THE SICK BAY

[westyfreak]

Hi all - just thought i'd show you a few photos of our new plaything. The Sick Bay is a 1972 Maltese Red Cross Ambulance that has been off the road since 1988. Don't really have any before shots but here's a few of the work in progress..............

should be welded and MOT'd by the end of the week - hopefully have it all ready for the Cornwall Jamboree

will get some better pics as soon as I can

cheers Shaun
