Default Grant Interior Photo's Wanted

Hi all. I now have a large pile of parts to fit into my 'Ghost Grant' as its been called and don't have much info on interior layout, stowage etc. Other than the TM for the M3 medium, Hunnicuts sherman book and pictures on Doug Grevilles web site can anyone suggest where I can get some more pics/info on interior fit out ?

Regards

Carl

Ghost Grant?
Are you the chap who owns the former Range Target Grant, I've only seen one pic of it, think it was taken at the war & peace (Beltring) show a couple of years ago????

I am indeed the owner of the Ex Range Target Grant in the UK.

I am about to start refitting the interior and exterior with lots of parts sourced from Oz.

I'm not restoring it to as new condition, more so Retro Restoration as I call it ! It will be once again complete, running and driving with turret turning and guns elevating but will be rusty and full of holes. All the damage to it is of major historical importance and will remain as is.

Still looking for lots of internal and external parts if anyone can help me ?

Regards

Carl

My G104 album contains some pics of it, it shows the transition from range wreck to running wreck. Just kidding Carl, you're doing a great job!

Some nice footage of this on the move here:

Particularly liked the sunlight visible through the holes in the hull. Wears its history on its sleeve as it were...
