FV4005 PROGRESS UPDATE

Jack gives us his progress report on the FV4005 this week.

You need to get Bovington to put a compilation of the restoration video on display with it when it’s all done 😂 Mad amount of detail and Mad workers 👍🏻 Really looking forward to seeing it in action.

I love that the tank museum have hired the most mad cap shed dwelling team to fix the fv.

Always good to see progress on FV4005, im glad its in your hands and I hope bovingdon tank museum commissions you to resurrect more of their unique tanks

You've got a bloody good lad in Jack.He's a machine !!! 😀

[lewiswhite]

That is the most enthusiastic I’ve ever seen Jack! He’s clearly vey proud of his work

[axelusul]

Great to see lads with a genuine love of what they do, being typical "squaddy"/Brits at work but at the core being efficient and professional in what they do. Plus having the odd pint down the pub and taking the piss mercilessly out of each other.

You've been missing for a while Jack, it's easy to see why, you've done a proper job, well done mate! 👏👍👏

I suspect I will never get the chance to visit @thetankmuseum, but if I do I will appreciate even more this unique vehicle thanks to your videos about restoring it. That @tinkeringwithtanks video was very interesting and informative. Jack's work looks phenomenal and if not for videos like this there wouldn't be the opportunity of it even to be recognized except by the couple of folks who would experience pulling the pack. I'm digging that painting. Very nice,

The boozooka plates look mint thanks to Jack.
Well done chaps!!!

Nice one Jack, you have put a load of effort into this project and it shows. I'm looking forward to seeing the final results. Thank you Mr Hewes, for sharing the experience.

David Fletcher’s glorious mustache quivers with anticipation. Great work gents! Enjoy the wine.

From tank hull paint booths and forklift work benches comes great work. Jack is rightly proud - these videos are the record for work people won't see when it's finished. The mark of a proper job is work in depth, regardless of what can be seen. Preserve the history whilst renovating the rest. Champion job. Crack on.

[gregsabo]

Whoever did the reconditioning of the brake shoes and the clutch discs did and incredible job!

[markclifton]

The FV4005 is looking great . Looks like Jacks been hard at work .👍👍👍👍👍👍

[RupertBear]

got to say, Jack is a real grafter! clearly someone who can be trusted to work on his own and work his knackers off

[donaldschmitt]

Ted is a good Dog, reminds me of my dog in high school. Same coloring and same attitude had to make sure I was doing everything the right way. Miss him. Enjoy watching and learning, always wanted my own tank, could use it to straighten out my neighbor.

[mitchellbennis]

Jacks, done a bang up job so far with the painting and getting everything in order. He’s worth his weight in gold, or fish and chips! It’s all coming together, cheers.

[joachim.charleshogg]

Good to see Jack in Top Form - great work guys. Regards.

[brandons]

I tell you the amount of work that Ted forces you guys to do every week is just astronomical! And the quality of work that you guys do is second to none. Ted take it easy on them a little bit, they need a little patience from you. Keep up the great work guys!😊

The term you're looking for with that gearbox is "a dulux rebuild."
