Normally I wouldn't upload two videos on the same day, but this one actually took less time than I thought it would. I have three of these, this one was in the worst condition. One I left original, one I restored and so I figured a custom job was in order. This was a fun bit to do and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I hope you are too!

The great thing about these restos or customs, is they look so real, as though drivable. Very nice work.
I really enjoyed this restoration. It's great to watch you and Marty's Matchbox Makeovers put the kind of care and detail into such well worn old vehicles and bring them back to life. Thanks!
The details make all the difference
Fantastic job on the land rover! The lift kit and tires ,Out did your Self👍💎
You do the absolute best paint!
Wow!😲, great custom/restoration. Love the green & white contrast 👍👍
Very nice, look like an high quality model, congrat for your work.
A+ on the design and execution with a strong B- on the paint job. Really great
Now thats a nice build.
Fantastic videos, love your attention to detail. Greetings from across the pond.
Greetings TR. Well ya certainly cracked that one. Another one under your belt. Enjoyed watching that. Thanks.
This is my most watched video . . .
Time Rider not suprising really. I’ve still got watch some others I haven’t seen yet. I’ll get round to those eventually. 👍
Just want to say great work on all your models... I was inspired to find one of the rover safari... I got a plastic base one, missing luggage.. going to do a restomod on it. Hope it looks as good as yours
Good Luck
Your customization thoughtfully is done with no pointless" bling" getting in the way. Very well carried off. Congratulations TR!
love Land Rover Custom
Now we are talking! I like your choice of paint color. When I see land rovers I expect to see green body white top. This is cool. I am all over code 3 restos.
Nice job like the lift kit👍👍👍
Thanks . . . I was a DeMolay.
That's a great job! Better than the original
Nice job Lee, it looks fantastic, always wanted one of them in real life.
Wow! My favorite so far. I like 4x4 1/64.
Figured with a handle like Fourwheeljive you'd like it.
This is amazing. My first car was a Land Rover and I always love to see these being explored. The green you chose was perfect and those “White Rangers” ended up looking really complementary. Great video!
Love the way you lifted it with new rims and axle. Can’t wait to see more of your custom work. I am subscribing.
Welcome . . .
250th like... Niiiiiiice! That "extreme makeover" idea shows a pretty interesting path; well doneTR, we will be waiting for more! 👏👏👏
Copy that!
Great job..what a fantastic looking Landy👍👍
Thanks!
Dare I say, far superior to the original, although just a tad too high off the ground. Here in England, this colour is the most common for Landys, keeping the roof plain was an inspiration.
Yeah, I would have liked it a tad lower, but I had no clue how it would look and by the time I saw, it was all over but the crying!
I like what you did. Make a model to your liking inspired by whatever inspires you. I do that too and feel like you. I respect perfect restorers but making a unique recreation is a totally different discipline. I believe I will move that way more and more. Thanks for posting this one. I will keep following your vids. Have fun diecasting.
How many blue-teal Land Rovers can a guy have eh? This one was pretty messed up to boot!
Great custom job. I wondered if anyone had done a lift kit before and I love how you did it. Also love the detailed work you put into it.
I appreciate keeping cards original for restores but live when you cut loose and go full custom
That turned out so perfect. Great work!
Thanks!
great job looks real good. like the tires. a suggestion for the windshield use a 3000 grit sanding pad and a clear coat to hide the fine starches. car headlights restores kits use it.
Thanks for the tip
very nice result , wouldn't mind more customs like that.
I'll always do them. I like the restores for sure, but so far I've been running about 50-50.
Amazing make over, fine looking custom!
Love custom restorations.
Beauty is in the details:)
Great model ,,, fantastic workmanship,,,,, Thanx for a great vid,,,,,
I love what you did here. The colour is superb, too - it always bothered me, as every Landrover I had ever seen was that dark bronze green colour. I never saw a light blue one, ever. A great custom, thanks for sharing!
That looks great. Nice job!
Amazing!!! It looks simply amazing!
I had a lot of fun doing it too!
That Turnd out great keep doing this sort of make over as well, I had one of those Land Rovers back home in Australia it was SO noise to drive 😃
I like doing them . . .
Very nice! Excellent work.
Thanks Greg!
I am very impressed with this custom! Wonderful detailed work. Paintn looks so amazing. I rate this one an A++.
