Looks too nice to restore.  What paint did you use on the chassis?

Nice Workshop Rick.

Have you decided to restore back to camo scheme or olive drab?

Hi there Rick

That one very nice workshop - and top effort on the chassis clean up (many hours of work there)

I do love the names some of these vehicles have been badged by previous military personal - eg trust me written under the bonnet "priceless"

All the best

Give consideration to "Trust Me" being a radio call sign. I'm not up on all the different markings etc, but when I was stripping the paint off my WKSP 109 it had "Tassie Devil" stenciled along the outer wings, it was attached to 2Cav, and that was it's call sign, cheers Dennis

Thanks for the replies. Juddy it is protec 342-1166 camouflage green i got it from protec at minto. Thanks  Dennis it will be interesting when i start stripping the panels. Wayne i am going to leave the stencils on the workshop and Tommy i am thinking of olive drab but i may change my mind. Master chief i hope it looks as good as yours, i have started on the springs and diffs. The thing about the workshop is when you take it apart most of the time you can reuse the parts unlike millie my series 3 GS. Most of the parts i took off her had to be replaced, i have put her down the back shed and will get back to her when i finish the 2A. The 6 cly motor for Millie is in getting a rebuild ($$$$) i told the mechanic not to rush. Well thanks again for all the replys
Cheers Rick
