Panhard EBR-90 FULL RESTORATION Documentary

Daryl and Jesse smashed out this external cosmetic restoration of our Panhard EBR-90 late last year. It was a quick restioration... but it certainly wasn't easy!
Even though it's not a runner for the moment, it's still a fantastic addition to the AusArmour Collection!

Î was in in one of then during mine french service in 1973 ... lots of memories in 1973 .. lots of mémoires

[@roymilton426]

....cool

[@Sillybutts]

What was your experience with the vehicle? Anything of note?

[@NaddlyC]

What was your role inside it?

[@pacettid]

Visiting the Australian Armor Museum is definitely on my bucket list. Not only are the results of the restorations amazing, so is the team. Well done!

[@tdb7992]

You can tell that the Frenchmen who built the Panhard EBR-90 took a lot of pride in the work and were masters at their craft. French engineering is always so unique and impressive. It's so cool that we have one on display in Australia.

[@PeterNissen878112]

What's the saying? “The French copy no one and no copies the French”!

[@06colkurtz]

French Engineering??? LOL Oxymoron.

[@frostedbutts4340]

Can't think of one thing past or present that is an example of good French engineering.

[@wilsonlaidlaw]

I often drive past one of these 8 wheel Panhards, parked outside the French army artillery division barracks in Draguignan. In late September, from my house in the village of Tourtour, up in the Var mountains, I hear the artillery practicing in the Camp de Canjuers, a large military exercise area, a bit north of me. I am guessing that it would be quite difficult to source a running flat 12 gasoline engine, which I believe was 12 cylinders, pistons and con rods from a flat twin Panhard Dyna car mounted on a flat 12 crankcase and with a custom crankshaft. Would you like me to talk to the artillery museum people in Draguignan and ask if they know where an engine might be sourced in France?

[@earlatkins9559]

Amazing rebuild, guys.It's nice to see another vehicle saved from the scrap heap. Much better in a museum where people can get up close and appreciate them.

[@stephenyoud6125]

great to see the summary all in one sitting. Well done again Daz and Jessie

[@thomasbrunner5131]

Nice to see things fixed up with the care used by this group. A job well done!

[@shanechaffey9050]

Always like to watch people that know their shit and do it to the best of their ability. Congratulations guys

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

>FULL RESTORATION For a second I thought you were announcing that it was to be _fully_ restored to running condition. Still, very nice to see this machinery rebuilt as far as it is.

[@alanantoniobre189]

I would not doubt that in the future they will take it out again and completely restore it. The base is very good

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@alanantoniobre189 Hopefully! The German machines are apparently more popular for most, but I love seeing non-German machines.

[@MrSychnant]

Very clever French with two drivers (one each end) so that they canjust as fast in either direction ,as "Oddball" said in the movie Kellys Heros, "get out of trouble as fast as they got into it"

[@gadgetfellow]

Several armoured cars had that feature, i think there is an italian one with dual steering in the imperial War Museum in Johannesburg South Africa. For use in mountainous areas where u can't turn around on single lane tracks.

[@somethingnonsense5389]

absolutely a big thumbs up for the craftsmanship displayed while restoring these badly beat up vehicles.. it is amazing to see what you guys can do with a couple of (what really are) wrecks!

[@NesconProductions]

How Daryl & Jesse figure out how these mangled wrecks piece together is simply astounding! Daryl's comment about Al was classic Aussie banter at 14:51! "This is the good thing about having old people here, he might have had a pet dinosaur but he's got bloody good ideas." 😁 - well said. The (Frankenstein) EBR-90 sure came a long way, well done by all involved!

[@TheSavageRepairman]

Nothing short of pride in your work displayed here. Determination, sense of integrity, commitment to detail, not to mention years of hard work and dedication to the craft. Well done lads.

[@claytonnans5639]

This remains one of the highlights of my week. Your videos make me happy, Don't underestimate the power of your content.... Thank you.

[@SteveMichaels]

Super excited to see the rest of this rare armored car restoration one day. Good Job you all ! Enjoyed watching an ty for sharing !

[@russwoodward8251]

This EBR vehicle is all stowage! Brilliant work. Thank you Aus Armour.

[@user-ho1fg8xm3i]

Wow, to turn all the mangled sheet metal back into something close to its original shape was amazing. Love to see this as a runner some day.

[@Blazestation]

Absolutely astonishing. These tanks are the bane of my life playing world of tanks lol. Truly amazing work from all of the team, epic actually!! Keep up the great work guys! Stay safe and stay well.

[@gerardhogan3]

This is a cool looking piece of French engineering. I hope it becomes a runner. Good ol Frenchies.

[@billsargent3407]

Wow, what a great job, I don't know what scarier, those tight tight jeans, Daryls "Commando" attire, or the fact that they pounded all the twisted metal into something with curves vaguely resembling a 1970 Renault "Le Car". Well done!

[@luftwicker07]

It just amazes me, the brilliant craftsmanship of the crew and what they can accomplish. Bravo fellas.

[@user-uk8jr6zc9l]

Very enjoyable video this panel beaten Panhard EBR-90. It is great to watch the weekly installments stitched together in this full-length feature. Well done to all at the Museum.

[@lesthiele4921]

Looking forward to the magic that these two guys will put into this re-build, hope all goes well, best regards from a recent visitor, Les

[@wazza33racer]

Its like magic watching these twisted mangled wrecks transform into something original again.

[@semiotto5973]

You guys put a lot of hard work into these restorations and it shows in brilliant work, it's great to watch these videos and see what goes into these museum pieces and it lends a true appreciation for the effort and lengths you go to in order to bring these vehicles to display. Keep up the great work.

[@user-co7dr3rl8b]

You really have to admire what these guys can do with A pile of scrap.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

ooooh! I've been waiting for this! I didn't think the Panhard was going to be restored at all. Happy days!

Thanks for bringing this back to life for future generations

[@rburns8581]

Great team work, your all fantastic in what you're able to do.

Great to see these full length documentaries. However no workshow Wednesday?

[@PassDaMethod]

God bless you hard working gentlemen. You're doing a service to all those who were involved in creating such impressive machines by restoring them to their former glory, and you're doing an even bigger service to those who want to see history kept alive to be appreciated and not repeated!

[@wattiespotatoes6401]

I saw this as a wreck a while ago when I came, awesome to see the EBR finally done! Love you guys so much

That mudguard really looks like a handkerchief that was in somebody’s pocket too long. Unbelievable that they got that flattened out! That took a lot of energy to fold it up, but more to make it straight again.

That was a transformation all right. From a rusty pile of French Garbage to a Pretty good looking pile of french garbage. They certainly were unique and it makes an excellent addition to the collection. The guys did a great job..