Having owned Land Rovers for 45 years I could comment further
but after my Routemaster diatribe maybe I'll just say
Excellent, Well done, keep it up!
Diatribe? Naaahhhh . . .
I don't often care for custom builds but I love this one! It maintains the visual look of an actual Land Rover but the lift kit and wheels make it truly interesting. It offers a neat fix for the broken chassis axle loop as well. And you now have extra Matchbox wheels in case you ever need them.
My thoughts exactly.
I concur with all the positive feedback. I'm inclined to do more of the slight customizations/details (If I actually decide to try this for a hobby myself) so it was nice to see your efforts. I work in the autoparts business - Ford dealer wholesale - myself. Small world.
My PD was a Ford shop. We tried a few Chargers. They seemed to spend more time at Dodge than anywhere else.
@@TimeRider Small world. One of my dealer's would likely have been your parts supplier.
Fantastic thanks
Great custom job.
Looks great, the lift gives it a totally different look! Good work!
Thanks Wade!
Nice detail with the grille
Wow, quite the transformation! Congratulations!
Beautiful.
I hear you on the extra details... a lot of people here on the internet get very mad for some reason when you add extra detailing to a restoration car.... I think I would want the car to be what it was before and better if possible but apparently not for some reason lol. Nice video, the end product is great looking! I like the lift kit!
There are those who are purists. I say it's my model I can do whatever I want with it!
😎
😎
😎

The Green Onion I agree with you it would look better with more details like the steering wheel and seats
land rover looks great!
Turned out amazing much better then the original
Thanks!
Great custom! Im new to all this and Ive only done a few customs so far, but a tip to make life easy- when painting a two tone paint job I like to spray the whole thing the lighter color first then masking off what I want to stay, being a racing stripe or white roof, then spray the dark color. As long as you use light coats you won't lose any detail and might save a little time. Keep up the fine work sir!
I have to respectfully disagree, any time you lay a coat of paint on it, you're losing detail. But thank's for the tip. I appreciate the offering.
@@TimeRider just throwing out the idea haha. I personally haven't had any problems but I don't use a primer coat and spray thin coats of createx wicked paints mostly, so I guess I end up with the same amount of paint as you do with the primer coat. Either way excellent job from a new subscriber!
That turned out beautiful, it sure looks ready for an adventure or three 😁
Excellent, thats so much better, the original model was a police or maybe coastguard version judging by that huge bucket light on the back and by the colour i,d go with police,.
An absolutely beautiful custom build. I'm glad you decided against the luggage rack. I think it would have detracted from the rest of the work you did on the car.
I almost started bending paper clips and then looked at that beautiful smooth roof where the hole used to be and thought . . . uh-uh . . . not happening!
perfect nice work
Wow, what a difference! One of the best customs I have seen in a long time! Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for the kind words.
Wow wow wow, that is absolutely awesome, thank you.
Thanks for watching
Wow!
Epic custom job on that old beater, fantastic!
Awesome custom my friend lift kit was a nice addition
Thanks 👍
Oh you made my day with the “well leave the light on for you”. Totally awesome. Oh and the custom was fabulous. Kudos on the lift job, brilliant Holmes just brilliant.
Everybody keeps telling me I sound like him . . .
That looks so cool thanks for the lift kit tip, that works awesome
I’ve seen various time the vídeo , love the way it turns out. Great job. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Greetings!
That looks amazing, better than the original, but that's the advantage of being able to detail a custom.
Super cool well done.
Fabulous rebuild it looks great
Thanks John!
Well well well now that was just so good it looked like it was all ways like that very nice
Very nice
Amazing, now to make it in “ life size”. As always, great job.
Coming from a rural area of the UK these green and white Landys were a large part of our lives...they were everywhere and could go anywhere....Jeeps and Landcruisers wouldn't look at places that a Landy could go. I've heard thst most Landys ever built ard still roadworthy because they are so robust...dont know if that is just a myth but I can believe it. Love the makeover...this is the version Matchbox should have made. 👍
Thanks Derrick!
I think it is awesome. This is the best matchbox make over ever. I cannot believe how you made such a huge improvement on this once bland looking car.
