Thread: project bruno

right now you are perhaps starting to think- what have I done,
but it's all good, looks like a good set of bones, not too many bad dents, repair or replace the front bar, work out how far you want to go with getting her , or Bruno is a him, him going.
do you want to have a show piece? or a running truck to get out and have fun in?
I think the roof and sides are interesting and perhaps they should be saved, although not genuine, they are aussie lr history and probably a bit rare.
I look forward to seeing this come back to life.

Beautiful find looking forward to the progress. To answer your question earlier. If i understand correctly vertical lamps were mostly on military wings and horizontal on civilian. Although, this may not be entirely correct.

+1 A very good decision indeed.

thanks for that i thought it might have been military guards the left guard has holes where I think a shovel or axe might have been mounted and I aim to completely restore Bruno to use as an everyday vehicle and have fun with

Your body looks pretty good all round. Mine looks like it's been fighting with a panther.

Wait till you start pulling her apart... and she doesn't want to be

Nice , well done the more of us that are restoring the better off we all are!

Is this A diesel? I think it was the one for sale for a while I considered buying it, it's solid and complete so will be a great resto.

Looking forward to seeing the progress! Enjoy

yes jb it has a diesel in it but was originally a 2.25 petrol the po swapped them out. I was amazed that the chassis is so rust free even the baulkhead has very little rust too. im time poor so it will be a slow resto so please be patient lol
