Turns out my carrier is a MkI carrier but I'm doing the facelift to it. A picture of the MkI before and after the facelift is in the carrier book and a chap from the MLU forum said since I was well along on the MkI carrier I should do the facelift version here are pics of the start of the facelift

Update:
I finally got some more work done on my carrier. With all the other projects I have on the go I kind of fell behind on this carrier. Here I have installed the forward bren and mount, added the dash, added the rear stowage bin, added the dual rifle rack, added the anit-aircraft bren mount and gun, added the spare bren and mount to the side wall of the carrier, and finally started on the 2 rear fuel tanks. Here are the pics

Outstanding job Pzwest.  Fantastic attention to detail.

Do you think you could do anything with this.

Looks like a T16 or a Windsor carrier. Sure just drop it off in my driveway and sign the ownership over to me ..... LOL ;D
