Nice work. Thanks for your videos. I have torn down a highly modified S3 (Converted to coil over with LD28 Diesel engine and auto) with a 6 inch lift. In a nutshell your timelapse here helped me with some ideas like wiring whene only the firewall is on etc. Cheers. I am way down under in NZ and have never pulled a vehicle apart to this degree. YT recommended your vid to me. Cheers.

Martin, you're too kind, many thanks for comment. I would love to say it was decided to keep the patina, but really it was just a lack of skills in painting and bodywork on my part. That said I love the patina look too.

There’s a lot of work there ! Not only in the vehicle but the video too ! Brilliant! And what a detail to keep that “ used “ look when under the skin it’s brand new !

Excellent time lapse summation of the whole build. I've watched quite a lot of the videos and it was a very meticulous buildwhile sympathetic to maintaining it's character. Cheers!

Many thanks, you're too kind. It's been so much fun. And lovely to have someone else's budget to just go get bits when I need them, really refreshing. I really appreciate your description of the project. I wish I could say it was my intention but if I'm honest it's just my lack of ability thats less the bodywork not being touched:)

First class job. Retained it’s history and concentrated on what was important. Excellent video.

Many thanks Mat, I'm so pleased with all the videos. It's been a hell of journey and just a small fraction of what you've achieved with land rovers. But I've had a lot of fun learning the land rover ropes. And thanks again for all you're videos I've referred to plenty of yours over the span of the project. Next project is the rolling road. I hope you find some relatable content in these videos. Thanks again

Great job. @4:47 wonderful shot.

Amazing job, amazing series! Thank you for documenting and sharing your work and journey. I have a '62 S2a that I am about to start working on. When you started, how much did you know about Land rovers? How did you learn along the way? Were you following a manual/guide or did you just know how to do it all? Thanks again!

Thanks for your kind comment, reading comments like this is so motivational. I hadn't worked on a land rover before, but I have worked a fair bit on cars, I always refer to the manual for torque settings, and often look for YT videos foe the complicated stuff like the gearbox and bits of the axles. Jeffrey Croker from New Zealand does some very good videos that I referred to. But it is a reqlly simple vehicle, its a lovely thing to work on. If it doubt take a few photos as things come apart. Good luck with your project it going to be great fun. Thanks again

@@jakehoward4755 thanks Jake. Yeah after a few different projects I'm finding it to be the fly in the ointment of classic car ownership. You're good for about the first 20 years, but once a car gets older than 20 years its begins to get trickier and trickier to get bits. What a massive pain I the arse

Very interesting, that’s a lot of work in just a few minutes, thanks for sharing this. I am busy with a video on the cost of my restoration and it is quite revealing. Do your calculations include the cost of labour or is that why you have indicated the labour time?

@lozl

Thanks for the comment, glad you're enjoying the videos :) The costs listed do not include labour. Those are parts and outsourced work only. I did it this was as my neighbour didn't pay me for labour, he did work for us instead hence keeping a track of the hours

Does the chassis really rust from the inside out?

@lozl

I have found it does yeah. The worst stuff was rusted quickly from the outside in, where dirty and water gets blasted on the chassis by the wheels. But the rest of the chassis does slowly rust from inside out.

Why didn't you paint the floor panels?.

@lozl

4 ай бұрын

Good question..... I painted some of the panels that's were steel and rusty, but the floor panels were aluminium. They require a more complex paint process and that paint would have worn off more quickly given that they are floor panels so I left them.

Wish mine came in that cheap🤣
