it's interesting because i can just make it up as i go along. if i can get it to swim that would be great, as it sits the internal volume is 8 cube but after it's chopped it will be down to 5,5. should still be enough to float
it looks to have been up and running as a demonstrator but was stripped afterward.
the current plan is to get hold of a beefy chassis and big yank diesel with autobox to go under it. i could use a land rover but i want it to be strong. i'm also going to make it amphibious as it's already a sealed steel box so it will float whether you want it to or not! should be an interesting project and will make a welcome change from slavish restoration
i've just bought it and apparently no one really knows what it's original designation was. i was told it might have been a protoype for an iraqi afv contract but it's not certain. i may never find out.
Its waiting its turn, although I do keep messing with it now and then.
I collected the engine from the restorer on Saturday. Unfortunately not because it was finished but because he had changed career paths and can no longer do it.
I will have to find someone else!
there's a nice early churchill hull on lydd range that should be an easy recovery. also a turret in an rspb reserve in leamington spa and i have access to a full set of early track for free. you get the permissions and i will recover them for you
chieftain, cent, t55 all over £50k. don't know leopard values.
sherman, cromwell 175k+
the t34 is a bit of an odd one as they were next to nowt but now make good money 70k+
Nothing happening as the engine guy has got another job working at a college so not sure how h3 wants to proceed.
It's the last real bit of the puzzle i need
