Mate……. your welding is gorgeous!
The mint munted rover returns
Did my rebuild 20 years ago (1972 109" LWB [ 1 Ton ] ) and the one thing that i regret the most is not adding a NEW chassis @ £850 as it was then it would mean 20 years on I wouldn't be looking at a second rebuild now 🙁
The frames probably straighter now than when it left the factory.
was this landrover petrol or dihedral
After the welding montage Geoffrey, I hit the dance floor with Irene Cara
Great video and work on the Land Rover, well done young man!
You’re a really good welder. I wouldn’t have bothered dressing those welds at the 20:00 mark. Nothing wrong with them at all. Particularly once painted, they would’ve been hardly noticeable.
Just discovered this restoration and I’m hooked. Must. See. More..
From what I can see you are a pretty good welder..good job
Well you closed up the frame rails after inspecting the inside welds…..should you have primed the inside with rust inhibitor ?
You know, as I watched Squatch253 take a dented old air cleaner for a Cat D2, (for which he had a perfectly good slightly later replacement), take it apart, grind apart the spot welds, unsolder the connectors, straighten the bent (and now accesssible) metal pieces, and then reweld/rivet/solder the pieces, I thought I'd seen the most meticulous loving restoration I was going to see this week.
And then I watched you deduce the faults in a chassis using only straight edges and tape measure, like some ancient greek geometer.
Kudos to both of you!
Sorry I am late I had a lot to catch up. Just found the first official land rover channel.
Fabulously thoughtful and skillful restoration and very entertaining on this cold English Sunday morning, your filming and editing is also amazing, well done.
