sirhc Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They are horrible, but I wish my Scimitar hull was as complete as these when I bought it! They will make about £3k scrap. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 PD Thanks for posting that youtube Vid. The first thing that came to mind was that these would be excelent candidates for those that like to play WWII to build VisMods on as they're too rough for anyone (on that side of the pond) to consider for a restoration project. If they were chopped up to make faux Pz.IIs, there wouldn't be any real loss there. It would probably be a better fate then if they were melted down into Coke cans.......

sirhc Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They are perfectly viable projects, just a lot of time and money is required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antar Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Your choice of music certainly matches the vehicles ..... sCRAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They are perfectly viable projects, just a lot of time and money is required! True that! Then again, anything is restorable if one has deep enough pockets :cool2: . From my perspective given the out of this world pricing on armor over here (USA), those don't seem like all that bad of a deal. I've worked with worse. But I also think that if someone wants to buy a tracked vehicle to use as a base for a non resto project, then these machines would (also) be excelent candidates for that as well. I'm not going to post anymore on this thread as I feel it is becoming a bad influence on me ..... Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them look to be very good internally, they have had bits removed and then sat around for a few years, but lets face it these have not been shot up on a range for the last 5 decades! The trick is simply getting hold of all the bits, but you could be running and driving pretty quickly, and lets face it the bits will turn up sooner or later. I have paid A LOT more for a much worse condition, albeit complete Belgian Scimitar...which is now patiently waiting its turn.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
