These guys are in Australia. They restore World War II tanks that have been used as targets over the years. They get them running again. This is one example of what they go through to make a part.

Re: Restoration inspiration
Impressive - yes!
But we have an advantage over these guys, we have access to the original parts drawings when we fabricate a part, while they have to reproduce a part from a surviving (and broken) example. And they are very(!) good at it.
