Loving it. After that rebuild, a good roof rack, a roof tent, a set of BF Goodrich tyres and then overland around the UK, to test the new equipment!!! 😄😄
Good seeing an old Type 2 still earning its keep. I had a ‘71 for 21 years and once hauled many loads of brick and granite with it down on the suspension stops.
Great progress! Awesome to see you getting involved and getting your hands a dirty too, it's one thing to have an old car recommissioned, it's a completely different experience if you're there helping it all come together. Can't wait for Ep-3, keep it up.
Those lads sure know what they are doing and its great to see you mucking in but not trying to be clever. Nowt wrong with asking silly questions! A bit surprised the chassis was not dropped out and sent off for blasting and coating / painting. For sure the body mounts will need replacing. Just having done so much great work that surprise me. Not saying its wrong but .... Subbed and liked!
Me, don’t own a car, don’t even like cars, enjoying the hell out of this series! 🥰✨🌈 missed ya Steve! Hope all is well! Enjoying your new hobby with ya 💙 (Maybe come summer a bicycle restoration could be fun😉) 🚲
Great job Steve! Loving the series. I bought a 93 RRC last year and went through most of the same steps you are going through now. Great seeing the progress and thanks for saving another one of these wonderful cars.
Great job again man, great to see you doing most of the work! It's a great experience to take a car apart, brake lines are always a pain! It's going to look amazing when done, you should enter it In a concourse when it's done to showcase your hard work
Cheers Ben, really appreciate that. I’m definitely trying to chip in and learn as much as I can and loving it but the guys are the hero’s. I’d be lost without them! Thanks for following along with the series. Concourse would be awesome too!
@@stevebooker give yourself more credit a lot of these youtubers who feature car content have never held a spanner never mind do the dirty work like cleaning the rust off a diff, big respect to you, I recently changed the clutch on my car took me ages and had to do it outside ! So good job, look forward to the next installment
Trying to rebuild my 89 RRC but having a hard time finding replacement sheet metal parts? Are you able to point me where I can buy them or find item for that matter? Sweet build!
You should have bought new innerwings. At Froggatts. Keeping original steel, haha. Its now a complete puzzle under the bonnet. Take yje wings off and fit new innerwings.
New wings are patent wings and the fit is never as good as original, you can spend days faffing around with trying to get the the fit like the original. This is a restoration so we are trying to keep as much of the original vehicle as possible. In terms of a puzzle under the bonnet, this isn’t patch welded, it’s rebuilt so it will have the same look as it did when it came out of the factory, not a puzzle. Keep following along and watch the progress on this to see what I mean.
Loving the videos Steve. Would love if you included costings, if it's not being nosey. Purchase price + labour + parts, would be good to get some idea, for anyone thinking of doing something similar. I can only imagine there are some pretty big bills. I just bought a very good condition 2002 L322, but it's still going to cost me €2,500 - €3,000 to do little bits to the body and change some lights and interior bits. Good luck with the rest of the project.
Cheers Ed, glad you’re enjoying the series. Good luck with the L322. Costings are definitely something I can look into sharing when the project is finished.
Loving this Steve! What’s the goal at the end keep it or sell it? Wanna see you convert a van that would be my dream and just travel and film but brexit happened 😂
Thanks so much Dan! The goal at the end is to definitely keep it, it’s one of my dream cars. It will be converted into something pretty cool involving coffee also! So keep an eye out 😉
Cheers Piet, glad you’re enjoying it! You’re right the original colour is a gold colour, the official name is “Roman Bronze” but that’s all changing. Thanks for following along
Steve is like the annoying nephew trying to learn about cars for his school assignment. Im only joking Steve, loving the series mate. The aesthetic of it all is AMAZING. 3D Range Rover???? WHAT
I’m totally joking mate I’ve been here with a previous car of mine and it’s thoroughly enjoyable watching someone else enjoy it as much as I did. Enjoy! (I think you’re Brighton based too? If so it’s great to see some local creators!)
Coming along! Enjoying this series 👍🏻
Found your vlog via Sam’s STG Channel. Enjoying catching up with this restoration & quality content! 👍
Great Video Steve! Looks like a great project!
Loving it. After that rebuild, a good roof rack, a roof tent, a set of BF Goodrich tyres and then overland around the UK, to test the new equipment!!! 😄😄
Hell yeah! That would be amazing! Thanks for watching
Or the bike rack to take his cross country cycling to the next level! So many possibilities ✨✨✨
I love the interactions with the guys from the shop, you three are doing a great job!!
Good seeing an old Type 2 still earning its keep. I had a ‘71 for 21 years and once hauled many loads of brick and granite with it down on the suspension stops.

Great progress! Awesome to see you getting involved and getting your hands a dirty too, it's one thing to have an old car recommissioned, it's a completely different experience if you're there helping it all come together. Can't wait for Ep-3, keep it up.

Ah really appreciate that Ben, clutch change must have been a job! Thanks again for your comments!
These mechanics are excellent. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer of them.

We’re making great progress! There should be 8 episodes in total. Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve been waiting for this one🎉
Cheers Connor, appreciate that! Thanks for following along with the series! 🙌🏻
Really interesting. I realize I bought my first new Land Rover before you were born. Then I was about your age.
Loving this Steve! What’s the goal at the end keep it or sell it? Wanna see you convert a van that would be my dream and just travel and film but brexit happened 😂

@@stevebooker is it a giro wagon now Steve? Haha love the series tho mate! You have inspired me to visit Canada when I can mate to film some vlogs
Enjoying the series. Is the original color
a type of gold or is that the lighting?
Cheers Piet, glad you’re enjoying it! You’re right the original colour is a gold colour, the official name is “Roman Bronze” but that’s all changing. Thanks for following along
Can you ask (Jazz?) what happened to his red Retro Camper hoodie?
Jazz cut the pocket off because it kept getting caught on things
great
Cheers David! Glad you liked it

Jealous of all the VW s they have around
That’s not half of them, they’ve got some gems hidden away too!
First…?
You got it! 💪🏻
