  • The best documented M3 Grant overhaul in history. Incredibly fascinating history and a wealth of knowledge for other reenactors. Polish tankers also served on these tanks. Kind regards.

    The tank is more than 80 years old, yet the bearings, final drive and transmission gears are perfect, as if they were made yesterday. We need to pay tribute to the people that designed, machined and build them. What an incredible job they did.

    “…these are wear washers..” “Do they come out in the full moon?” 😂😂 Great restoration, thanks for the full movie 👍
  • @garycharland3018
    I've said this before and it's worth saying again. You people are just amazing. What you do to fix this collection of junk is necessary and so cool. Thanks again for all you do.

    Somewhere there’s a 105 year old screaming at their phone “you can’t put the traverse mechanism in before the gun”

    Dear guys, This Australian WWII M3 Grant Tank is absolutely beautiful restored and this project was done with a lot of love, a great precision and eye for every detail. Everybody can see with how much dedication this restoration is done so I’m very very impressed. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
  • That was extremely satisfying ! Seeing the expertise of assembly was great, but the effort during the tear down was inspiring ! Good job guys ! Thanks for posting this on your channel !
  • @tdb7992
    I'm sitting here building a Lego Concorde whilst you guys are putting together a WWII M3 Grant with Australian specifications. I'm guessing yours is slightly more difficult than my build!
  • @bkizers
    As a retired master mechanic I totally enjoyed watching your rebuild. It must give you great pride and many bumps and bruises. Great job A+ Vietnam Veteran
  • I wasn't expecting a 1.5 hour video drop, but its interesting to see all the segments as one doco

    What a transformation !. You guys must have such a sense of satisfaction. Spending a year of your lives turning a wreck into a running machine that will bring enjoy to thousands. We are not worthy. Cheers from Blighty.
