Before Restoration

When I bought it in 2004, it was soft top with a messy soft top with it's original back ambulance doors still remaining, with wrong leaf springs and many other troubles.

This is how it looked before the major restoration, but some restoration was already done, including the suspension by the time this photo was taken (photo by Kalika(c) :) )

Restoration Project

Did a restoration project to get it to this condition. Major part of it was done from October 2004 to September 2005. But the restoration is still going on !

This is the main part of the restoration project (which took around 1 year), with the hero's at Waulagala Baddegama: Tusitha, Lal & Tilak in action.

Getting into shape !!
