    Paint it black ...rather not!

    Been at it over the last three days stripping the paint off the Ambo, got it nicely flattened for a prime, thinking of taking the body off so I can strip the chassis, repaint it and waxoyl the hell out of it.
    The good news is that as it will be classed as a mobile home it won't have any duty on it when it gets registered ...result go w.a. Finally some sense.

    Been a hardcore three days but finally making headway

    The esbacher (or whatever) heater is coming out to make way for a triple battery set up.
    Although in photo 1 the wee beasties paint looks good it is typical British army brushed on badness.
    It only has a couple of coats which leads me to believe (plus the 23000 km's) that it was a reserve vehicle territorial army maybe, in saying that it would be an expensive bit of kit to give to weekend warriors.
    My house mate also has a 101 Ambo (go figure) that did 40k km's before being cast and was serving with 4 field ambulance prior to its retirement, it worked for a living you can tell by the body work.

    Fair comment but the stretchers weigh 200 kilo plus the mechanism I reckon I will shed 1/2 once I am done, if I keep it a v8 it will never realise any kind of economy as it's a house brick, but in the same breathe this will help some.
