Re: My project.. Airborne Jeep
Time for some more photos.
Last weekend, it was time to go and pick up the Airborne Jeep from Simon's.
Here is the Airborne Jeep getting loaded onto the Jeep trailer. That's me on the Left and Simon behind me. The trailer was designed to take a full size MB, and you can see how much room is left behind the Airborne.
A nice side profile shot. The silver ghost.
Checking for the engine,
Loaded up and ready to roll.
OK, what's the hold up?? Corowa awaits.

Re: My project.. Airborne Jeep
Outstanding! I can only fall in with the positive words about this project. I saw one of these copies years ago, 1984 or 1989, in the Portsmouth area It was nowhere as nicely done as this, though.
