Hello from sunny Malta.

Post by canniria » Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:22 pm

Hi,

My name is Malcolm, I'm an aircraft mechanic by day and an LJ80 restorer by night. I just bought my first LJ a month ago, just finished tearing it apart last week, and starting the process of stripping down the paint and gunk from the body to expose the rust and rot. The journey seems to be a steep one but I accept the challenge, and am proud to bring this unsung hero back to life. Hope to hear from you ASAP cause I feel alone in this long and beer soaked quest. P.S any info you guys can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks. :thumbup:
