cheers hnery

sized it up earlier.

removed prop's and disconnected brake lines and hand brake cable....

going to use a forklift to raise the jeeps at the critical moment.

so hopefully next weekend things shall be sorted.


need to put some of the old crap back on the dead anus in order to move it.

then i shall remove the rad, and few parts like that and then its up for grabs.
