The rest of the build videos will be uploaded to my brand new channel called ( The Bearded Restorer ) I will make an announcement when the new channel goes live so stay tuned for that! Hope you enjoy this weeks video 🙂

    Colin, that was absolutely incredible! I'll never do anything like this myself but - for some reason - I found myself transfixed by your efforts here! Isn't it just great to see a sad, neglected old thing like this brought back to life ..... and a good life at that!!

    Great vid to watch Colin, takes me back some 50 years when I used to do all my own mechanics and welding, Oxy acetylene in those days no mig lol, can't do these things anymore but its a treat to watch you young uns keeping the art alive, thanks for posting.

    Colin mate I love your channel.. what you do when you go looking for abandoned houses and cars is epic.. I also love going to find them too.. Only problem is I don't get out much now (family commitments) so seeing your videos is a great way for me to still do it!!.. keep up the great work mate. 👍

    Just found your channel via someone else’s channel.. I have an LT35 and just browsing for some ideas. Owned the van for 8 years(I think) it’s a service van, compressor/electric genny in the back and shelving for tools, flood lights/vice etc. I intend to use it to travel to my Jag which is.. 500 odd miles from my home on Scotland.. I have been majorly distracted from both the van and Jag.. but have been in the van again of late … welding stuff it needs a lot of bodywork more than your van and Intend to fix my doors as good old ones are rare(like the mirror shrouds you mentioned) anyhoo have subbed and look forwards to watching and following your restoration channel.. best Malcolm/Fife/Scotland

    I'd think twice about the wooden decking on the roof, I've recently stripped a decking roof rack of a badly converted Transit Mk7 I bought recently, it's made the drive so much nicer without all that weight on the top.
