Ye we want to do those kind of videos when we have more time, the challenger is the first in line for full restoration series!!

When i was a kid in the 80s, the chieftain was my favourite tank. I'd really love to see this old beast up and running again and kept as a piece of history. People only think things are historical when almost none of them are left, preserve it for the future.

Get her running propeely, she deserves to be cared for. Good work so far.

I've never worked on a tank before, but when I drop a 'non sticky metal' piece, I ball up a hunk of duck tape sticky side out and put it on a stick. It works. You may wind up with every other piece of trash dropped down there over the years, though. Good work getting those pieces of history running! Love it!

Old US Army 19K here. Great job guys. Such a beautiful beast.

this is the sort of content I am on the internet for, keep it up guys.

I’d love to see more content on the challenger 1, restoring that would be great as there are not that many around. Keep up the good work.

Be careful that you still seem to have the traverse gearbox drive pinion removed so that turret will flop around. Stick with it though you're both doing fine!

I’m tea enjoying you guys get this beast running again keep on going 👏🏼

Finally had the time to watch part 2, great to watch! 👍 I kinda like the idea about the comment on the ‘natural’ camo. Make it running, let everything work smoothly, but leave the exterior as it is. A bit like the Grill Förster camo or Megatron in TF #3 😉 They will never expect what this beast can do 💪

my grandad was in the 10th Hussars during world war 2. He drove a Matilda and a Sherman towards the end of the war. I'd love to see any rebuilds or works you've done with those tanks if you have them. Haven't checked the channel yet to see if you've done anything with them. If not then that would be cool to see.

came across first video by accident really ,was glad when seen this ,great job,knew you would get it going,I'm interested to know how you both got into this & how did you gain the experience of how to work on these :)

Keep it going boys, she's a good old girl and just needs a bit more of that TLC... It would be a crying shame just to let it rot... Good effort so far...

such a fun watch! i hpe you guys fix it up like new ^^

That sound amazing😮

Just found your channel and watched parts 1 & 2. Great content and a step beyond most "will it start" videos of old cars. Get her going properly guys. Also, a little history of who you guys are would be great and how you came to acquire these machines like the Chieftain. Was it yours for the fixing?

that natural camo is quite impressive... just takes a while to get that going on :D

I like how it looks at the moment, though the interior could need some cleaning

Take the tank to the workshop and get the turret to point straight, it should be easier getting in and out of the tank.
