hi fella's
with regard to the transmission it's not just a cost issue, the churchill's a real dog and no mistake and to try to restore it back to original spec would take more money and time than i'll ever have and to be honest is probably beyond my ability, i simply think it's more realistic to get it externally correct and moving under it's own steam for people to see and enjoy, rest assured that nothing will be butchered in the hull or anywhere else on it and should the day come when i part with it the new owner will be able to easily rip out my bodge and fit their own. however having said all that i might change my mind and fit something more original i was also thinking of using the correct gearbox and a rolls royce eagle engine from withams, i also have access to original recon boxes and engines but like i said earlier i don't envisage carrying out that kind of resto. we'll just have to wait and see but don't forget i'm builder from manchester not a professional military vehicle restorer all i can promise is i'll do my best.
