Default V100 Restoration Project
Hello everyone. I've been watching this site for many months and I'm way overdue in introducing myself and sharing information on my project V100. If there's interest, I've got tons of pictures that I'd be happy to post.

OK, here are some pictures of the hulk/hull. There's some serious damage that required a lot of cutting and welding. There was a 120mm impact to the front right quarter and a dozen or so 25mm entry and exit wounds that played havoc with the brittle Cad-Aloy armor plate. What a mess!

Cool, yet another V100 being brought back to life!! And an early dual side-window one at that. Looks like she took a beating on the range, but repairable. It pains me to think of these being used as targets.
Welcome to the site Derrick, keep us posted on your progress. More pictures!

Cheers

Here's a shot after sand blasting. Looks much better. Now it's time to dye trace all the cracks in the armor and start cutting!
