17:03 Land Rover ownership summarised
Im contemplating doing this to my series 3, but removing everything from the chassis fills me with dread…!
I’m so happy you are publishing videos. This is awesome, keep it up man!
1) Nice work.
2) Does the little Makita survive the process? -It was working really hard
3) (trivia question) about how many cut-off discs did you work through?
Although a lot more complicated and time consuming I use C shaped or D shaped patches,curve at each end and bevel edges to avoid vertical stress riser points
I spent all day yesterday breaking down my 1961 Series 2 – wondering about replacing the chassis or repairing it, then saw this video! Can't wait to see the next part!
Wonderful, this chassis gives a whole new meaning to the word "Box Section". But then with an aluminum body we can see they boys at Solihull had to opt for this type of chassis design.
I stumbled across your Land Rover series (pun intended) just yesterday and I'm nearly caught up. I really like your videography style and it reminds me of another youtuber, 'This Old Tony'. Thanks for taking the time to make such polished videos and best wishes from here in the UK.
While it doesn't matter for this build; strength of the chassis is not just based on more steel and more welds, stress and fatigue are big problems. Chassis flex a lot, different thickness boundaries and welds can create stress risers leading to fatigue and premature failure
Welding 5/10, grinding 10/10
You marked the tab holes but didn't you raise the rear cross member?
How much is a galvanised chassis for 88” Land Rover ?
Great job! Lots of repairs. I agree. Keep pieces where they belong.
Great ‘vidjeo’ really enjoy welding vids for some unknown reason.
I do love these styles of video you create.
Personally, I would have bought a new rear crossmember with extensions and saved a load of effort, time and welding.
That being said, I watched every minute and enjoyed every second. Top stuff young man!
It is not just a hole – it is a feature… 😀 😀
Have a good weekend!
what kind of welder do you use is it gaseless mig
