There's a real nice guy in Perth called Catsteve who has been doing a fantastic restore on his D2, so don't be afraid to ask questions here as you go along, he's a lot smarter than me, restoring old Cats is simply a matter of asset relocation, the main asset relocated is principally cash from your bank account into the bank account of others, usually Cat parts suppliers, plus a little sanity and skin will get relocated along the way too, just go slowly and safely!😆
What do you need to do to her, I finished a D2 5U last May and am still working on a D2 4U right now, it's getting a complete fender to fender rebuild, it usually takes longer, and costs more than you originally budget, or tell your wife!😆

G/day Mike
I told my wife this was her machine. I am lucky because I work for the Cat dealer here in WA, so can chase down parts & a lot of them are availible off the shelf, just ordered a heap of parts for the starting engine & all were in Australia
