This is one of the greatest days of my life. I am now the proud owner of an original Sturmgeschutz III Ausf D tank wreck! I done a deal with my Schwimmwagen, which I swapped for the Stug wreck. I cannot thank the kind and generous gentleman involved-Kevin Wheatcroft.
This has been a dream of mine, and now it is reality, I hope to get this valuable piece of German history back into working condition over the next two years, finances allowing!

I loaded my Schwimmwagen for the last time to be delivered to the haulage company ready for delivery the next day.

After a sleepless night of excitement, I patiently waited the delivery of the Stug! Whilst waiting, it suddenly daunt on me the enormity of the project I had taken on...
However, as soon as I saw my eight tonnes of rust arrive, any apprehension I had felt turned back to excitement!

Best of luck with your new project. Is there any more bits to it, like an engine? Loving anything early WW2, basically not with an 88mm. Do you know anything of the vehicle's history?
