Is Bob Rotten?! Mad Ford Engineering Inspection | Land Rover Series 3 - Part 3

- Join us for a no-nonsense trip to Mad Ford Engineering, where we're putting Bob, our ex-British Army Series 3 Land Rover, under the microscope. Mick, a Land Rover specialist, leads the charge as we dive into Bob's chassis to root out any issues.
With Bob up on the lift, Mick wastes no time getting down to business. His keen eye and expertise ensure we don't miss a beat as we assess Bob's structural integrity. And while we're at it, we give Bob a once-over, noting any extra TLC he might need.
Mick doesn't just stop at inspection; he's already drafting up a list of tasks to get Bob back in top shape. His support is invaluable as we tackle this restoration project head-on.

So nice we could bring you guys together! MBGA!! Mexie trying to steal Bob the Show! hahaha
Thanks Koeppe, Mexie is certainly a character and loves the camera!
Well done boys, very cool
Well, cats and fords in the video, It’s about time boys. I look forward to seeing more.❤
The cats have made a few appearances over the last year..I'm a cat guy Trev (Dave). The fords however are a new ting!
Nice to have someone with the space and tools to work on them with/for you. Bob will be tidy in no time 👍
Absolutely, we will be able to do a lot more to Bob in the workshop than we could have ever hoped of on the drive!
Love the editing, very spot on! Mexi arrives right on time :D
Thanks! She loves the camera 😄
Excellent Video, At least bob is in good hands, Nice work lads!!
Thanks Hyper!
Land Rover beutiful
Crackin' video. Hope Bob didn't mind being exposed. Mick is a true natural in front of the camera and I think he will work his magic. Looking forward to learning more and I don't own a Landy!!
Mick is very natural isn't he! Bob's in good hands so definitely doesn't mind getting his bits out on camera 🤣
Mexie on it as always MBGA
She's a natural 😂 thanks for watching 🙂
Hello and Welcome cracking video fellas
Thanks for the comment and watching, much appreciated 👍🏻
great video, MBGA!
MBGA!!!
It's time MBGA!
MBGA! Thanks Ronan 👌👍
Great idea getting a thorough inspection carried out, I have seen very much worse! If you're in it for the long haul, a galvy chassis is the way to go at this point and the rest can be built on from there. I think you would be quite shocked if you stripped back all that heavy underseal- it will be more rotten than it appears and I speak from experience! Good repairs now will certainly give it a few more years though and it's how mine was kept going until I could afford the new chassis.
Bobs chassis is far from a gonner, still shiney black paint under the under coating , hes a minter
He is in really good condition considering. once the bad repairs are removed and re done properly with Micks support he will look ace.
We call him "Mad Mick" for a reason! ;-)
Hello Cole sir
That's exactly what he is saved as in my phone 😂
All pretty straight forward, the rear body will have to come off to replace the rear crossmember thats a pain, spring bushes can be fun, must have used gallons of OEP220 eg oil extreme pressure in my time, should be a good un.
Thanks for watching Peter, much appreciated 👍🏻
Good decision.
Thanks for watching Mark 👍🏻
Nice Pinkie, complete with one pintle GPMG.
GPMG yes, pintle no
@@MadFordEngineering How is it mounted, WMIK by any chance?
Generally reserved for a 50 Browning L1A1 HMG.
The 50 is mounted on a modifed GPMG naval mount@@gusgone4527
It's great isn't it!
Don’t people look at a vehicle before they buy it anymore? tax and MOT exemption do not stop vehicles from rotting away
Hey Angus, that would be far too sensible 😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What is the fitting on the end of the coil? @15:04.
the FFR land rovers are fitted with shielded systems to stop rogue RF signals, so the coil has a shield on it.
@@rustenuts That makes sense. Cheers.
Like I thought when I " Met Bob " . Not too bad at all . Just OLD .
We will give him the TLC he needs John, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍🏻
