On any occasions you have to weld this much on a panel where warpage will ALWAYS exist(you simply can't rule it out), you should jump around a lot more than you did. Making 30-40mm log welds then jump somewhere really far. Then wait to let it cool. You will still get warpage but it would be localised, small waves instead of geometry changes.

Binky paint and now this. My weekend is completely made

Well done Geoffrey. Great work. I think anyone doing such a detailed restoration encounters their own personal saga at some point. Yours was the chassis, mine was the gearbox!

With all the comments here about project Binky I thought I'd better check it out. Glad I did. Now I'm hooked and plenty of episodes to catch up on!

Ah my cup runneth over, Geoffrey battling with 1970's British automotive design, the mini Project Binky gets an amazing paint job and Retro Power has almost finished the Morris Minor replacement wings. Who would have thought that there were diamonds in all those oil leaking rust buckets!

Just for future reference, if you have a long weld to make and you're in fear of it distorting the metal, weld it in back steps, meaning, if you weld it left to right and make it three to four inches long, you move back from where you began the first weld by the same amount and start your next weld and continue backwards until you've finished it. Or.... you could weld from the ends toward the center, that should help to keep things right.That being said, you honestly do pretty good work!

When are we going to be able to see new episodes? Literally the best land rover restauration in YT!!

Awww yisss! Project Binky uploads yesterday and Project Wonky uploads today - the two best vehicle restoriations on youtube!

Maximus runs marathons in his spare time, Geoffrey runs welds, lots of welds. Great vid as always, thanks for sharing!

You welder sounds like a small kitten when you come off the weld. I expect a kitten now 😝

having had several landrovers and done all chassis repairs , i suggest before going any further you try on your rear springs if you think your chassis warped that much .

St Geoffrey - Patron Saint of Chassis Repairers. You really have the patience. Looking forward to the next instalment.

That was a marathon welding session. At the end of the last video, you said rather prophetically, "There's more, there's always more." How right you were.👍

Binky and Geoffrey Croker the same day. yay !

Those repairs look well worth the effort of repeating. Better fitment .. and they look 100 times better. Thanks for sharing!

You need to feed your cat! Lol! Thanks for the entertainment!

aah i just binged the series again and now crave more D:

Full hot dip gal treatment for the chassis I imagine. Great attitude, even if you required people watching (which I suspect is not true). Thank you Mr. Croker!

You say don't take advice, but you make some good points. That is thick steel yet you still demonstrate you have to be careful with heat and weld. Same with the elbow - good advice when thinking about how materials behave. And don't feel bad about going bsck and starting again. That chassis was in a bad way and alot of people would of said "that will do" and carried on. Hats off to you!

I think that wiggling metal plate was actually vibrating mega quick and the camera frame rate synced up and made it seem like it was moving a lot slower. Similar to when heli rotors seem stationary on video. Fun side effect!

Galvanise and then smooth raptor coating. Great video

Well done, that's a monumental achievement! Glad that the Patreon support is helping the project 👍

After an all day marathon on a series 3 rust bucket I have this treat excellent !!

You are doing a very nice job of the repairs, maybe a little overkill but more than sturdy enough. One skill you may or may not be familiar with is heat shrinking. It can be a great time saver when tweaking those last couple of millimeters into the exact position you want and all you need is a torch. Keep up the good work.

Hello ! So great ! I'm sad at each end of your videos ... I want more !! Lol Thanks Frank from France.

Amazing job. Incredibly smart way of doing it.

Enjoyed that. Much respect for going back over the job and doing it right.looks like a proper job now 👍

Thanks Geoff, you're always good for a chuckle and detailed descriptions (with video) of things that can and probably will go wrong.

Hey Geoff, now that I have read the comments I have a suggestion; you should make a video talking about what you would like to do in your spare time and spend hours editing for others entertainment (such as repairing a chassis) then ask people for advice on how they would do it. Only then you should make a video of yourself doing it, paying careful attention to all the safety tips and Pro Tips from those who have many more hours of KZread viewing than you have. You would therefore also avoid all of your mistakes because you would have been told how to do it correctly, adjusting for all variables that are obvious to those who have watched every episode of Project Binky and other car restoration channels. This would also mean you dont have to suffer the indignity of finding out later that there were many better ways of doing it than you knew.

What an amazing recovery! I learned so much from this episode. Thanks!

Great start to my Saturday, thank you and well done

Yesterday I bought my own '98 Defender 110. Looking forward to get my hands greasy on that beast. Thanks for your great channel! Love your work very much.

Ok, thanks. I got to go downstairs and weld something now. Hmm... but what? 🤔Maybe something on my wife’s Freelander... Awesome video series 👏

When I have done a rear crossmember replacement I have always left the rear body on, cut the extensions on an anlge and also added extra plates to the chassis side rails. Great to see this sort of work fabbing up a chassis though and a very good video to watch!

Oh my God! That is a hell lot of work! Respect man!

Hy. I dont even own a Landy, but the quality of your content is amazing. Your OCD is so refreshing to see. Since I suffer from it myself i kind of know what you’re going through.

Love your videos, my 2 cents would be, when everything is tacked and you are sure the measurements are alright, don’t put long welds on one side like you did on the bottom, but weld 10cm, then go to the other side, weld 10cm, weld top/bottom and move from one side to another, that way you distribute heat/warpage and you should have less distortion, also when you start welding it, weld it to the end, don’t stop and let the metal cool and then weld again as that will warp again. My other suggestion would be when you put plates in for the chassis, bevel them out a bit as what you are doing is putting them tight to each other and then pushing with the mig gun (but bevel and pull), so it creates less penetration, I’m welding a lot of 2mm square tubing so I have to be really careful and warpage is a bastard.

Great video, entertaining to watch. One thing I'd recommend is not welding with bare skin showing. There is still alot of UV coming off of the weld spark, even if you're doing something quick like tacking something on. I'm no welder but I've seen what it can do. It'll literally give you sun burn. But keep up the great videos, can't wait to see this yoke runing again!!
