Thankyou for filming all of that.

Those beautiful Lucas front indicator lights/lenses will fit directly on to a 1967 Aston Martin DB6......They fetch better prices as Aston Martin parts... Beautiful vehicle and a beautiful dog.

3:05 According to documentation from Cruisemaster (TB 070) you're not supposed to weld across the width (ie transversely) of a chassis rail. I presume the same would apply to the drawbar as it's also a stressed longitudinal member. Is that right?

Lovely vid really helpful.

Tannic acid and similar organic chelating agents are not reported to be long lasting coatings ( as may be epoxy based dual components) . Instead of converting would'nt you prefer first removing rust chrmically ( NaOH, oxalic or citric acid with possible electrolytic stimulation) possibly followed by phosphation with phosphorix acid as primer coating and finally protecting with epoxy or PU based painting such as marine drilling platform specialty productd. My case concerns pathfinder body frame preservation but via insitu treatment without global dismantling. Please be tolérant with my froggy'sglish. DIY inhibition free attitude for rust progress inhibition is your moto.

Use this on french polish and you wipe 200 years of value right away

Do you know where the chassis number is usually located on caraparks? Time to register but need to prove previous registration

Are those landrover Australia badges easy to come by only one missing from my set

I know this is an old video, but I just came across your channel, seeing how I got the vintage Land Rover itch again. I wanted to say that I appreciate your philosophy on making money on restorations. I feel the same way. They are such cool vehicles, but after all, they are just tools that should be used for their purpose.

Hey mate do you have any videos related to buffing old aluminium? We restoring the original cladding on our carapark.

just found the channel. I like your food rating system. I miss my old series 1 88". did a bit of a restoration on it but sold it before i could enjoy it.

Great trip!

Thank you Steve, very helpful I look forward to delving into your achives Stuart

Merry Christmas!! Hope all is well down there!!!!

Hi Steve, Just discovered your channel and am enjoying watching how you’ve gone about renovating your old van. I’ve got an old Viscount Ambassador 15ft late 60s or early 70s that needs a birthday. I’m learning lots from watching, so thanks. I’ve been watch lots of vintage caravan renovation videos and I notice most window repair jobs show it as not too hard to get windows out if it’s the original dried and crumbling mastic, but if someone has previously use silicone or sickaflex to reseal the windows it’s horrible to get the windows out and to clean the silicone or sickaflex off. So I don’t understand why all these videos then turn around and use silicone or sickaflex to reseal windows, ensuring that the next person has a horrible time getting the windows out and cleaning the frames. Why isn’t mastic tape used to seal the windows? Another thing, you said that the butterfly hinges you used to hang one of your windows was as difficult to get as rocking-horse poop, but what was it about those specific hinges that precluded you from using some other hinge? You fixed some other hinges to do another job later in the video.

Beautiful spot to live.

Hey mate you wouldn’t happen to know where to get porthole windows from would you

What thickness do you use on outside walls )?

'Dexter-ing' the van ! Hahaha. Very inspiring guys - im about to do the same.

Just started the journey. Looked Aus wide for a shorty and found two less than a kilometre from home thanks to a mate. The engine is out and stripped already.

Oh man. Nearly made your mistake by copying the bearing in the first part of the video not after you corrected it. Opps. Thanks for the video

Thanks. This video confirmed why I don't bother paying sparkies. Its all common sense.

Just got two Shortie Landies here in Moruya after searching Australia wide and found them half a kilometre from home. Lol. Patina rebuild to come.

Ideas on what else could be used if I dont have a shoe last?

See the old 107" station wagon ( @ 0:20 minutes ) still standing where you dropped her off 3 years ago.... At least she is "in the eye" now, working on your conscience 😂

Dave Owen a bit sketchy 😂😂😂

So Steve .... It's three years later... Has anything happened in the meantime with this old girl??? Did you clean her out, and stripped down ? Could you trace a/the previous owner through that badge on the fender... Time for a update video, please, or don't you do that anymore ? Regards, from RSA 🇿🇦

Great snakes!! This is such a cool project. ❤

Watch the heat under the seat box. That DC DC will run 40 degrees plus. With no airflow probably 55 degrees constant. Those Gen4 elcon chargers need to push a lot of air too. They're both IP rated so not unhappy a bit more exposed to the elements. We used to put the charger in the box like that but moved to making a bracket that sits it under the seat, but with more airflow. Add some perforations.

It's still happening. Awesome. Let us know if you need anything. Got a bunch of spare Telsa module accessories

nice project, is there after conversion still the 4wd usebale? greetings from germany,

So great to have you back after so long! As both a serial Series Land Rover owner and an ex-Tesla engineer this is my perfect project 😁

glad your back on deck ,have really missed your presentations , cheers big ears

Crikey! I reckon you'll lose the longest ever restoration challenge as it seems that project is going full steam ahead with some crafty characters who know a hell of a lot more than I concerning the subject at hand. Good to see you make a return to the small screen.

Thanks for the progress Updates.

👍👍👍

Hey mate another question - you don't sand the plywood or paint a prime or oil first? Just the 2 coats exterior paint?

Great job mate , I am doing this project as well I am in Melbourne hop don’t have any problems with the engineering

Hello, where can I get a punch tool for the 3/16 rivets. Also, would I need two punch tools to round the rivets off on both sides?

what a sweet little girl! just looks super, paint shows its age. Looks great just like that.

When I read that you were going to Dangar to pick up the Perentie I thought "gee I know of a guy who does a lot of boat fixing videos up there", and then of course Stu jumps out of the Perentie!

nice landy i have series 2a

Hey, great video thanks! Can I ask how much primer, and how much paint you used please? This has inspired me to have a go at our friends caravan 👍🍻

A video close to my heart mate. Thanks for getting me started on the tools!

I am restoring a 1955 series 1 107". Can you show me where the actual horn is mounted, please? My horn (WT618) was in the passenger footwell when I bought my vehicle.

I've decided to sell my perentie after 5yrs of amazing 4 wheeling. I'm getting on for Seventy now and it's time to ease up a little. I'm just down the road from you at Tura Beach. See how it goes on Gumtree. It only had 58000 k's when the army sold it and now it's got only 11000 more.

Nice, but should have installed a v8 🤣

What is the stainless tank you are using? Thanks advance, your videos have been super helpful.

Gee, ya didn’t highlight the metropolis of Moruya. Lol.

Nice job! Looking to replace both hammered and pop rivets at factory locations on my Series 2a project here in the U.S. to keep it authentic. This helps.
