Thank you. It will never end up like that, firstly because I could never afford it but secondly and most importantly, because I believe that preserving history and stories is better than changing it all and replacing everything that has a story. Whether it's a dent where the cattle used to scratch their heads on the wing corners, or where my father in law caught a gate post
I like the fact that you are going to keep it's battle scars... Nothing like a mechanical sound Landy with honest patina.... *Mutton dressed up as Lamb* Landies doesn't do it for me.... Nice Landy, nice canopy... 🇿🇦 🤝🏻 🇿🇦
I have an old 110 purchased from a farm. Some farmers tend to be very hard on them and don’t look after them. I guess the are just machinery though. Good luck with it.
Thank you, and good luck with yours. My father in law did no general maintenance. He only worked on it to get through its MOT. Otherwise, it was heavily abused.
I ever owned 110 defender in 1994,after 7 years, i sold it to someone who willingly to keep this powerful monster, only the clutch system is so hard to push down,no other problema, love it.
On the whole, yes. You may have noticed the front wings were badly damaged, too much for new light surrounds. I hammered them out to accommodate new lights and surrounds, but the dents stay otherwise. It has been my father inlaws farm truck for 20 odd years, so when the cattle use a pannel to have an itch and dent it, it adds to the story (or he hits a fence). I want to be able to use it as a daily driver, so it does need to be somewhat smartened up.
Cool..an ex workhorse oneten..what are you planning with the one ten mate? Back to basic and standard or highly modified spec? Loved to see it back on basic classic but funtional verhicle.. cheers..
I have a highly modified Range Rover Classic already so this is going to be a standard (ish) basic 110. I will be keeping her character of a farm workhorse, leaving dent's in the panels but fixing or replacing broken and rotten parts. It was my father in laws farm truck for 20 years, so it has sentimental value as well. I want to see her back on the farm with the cattle at some point.
@@MicallefMade thats great my friend..i really love a land rover with history like this..keep us updated on the restoration..and keep it classic-ish as possible...cheers, greetings from Indonesia
That's the plan. Leave as many scars as possible to show its working life. The only dents or damage I will remove are those that prevent me from making it safe or fit replacement parts like the light surrounds that were brittle and broken. Part 2 will explain the plan better than this
Excellent work. Much better than the £100k rebuilds all over CZcams!

I'm rather hoping you only do what's absolutely necessary to make this Landy usable.

I want it to be able to tell a story without too much explanation

🤔
Is that, "I'm curious", "I'm not sure I like it", or "I find this interesting"? I am not sure which 🤔😂
🌹🇧🇭🇧🇭🤩🤩
Thank you
No le hizo mayores cambios.
Not on this 1st video, but I have been doing some major work that will be in the 2nd part
Eso se llama desarmar, no restaurar.
You have to start somewhere, watch part 2 to see some reassembling
