Anchorage "Sportsman"
« on: March 30, 2018, 04:20:01 PM »
Currently "under restoration" although work is stalled at present.
Particularly I have two conundrums
a) a mis-match between the engine and gearbox

b) steering mechanism missing some parts

What a fantastic project, There are several people on this site who may be able to assist, though you appear to be doing very well.

Had another go at trying to work out the gearbox and engine mis-match ...

Still failing to sort it out ...

oh I should add
And it looks like the recent tidying up has resulted in some lost broken bits off the exhaust ... they were there, and they fitted
