- This StuG with Fahrgestellnumber 90678 was assigned to Sonderverband 288 with three other StuGs and send to Creece, these four StuGs were later send to North Africa, but only three made it after one of them fell of the dock while loading.
In North Africa the three moved out into the dessert with the DAK. One of the StuGs (probably 90678) did some scouting and was quickly chased down by several Bren Carriers, the crew pannicked and abandoned the StuG.
The other two were also abandoned after they ran out of fuel some time in November of 1942.
This StuG and another one was send back to the UK for testing and 90678 ended up in the Pirbright fire range, it was later recoverd by Bob fleming and sold to Kevin Wheatcroft,
it was then traded for a original Schwimmwagen and restored by Jon Phillips.

Wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it!! I've worked restorations ! Am a master fabricator but this is a whole new level!!
Amazing. The skill is so remarkable, I am a little envious.
It feels good seeing these old masterpiece going back to their own shape :)
Kudos for a well done restaration under such conditions. A muddy barnyard can't be optimal for such restauration work. It's quite an impressive result you achieved with a lot of elbow grease and some common tools.
It’s an amazing video of the restoration of StuG III. If was not that we are so sloppy about cleaning up after ourselves, you might not have had the basic parts to work with. In watching video is having the luck of finding, horse-trading and be able to manufacture the parts without a major machine shop at your disposal. Finding the engine and transmission for it was one thing, but find the nickel and dime parts was another. Finding the rubber and wire must have been a quest. All and all it was time well spent to see this video.
What I really liked about your restoration project, it gives us an insight into the manufacturing the building of a German tank and the complexity of doing so.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, nice to see people with the passion to take the time and effort to restore history.
+Backcountry Travels Thank you for your comment.
Beautiful details and professional work. I'm doing a 1: 4 model and this video helped me a lot.
Great to see the restoration of a awesome tank!!!
Wow what amazing nice video about stuG III ausf D and its fast moving and dusts around its lower tanks designs vehicles with fist British anti tank weapon too nice video thanks 👍👍
Absolutely amazing job of work, respect to you.
Those welds are really well done
Thanks for the great video! Can't wait to see more about the Stug III. 😁
+ryan moeller You're Welcome.
+Mick Wilson Please don't spam your video everywhere, its getting a bit annoying and it makes you look desperate.
I was not spamming? its Jon's film, you know the guy that is building the StuG I thought? And to show all the work my mate Jon has put in to this restoration. I am sorry if you think sharing info from the owner of the restoration is classes as spam.
***** that's all great and I got permission from Jon to share this, but sharing info that contributes to this video is also ok, but your video's, sorry to say! they don't show anything new, or contributes anything to this video.
So it's pointless and it only benefits yourself and your monetization.
And I thought some of the restoration projects I’ve tackled were complicated......wow.
great video of a great restoration!!
Thank you mate.
Just think how fast Stugs could be manufactured en masse today with modern tech and CNC. It's amazing that there was only an inch of steel between those guys and rounds coming in from all the various size rounds being lobbed at them. Good job going through the parts, it's a heck of a process going through all that. Have you guys ever used the water and agricultural mollasses trick to get rid of rust, leaving a part soaking in a tub with a.. I think its 10% mollasses 90% water mix for a few weeks? Takes the rust right off.
Amazing work..
Thank you.
Great video! Happy to see that are gonna restore that little tank :)
P.D. It will be cool if you make a video showing all the spots of the "street" tanks that you show on your videos, so we can do your trip also ;)
+Sergio Cv Thank you for your comment and that's a great idea I will do that one time.
I would love to see longer videos more often :)
will do my best buddy.
wow! talk about a basket case, great work people! ☆☆☆
just wow...
Great video,very informative. Thumbs up regardless of the out of place cheesy teeny bopper music at @ 5:40.
Thank you mate and about the music, that's always a problem with copyright and you have to use noncopyrighted music.
awesome job , I would love to come work for you !!! Just to get work on some of that type of stuff ,my background is many years as a tool & die maker and CNC machinist
He had to recreate it, wow. A tank from a firing range wouldn't be my first choice.
fantástico!!
Just curious why such large amounts of the original chassis were cut out, instead of conservation of what seemed to be mostly okay material. No judgment on the restoration itself, just curiosity. Thanks!
Probably because the chassis is to bent and warped to fix that.
I followed the restoration, almost from the beginning. Much of the floor plating was so badly corroded it was crumbling and had to be replaced.
There wasn't much to start with. A true ship of Theseus there.
what is more difficult? restoring a tank or making a replica
did they bead blast all that rust off , or did they just paint it over ?
Takke muziek....
There is no foe the US Armed Forces has opposed that should be considered an unworthy opponent. The German Army in WW1and WW2 were fierce opponents. Kaiser Wilhelm's and Adolph Hitler's Germanys and the Emperor Hirohito's Japan just did not have the US' industrial capabilities. Japanese soldiers had the "no surrender" ideology. The North Koreans were backed by the Chinese military-industrial complex in the Korean Conflict. The Viet
Cong and the NVA really felt they would die for the reunification of their country against the Americans and the French.
I'm not saying they were wrong or right. Just understand the enemy can be just as motivated as you are.
"chased down by several Bren Carriers, the crew panicked and abandoned the StuG" Fierce?
Is this the one rescued from the bog some 10 years ago ?
no.
Panzer Picture Man of few words
I would love to restore a tank... any old tank its my dream, but it costs too much and i dont have time.
More Video bout Resortion Plz！
-1 for the music selections.
17:51 - 52 looks like a face on metal right on middle
I guess PIATs really could work.
Very nice restoration but what is it with the dance music???
Can't place copyrighted music on these videos so have to place something on it.
I understand. Again nice work.
Bonjour

+Thunder check Thunder there is no need for that, he was just treing to be helpfull.
Hard work and attempting the impossible, not dead. Good job.
