🎄🎄I wish you all a merry Christmas you are doing a great job top From 1942 to 1945 my father drove a Tiger as a gunner in Russia, when the war was over he had to be taken prisoner in Russia and survived 5 in Siberia. He was born in 1924 best regards from Vienna Günter
You read my bloody mind. Driving her to work at the Marine Corps Logistics Base would be a hoot. Our depot maintenance chaps would drool over a Kubelwagen and pay homage to the massive amount of work to make her run again. They do some pretty impressive things with combat damaged gear but nothing on the order of this masterpiece of restoration. Great job on the things you are working on and Merry Christmas.
I'm glad Kurt was able to join the first line welders. Maybe you can get other staff and volunteers to be listed as second line welders if you list the restoration team on a rebuild.
It's wonderful that besides the actual vehicles themselves, we have the filming of a general overview of the restorations for posterity. Keep up the good work and I hope to one day come see them for myself.
At 5:41 Kurt said "We aren't a huge workshop with limitless tools available." Even so, I drool over the gear you guys do have. Kurt having a go at stick welding: You did pretty good - did you rehearse or do stick welding before? If not, you must be a natural welder. It took me a LOT longer to master the technique of starting an arc, and my first welds looked really ugly.
Merry Christmas to you all. You’ve deserved a well-earned break. You’ve been the find of the year for me and I can’t thank you enough for all the videos of the works in progress and of all the restored pieces at the museum. Thanks for the bit of history of the Stug III. Just to know it was part of the Kurland Pocket defence is hugely satisfying. Cheers.
Hello James, "find of the year" says it all! I totally agree with you. This channel is really unique for me. I wish you and your family a healthy and great christmas. Greetings from Germany.
Yay! It's the first day of Summer there in Aussie Land. Boo! It's the first day of winter here. Merry Christmas to the whole crew. Be safe and we'll see you when you return.
In 1975 I rented a Volkswagon Thing for a Day of Shopping in Denver, Colorado. What a "Rattle Trap"! When we got home I set the "Hand Brake" and the Button Shot out of the handle and Bounced off of the Dash. All that I can say is that it was an "Experience" that I was Glad to Do Once in my Life!
Running or just a static display, so much work goes into these babies behind the scenes that I tip my hat to all the guys & gals that make it possible. 👍❤💯% from USA
As always another brilliant episode Kurt and team. It’s been great to watch the quality of the videos increase over the past few months. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you and all the hard working crew at Aus Armour from South Australia.
Thanks for a wonderful 2021, I have always been fascinated by WWII German armor. Your rebuilds and explanations are truly superb. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
Kurts first bead , from what I saw, didn't look too bad at all. Nice work, Kurt! (Next, lets see him run a couple overhead, while wearing shorts.) 👨🏭🤬🤣Wishing a Merry Christmas, and a safe, happy, and healthy New Year, to everyone on the Aus Armour team. As well as to all those who support the channel. Sent from Denver, with love!
Merry Christmas to all at the AusArmour. Thanks for providing us with these regular and informative updates on the immense amount of work that goes into the incredible work that you do.
Kolejny ciekawy odcinek. Ciekawy jest fakt, że w Australii rekonstruujecie niemieckie koty 😁. Kibicuję Wam z Polski i również życzę całej ekipie wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji świąt Bożego Narodzenia no i szczęśliwego nowego roku😀🎉🎉.
Mentioned to the missus that I want to come down the hill and 'help' when I retire (in a couple of years).. Copped an earful... Don't spose you can move the museum up the hill so I can still have a home to go to? Love your work, AFVs have been a great interest of mine since I was a kid... Carried plenty, drove only a few... The German vehicles were decades ahead of their time..
Just started watching these videos and enjoying all the progress on all the projects you've got going. Kurt, you did some pretty good welds on the Stug. Especially if you've never welded armor plate before. Besides, you have to actually build up the weld beads with multiple passes to fill the seams. But good on you for starting it for Beau.
Thanks to all concerned in producing these fantastic videos. Have a fantastic Christmas all and wish everyone at TAAAM a Happy, safe and productive 2022
Love this channel! It's amazing to see what you guys can do with heaps of junk covered in decades of neglect. I am adding this museum to my bucket list of destinations for sure. Could you possibly tell a little bit more of the history of the Goliath please. In one of the videos you mentioned they were remote controlled. Can you tell us a bit more about that?
Thanks guys, really enjoy seeing what goes into these restorations. Welding in the tropics, you can keep that though! Can't wait to get up there and check it all out!
Merry Christmas to all of you guys! I look forward to your 2022 videos. Also, I liked seeing the piece that was left on the suspension strut for turning the bearing races -- the place I retired from overhauled aircraft landing gear (among other things) and there were gear that we _really_ wish that the manufacturing centers had not been ground off during the original finishing processes, which made repairs very difficult and much more expensive!
Merry Christmas to all of you Blokes and Shelias at the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum, all the best in 2022, can't wait to see the progress on the existing projects and what ever up coming projects you have in store for us. Cheers Mates!
I saw a kubelwagen is Yemen about ten years ago complete with the balkenkreuz. It was parked randomly on the street. I also saw a VB bar fridge in the market. Sana'a was a weird place.
Thank you for all your time and effort in making the videos in 2021. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Can’t wait to see what 2022 will bring for all your projects.
Absolutely love your videos and find them educational and entertaining. Thank you so much to all the boys and have a great Christmas and New Year from sunny England.
LOVE you wor work guys and gals... great video, great achievements throughout the year and we are pretty keen to see the developments in 2022! Merry Christmas to all and wishing you the very best for 2022 and onwards.
When I was in the army I saw a Goliath. And we used explosives. Most books say it can carry a lot of explosives (60/100Kg), but you won't put more than 10Kg inside. However it can carry a 100 Kg man for sure. Merry Christmas Ausarmor
Hey guys, great job as every time. If it is possible, can you make an episode or give us some informations of your hunt for the missing parts. Seems to me as a really hard and everlasting job. Can't wait for the next episode in 2022. Happy Christmas for everyone. P.S.: Make that Jagdpanther a runner! ✌😎
Those trafficators are better than most of the so-called front indicators and side repeaters on the majority of cars and light trucks built in the last 10-15 years.
This is my number one channel of the year, don't change anything, you guys are perfect. Love your work!
21:55 That's a hell of a good first try at stick welding! You're a natural!

