I am watching these blokes on You Tube while they are overhauling a Grant (I think) tank. While these guys are tearing the suspension apart the commentator mentions that the road wheels are available new.
Besides that, I am astounded at some of the engineering on the tank. The suspension springs were very interesting.
They also did an engine swap. A much later turbo diesel engine was installed. Yep, an engine swap on a tank.
Incredible stuff.

Somehow I caught this movie on hbo or something as a kid and it has engrained itself in me.
I tried teaching multiple dogs to say cornflakes.
I was thinking the armor Lord Humungus wore in Mad Max.
