Stag 2 - The Arrival....

So after several months at sea the Staghound from San Francisco has arrived, It was quite an exciting moment opening the doors having packed everything the other end. Still not had that much time to asses exactly what is and is not there, but one thing for sure is that it will be a much easier restoration job than Stag 1.

Unpacking it was a relative pleasure considering it was much cooler than when I packed it in San Francisco!!!! I have to say the whole experience has been pretty fun and would recommend it to anyone who has the appetite!




Staghound Number 1

Meanwhile the hunt for parts for staghound number 1 made a significant leap forward with the discovery of a lower half of a hull in AUS, this will now make the project very viable! Axles have been scourced, still on the hunt for a set of wheels. Still not sure yet what the fate of Stag 1 will be, it might become a Command Stag........


Staghound Number 2

Having attended an auction over the summer on the hunt for parts for the stag project, I ended up purchasing a second and more complete Staghound. I had to go back to the US to disassemble it  for shipping, a challenge when it was very hot and the parts are very heavy to lift on your own. Any way after much sweat, it went in the container and was on its ways home.