I really like what you did to this one.I have the same one that I've been dragging my feet on to do because glass /roof rack is missing, and it takes FOREVER to get replacement parts. Steve McQueen was the Coolest actor/racer/motorsports guy that ever was. He was definitely the real deal. Racing Dual shock Honda Cr250 Elsinores through the Desert, or Modifed Triumph Bonneville's Scrambling through Europe in the 60s. And most important 1968 Mustang Gt390. Enough said. lol
Could have used it as a base for an Austin Gipsy, which was basically a all steel version with some styling changes and some innovations by Austin's Alex Moulton (involved heavily in helping Issigonis design the Mini) as that would have confused ppl at meets etc hehe Yay for the proper use of Route, s'funny cos I tells me daughters off for calling the internet router a "rooter" just one of millions of foibles us Brits have but the hand tool that makes pretty shapes in wood we pronounce it "root" :D
the wheels really suited this build. I grabbed the same set froma local toys r us the other day. paint scheme was perfect aswell nice job
inspiring work…✌️
Thanks!
👍🏽
Unbelievable. Two new Time Rider videos in one night. How can I sleep now? That thing looks marvelous.
Thanks! I was pretty happy with it.
Nice.
👍
I didn't know exactly what you were going to do with this, I was in awe of the finished product!
I think it looks great, and the white rims is da bomb!!
One responder told me it was too California-ish.
I believe that is your best one yet! I really like it. I might do one of the three that I have in a similar fashion!
Some folks seem to think I went a bit too high on the lift and I actually agree, so maybe a tad lower if you do. Here's the wheel set I bought if you're interested. I almost did it in red just to use the awesome black and red wheels!

great job! just subscribed, always nice to see another matchbox/hot wheels channel out there doing good work.
Welcome!
Nice Job👍🏻 nice to see a project re-invented. Your reference image was a little misleading as the unusual sunny day in the U.K. washed out the correct roof/wheel colours - they’re usually more cream rather than white. Keep up the great work
I love all your restorations, that has to be my favorite, nice job!
I have wondered why ppl don't go into doing the interior's more, I will be doing this on my Super Kings ones I have as I think small details add to the magic of these models.
👍👏
Now that is a nice range rover awesome awesome job can’t wait for the next one see you in the future 👍
Your next video the split window Corvette .................( drunkvaderaz ) this guy does not speak for all of us he’s just one bad apple ( I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS TIMERIDER 👍 ).
Lovely.. rear cross member should be silver too.
Eh . . . maybe next time.
Job well done!
Brilliant revamp well done
That looks fantastic. Very much like the real thing. The original blue is terrible. Heaps of Landys down here (I've owned 5 now). Congrats.
That looks fantastic 😊
Thanks!
Super cool custom looks awesome
Thanks!
Looks great
Thanks!
Great job. Looks amazing.
Just two things. Have you heard of a dry brush technique? it would work wonders on the grill, also, you seemed to do it the hard way with painting the roof first, painting the body, then hitting it with clear coat the. Tape off and do the roof seems the better option.
That's awesome! I really enjoyed the way that Land Rover came out! Congrats!
hi time rider, paris dakar is the most grueling off road race. it 9000 miles long. rover is always in that race. they usually do pretty well. your rover again was very nicely done. i have a few matchbox car as well as hot wheels. i got into slot cars in the 1/64 scale. i have collected quite a few if them. just pushing the matchbox cars and hot wheels around was ok but i liked the speed of slot cars. thanks for sharing you hobby with us.
Nice one!!
I was thinking to re create the yellow Camel Trophy safari Land Rovers from years ago .
That would be cool too.
I'm fresh out of Land Rovers . . . 😎
This year Matchbox has launched this car with an offroad series, and I already have it 😍
Looks like they fixed the windshield too . . .
I'm not sure, because it's still in the blister and I haven't opened it. But this is still awesome...
@@AgusSantoso-lz3ym One of the issues with the Lesney Land Rover was the windshield was too "deep". The Land Rover always had a row of vents along the bottom of the windscreen. I looked at the new version and it looked to me like they added the vents and the windscreen is shorter.
@@TimeRider after I look, in this latest edition the bottom windshield is still too deep, and for the wind hole is not very visible even though we don't look carefully we will not know whether it is a wind hole.
and they have a new variant in this edition, a full roof rack without spotlights and a half roof rack with spotlights. please correct me if i'm wrong
Nice Custom, Land Rover is a beautiful car, regards

Great job 10 out of 10
This is my favorite one you did to date, looks AMAZING! Hope you do more of these in the future.
Sure, from time to time . . .
Normally I detest these customs of Matchbox toys, But this one does deserve the custom job
