Back between lockdowns 1 and 2 I had to get an MOT on the truck.
Unfortunately, what I thought would be a tiny welding job turned into a much bigger job than anticipated.
Luckily, a good friend was due to visit, a friend who has much better welding skills than me!
Much beer was drunk, and much welding was done!
The truck is now MOT positive! 🙂
** Not the best quality video I’m afraid. I was only shooting it on my phone for posterity, but there turned out to be enough footage to make it into a video at least a couple of people might be interested in! **

How much do welder charge? Could you please tell me how much they would normally charge for a repair like the one in the video? Thanks in advance
Superb. Every bloke needs a mate like this.
Land rover definition , a pile of loosely connected rust on wheels ,but you've got to love 'em eh ?
Drain hole then blast through drain hole with wax oil.
Yeaaaah more Land Rover stuff
Great video guys! If the rust was caused by water being held in that part, would it not be sensible to drill a hole for future water to empty out?? Seems a simple solution to a simple mind like mine!! Cindy
Good job Max…..just tell the Mr spunglegrommet to building his organs
couldn't do that on a fiat 500
Why am I watching men weld a landy at 3am
if you buy a land rover you will spend your life welding ,,,shit vehicle sorry
'Tis but a flesh wound…
Mr Trumpet, you're lucky to have a friend that likes to help out and seems like a good welder. If he played his cards right he could become well known on YouTube. All the best, and Gaudete! Mart.
where di i get on fof those grinder gards? haha
I would drill a nice drain hole in it at the lowest part to prevent a reocourance of the rust bucket syndrome
What is about LR's that people want them? They seem to fall apart, rot away and are not very reliable, what is the attraction when you can get a thing called a Toyota? I must confess I do like the look of them but the endless faffing about with them puts me off!
I really hope you drilled holes for drainage, and treated the inside with something. Unless you don't mind doing it all over again soon. Well done otherwise. Loved the fuel dripping on the welder too : )
