rusting already Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi, I am restoring a T34/76, a long job, any information and help to find a 76 turret and any parts for a T-34 restoration would be much apprieciated, these as you may understand are not the easiest things to come by so any help, information or contacts would be a god send. Thanks Best Regards Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Alex, any chance of some photos of what you are starting with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusting already Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Here she is, she's not in such a bad way, needs an engine rebuild/swap, at which point I hope to go through it pretty thoroughly. Apart from the turret I'm also in need of some wartime wheels, another part that is easy to come by.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 These firms have been working on T34: http://www.panzerkontor.de/ http://www.ecobioenergybg.com/ and http://www.mortarinvestments.eu/ I think this company had road wheels for T34 a while back http://www.milweb.net/dealers/trader/military_vehicles_poland/ do you by any chance know of any T34 for sale, I have a friend how is looking to buy one, Those that have been forsale lately have been excessively priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 There was a complete running T34/85 set in a play ground behind the Red Lion pub in Bobbington, South Staffs back in the late 90s, however when I visited again a couple of years ago it had been removed, does anyone know where it went?

timbo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Mate that doesnt look like Surrey in the background - is it Yorkshire ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusting already Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi, Sorry about the slow reply! Thanks for all the links, sadly the most likely place for 76 parts to be found will be ex-battle field finds and some possible museum swaps, as most eastern block countries with a supply of parts are from post war 85's. I think today the only way of getting hold of an 'affordable' T-34 wherever it may be from is to track one down and speak with the owner and see if you can come to a deal. I do have a contact that may be able to help but any deal done would be for something that would need a big restoration and it probably wouldn’t be a cheap staring point. And good eye's, yes it was in Yorkshire, a pretty impressive recovery job and one hell of a position on the top of a hill, with the massive plus of friendly pubs all over. Thanks again for your help, if I can help anyone out at all please get in touch. Cheers Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
