it as it’s pretty early, missing loads of original bits too
Hopefully enclosed a pic of current progress on the 110!
Picks of the new addition to follow

Looks good!
Have now got the B card, shows it was with 16 and 12 Royal Artillery until 72 then Ashchurch until sold.
Was in Northern Ireland for a little bit until Ashchurch, 12 months ish before 19FM37 went out there .All being well im collecting next week, got to pin a friend down with his trailer! More pics will follow once I’ve got her here!

Cheers

Hi all,
She has arrived
Chassis, bulkhead and vent panel are rotten as I thought, tyres were inflated when I went to see it a couple of weeks back, 3 still are…. One exploded just after I winched it out luckily I took 4 wheels and tyres, hammers etc.
Doors are custom made, really not great! One side has had the upper side cut so it fits
Brakes weren’t seized
Served with 16 and 12 Royal artillery until 1972 and is number 700.
Got to finish the 110 now and then the fun begins!

Cheers

Has arrived!

Lots of rotten bits, bulhead, vent panel, chassis all as expected!
Tyres were inflated 2 weeks ago… one exploded when i winched it out ringing ears for a while!
Got to finish the 110 now, then she can be squeezed in the garage!
