we came across one, T-54, that has been de-milled by cutting out all the engine bay fittings, all that is left is the steering clutches/brakes attached to the final drives. As everything is worth saving, this seemed like a way to make a very functional, easily maintained and arguably better running tank, with parts available anywhere in North America. When we got the, what I call M109 pack for ease of description, ...we had thought about it for our Type 69, but that tank had such an fascinating story/history we decided best to keep it as original so we sourced a couple decent motors for it and left it how it was built.
