Thought i'd post a few pics of my ?50 owens.
Almost finished the thing.
Wite flowcoat next week and then need to fabricate an anchor and find some life jackets!
Cleaned out under floor and replaced surface.
Today lubed and installed electric shift, powered bucket seats (bit heavy, will make some back to back seats soon), plus other bits.
It starts, it goes into gear both ways and the new seals should keep the water out of the lower gear casing reservoir!