Gday, merry Christmas to everyone at ausarmour! Have a happy break.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and here's hoping that 2022 finds us all happier, healthier, and more in love with life than ever!
Well said.

Kurt also had a superb teacher, so don't be so hard on yourself ;)
Top quality video! Great balance of narration, shop noises, and detail shots. Thanks for the entertainment.
A schwimmwagen would be cool, maybe one day you might find one! The kubelwagen and a VW Thing look like brothers, wonder why?
Adolf knows why
Bloody ell, Kurt is a natural welder. Merry Christmas folks, awesome videos.
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the great videos this year.
Reminds me of the tank shop where I volunteered. Our chief mechanic was top notch. Merry Christmas to all. Thank you for all that you do!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year mates. To the build teams, great work.

Germans called them "kubels," and they were much loved by the troops. Glad you brought yours back to life.
Wow Al has done an awesome job on the Kubelwagon
Next the Swimwagon 😂
Running or just a static display, so much work goes into these babies behind the scenes that I tip my hat to all the guys & gals that make it possible. 👍❤💯% from USA

21:05 I was waiting for the screams as Kurt started welding in shorts.
Happy Christmas from Canada
Thanks for a wonderful 2021, I have always been fascinated by WWII German armor. Your rebuilds and explanations are truly superb. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

I absolutely love the side blinkers! Reminds me of my parents car when I was a child!
Merry Christmas to all at the AusArmour. Thanks for providing us with these regular and informative updates on the immense amount of work that goes into the incredible work that you do.
Merry Christmas guys!
How great it must be to work in a place where everybody gets on and loves what they do! Best channel of the year imho. Bring on 2022!
Great to see you all have fun making the video. And still…so much to see of the heard work and excellent skills!
The nice thing about the Kubelwagen's engine is that the spare parts are still plentiful - its essentially a Volkswagen Beetle flat-four.

Excellent work guys! I'm looking forward to next year's progress!
Looking at that Kubelwagen, you can definitely see where they got the shape of the Volkswagen golf MK1 from !
Fun video guys! Great engineering techniques. Perfect, informative commentary. Excellent work!
To the great team of AusArmour "thanks mate" 😆
Thanks guys, really enjoy seeing what goes into these restorations. Welding in the tropics, you can keep that though! Can't wait to get up there and check it all out!

Saludos desde Argentina 🤝🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When you have to replace a section of armor plate with new steel, do use the same grade of steel that the tank was built with originally?
È incredibile come in sett'antanni e più la struttura principale e il motore della kubelwagen non sia cambiata una volta trasferita nel maggiolino!!!
Best of the best video, Panther wheel stuff was very interesting as was how the Panther used improved production techniques compared with the Tiger.
When I was in the army I saw a Goliath.
And we used explosives.
Most books say it can carry a lot of explosives (60/100Kg), but you won't put more than 10Kg inside. However it can carry a 100 Kg man for sure.
Merry Christmas Ausarmor
Thanks for a great year of broadcasting. You've all well and truly earnt your Xmas beers. Respect.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Great work guys! Have an awesome Christmas 🎄 🎉
Looking forward to see how you go in 22. 😁
Hey guys, great job as every time. If it is possible, can you make an episode or give us some informations of your hunt for the missing parts. Seems to me as a really hard and everlasting job.
Can't wait for the next episode in 2022. Happy Christmas for everyone.

Really enjoy the effort you put into your restoration projects Merry 🎄👍👍👍
Happy Holidays to you all. See ya next year.
