RE: Tan Paint Secret And the desert sand Blazers shall inherit the earth and drive the olive drabs asunder MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

RE: Re: RE: Nice mail I was asked by my neighbour if I could start the truck a little quieter, as it was too noisy in the mornings, made excessive smoke and smell. I asked if he could make his 20 chickens, 15 ducks, 12 geese, 6 turkeys, 4 pheasants and 3 pygmy goats a lil quieter, especially...

I'll prob get shot down in flames, but, as far as I know, and I did try taking 1 apart, they're a sealed unit, plastic box with a small circuit board inside, lights are LEDS, the whole thing sealed with some kind of silicon gunk. I suppose it is feaseable to replace them, carefully remove the...

The law is kinda the same 'make it up as you go along' in the UK as well, I got pulled over by a patrol car on the way to a military show, the cop said he wasn't happy about me driving a military police vehicle so close to an army camp (Aldershot, for those that know) I said I was sorry he...

Another desert brother, superb job, beautiful truck medlog

It's the Arabic number eight, painted on all coalition vehicles at the last minute, in transit to the gulf or in theatre. 1001 variations as they were applied with stencils, freehand, masking tape, marker pen, whatever was to hand. The sideways chevrons pointing forward are from UK Op Telic...

Holy buckets, I thought mine had metal termites, in the UK we'd try and repair that, 1. because of the lack of donor vehicles and spares, and 2. because we're slightly mad and like a challenge lmao.

this is what a dedicated repair guy can really do, all depends how far you want to go and how much you want to spend. For years all I did was paint over the rust and patch holes with filler, it got to the stage where the vehicle was either restored or scrapped. Luckily I found someone who loves...

hi Supercharged... Nope, it's not a Dragunov, it's the Romanian copy called a Romak 3, I don't have the money for a real SVD as they're around the £1700 mark. This is the rest of the Iraqi/Russian/Eastern Bloc made collection, and no, they're all deactivated. Hi Maddawg, I was really pleased...

Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and cut out all the rot, I took the piccies, I let my buddy do the cutting and welding. This was the good side.

Hi Kenny... Slightly off topic and hate to be a PITA but do you still have that CUCV shipping data plate. Regards. Mick.

just an example of what's inside, helped me a lot with ordering parts. Sorry only have the one, managed to get it off Ebay a few years ago and you're right, it was a bidding war for it. Hope you're successful with getting one off Kenny.

Hi Supercharged. Had dents in almost the exact same place as yourself, must be a dent magnet zone, my buddy welded on nails and got the worst out with the slide hammer, then gave up and got the filler out, mumbling "SOB PITA POS CUCV" and other varied abbreviations, that's the best we could...

is this the manual you mean

like this one, I did post this yesterday but it vanished off the forum

My CUCV, taken a while to restore it as the parts are kinda rare in the UK. Took off the ariel mounts as I don't have any radio kit, and the wings were rusted through where some putz welded them on before I bought it and never rustproofed them, got rid of the 33x12.5x15 mud terrains for...

Hi Wavetech... thanks for the pictures, excellent, way clearer than mine, I'm pretty sure I can do something with them on the comp. Armada, hi, nope, still no luck with sourcing the decals, or finding out who applied them. I used this photo, enlarged it to just fit a sheet of A4 then printed it...

Hi ace... thanks for the tip, I'll ask around, already emailed Saturn and a few others, just have to see what come up

excellent idea, I'd never have though it that if you hadn't said. I was thinking more along the lines of dealers in the US who may stock them, as they seem to have run out in the UK.

Hi guys... As one door closes another one opens, except this one doesn't have a data plate, does anyone have any idea where I might be able to source one. Many thanks to all those who have given me the inspiration and information to finish the rebuild. Mick.
