    I found this in the Middle East section. This guy has done a remarkable job of restoring a once forgotten/neglected 348.

    It is in chronological order, so it might make more sense to start reading from the bottom and working your way up to the top.

    One of my favourite parts, specifically the last sentence.

    Also, under the bottom right corner of the picture, there is a link that says "View all 24 images"....be sure to click on that, there are 24 pictures in there, some "before and after pics".

    I really commend this guy for the work he is doing on this 348.

    My pleasure. Enjoy. I just read it all...the guy even has a sense of humour, which makes reading it that much more enjoyable.

    Great story, too bad there is so few pictures to go along with it.

    Gotta hate those guys who let such machines abandoned. and kudos to the savior !

    GREAT READ!!! :D :D :D

    It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me, ranging from...

    Amusement:


    To horror:


    Back to amusement:


    To joy:


    To hysterics:


    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant article - thanks again for the link! :D

    I wonder if there are going to be any more updates for it. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    So far no updates here.

    I tried to find a contact for him but so far no such luck. I also tried to post a comment, but it has to be "approved" by their moderator.
