BURIED For 25 YEARS!! WE DIG IT OUT!! | IMSTOKZE - Time-lapse

[@JR90.]

When I see vehicles like this, I always think, at some point, that was a brand new car that somebody absolutely adored. I think about all the memories that were made, the places she took her owners... Great video, Stu and props to you for digging through that jungle! You just never know what's in the bushes.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

A few good bits but straight to the scrap yard

[@alankershaw3215]

That is too far gone for the average person .Someone with extremely deep pockets and the time with a workshop could possibly save it. But what a great effort by yourself to reveal it from the undergrowth .Well done . Great video.

[@User-pf6wg]

Good morning everyone

[@suzannewhiting623]

Morning Stu. Another great video, but heart-breaking for you 😭 I love a bit of time lapse, more of this please 🙂 Have a great day and DLY 💜

[@delscorey8727]

Great video...Great bit of graft as well...poor old range...cheers

[@sambolton1970]

Stu it's all about hard work and determination..... one day someone will be watching you drive down the road in a RR and be smiling thinking "I wish I had that in my life". Keep positive brother 👍

[@ImStokze]

Thanks brother, 💯 agree with what you're saying, Thanks dude

[@mikeyoakes180]

Stu! Well done for all you work clearing it! Such a shame it’s that bad tho!

Another great video Stu, My dad had two classic Range rovers in the late eighties and nineties great cars 👍

Absaloutly brilliant video stokzey ❤👍 that's crazy all that foliage OMG crazy ppl brilliant

[@davidkinson6610]

Great find. Shame about it's condition, but there again it has been buried for a long time.

[@thecarguychannel]

Hats off to you. The effort made by you to try and salvage this Range Rover was excellent! Great content! You will get a Old Range Rover one will come your way all in good time. Great effort! 😊

[@richardetheridge9145]

Great video what a gorgeous truck it still is. I’d personally say as the door didn’t fall off when you opened it get it bought and restore it. I am completely nuts though my sd1 was twice as bad and I got it solid again

[@ImStokze]

Tbh i'm the same look at mabel she was worse, Cheers bud

[@DillyDillydave5399]

my restoration heart is always broken with what you find my soul gets destroyed each time i watch i rescue and fix the iconic rd 350lc and ypvs bikes so trust me your got to watch discoveries are emotional dont stop and remember nothing is done while it still has the bones love and respect

[@adamk7298]

I'm new to your channel mate and am really liking your content. Well done for doing great videos. How you talked about wanting a classic range rover and not asking for a Lamborghini etc will resonate with a lot of people and came across very honest and real. Great video. Subscribed.

2:46 here we see a Wild stokes In his natural habitat 👉🏻 Honestly that line stu "I'm 20 years too late "touched my heart tbf an I remember saving up £350 it's not much but I was after a Relian Robin sat in a drive for 27 years I asked the guy a bunch said it's not for sale an it was too far gone fibreglass broken frame dead so I was too late too I'm 22 years plenty of time

[@ImStokze]

Natural habitat 😂 loved that, and yes 20 years too late, I feel for you bud, it's heartbreaking, you either get it, or you don't, us car people are a strange bunch abd I'd have it no other way, Thanks mate

[@sidsxr3irestoration]

Great video stu she is in a poor state. In the right hands somebody would bring her back to life 👍

[@G4RY1159]

A GOOD weekends work getting her back in good shape fella. You can get disks for Yur strimmer rather than the wire, Pretty certain you'll be aware of that. Thanks again man.

Good morning Stokze & all.

Morning bud

[@nigelstolic2707]

Looking at its Current Condition it’s only fit for spare parts as you say with the Cylinder off that engine it’s going to be toast being honest the body is going to be so rotten it’s a Spares only car but you should be able to buy it cheaply .. 16:20 16:20 it’s an 1981 vehicle I’ve checked so it’s 42 years old … but having being parked in Damp undergrowth since 1998 I’d of thought not only the Body but it’s chassis would be well rotted too …

[@Theorangeman.]

Best left alone to rust in peace. Still looks stronger than the titanic sub tho

[@stevesmith9351]

😂

[@diyandmetaldetecting]

Great video, as always ...you can get a metal bladed attachment for the Strimmer, which slice those brambles would be a good investment if you get permission to do another car that's buried. Now on to watching Sundays video 😅😊

Are you going to restore her

[@bigwally123]

Stu absolute banger of a video mate ,😅really hope you get a 4.5% sponsor 😂 keep em coming don't limit yourself

[@Munter1]

Ffs Stokzey what are you up to now? I don’t know which is the biggest basket case you or Range Rover? The bloke should be paying you to get rid of it! The only useful part would be the gearbox but only because the diesels were easier on the drive train than the more powerful 3.5 4.0 and 4.6 engines. There’s better ones out there it’s just a case of finding one that can realistically be restored, you never know after this vid someone might get in touch. Might of been a better idea to wait till late summer take your kids up there to pick some blackberries. That said it was an interesting and entertaining video so please keep them coming.😊

[@ImStokze]

😂😂 You're certainly not wrong, i am defo a basket case haha, Tbh trying to create content for my audience has taken me to some strange places and had me doing even stranger things, If it entertains you, Well then i must be doing something right as thats what its about, The love for my audience, So thanks so much for watching,

[@marcjenkins1520]

Hi Stu, I know where there are a load of land rovers including a series 3 lightweight, a few Fords including a Focus RS, a mercedes w126 and w114/5, a vw fastback and a 50's army truck all in the same area.

[@ImStokze]

Wow!! Sounds like my kind of place!

[@marcjenkins1520]

I never realised how many abandoned cars there were around that area.

[@stuarthandley7102]

well worth the effort but a sad ending to far gone keep trying mate you will get your ideal landrover one day with your effort you put in keep up the good work imstokze 🚗🚗🚗

[@neilmustow368]

One of the first 4 door Range Rover's X Reg 1981 82 Stu probably spares for this Rangie seats and dashboard look in great nick

[@ImStokze]

Yeah, I was thinking that myself, definitely a parts car, unfortunately

[@stephenyoung1506]

Good video stu pity to far gone for you to save it thou

[@owensteele1645]

2400 Turbo Diesel apparently, not the usual 3500 V8 petrol. The last owner had purchased this on Tuesday 23rd May in 1995, according to the CarVertical site. There's no MOT history though, for some reason.

[@ImStokze]

Awesome, thanks for the digging bud. It helps out heaps cheers

[@charlesschulz8416]

My uncle had 2 range rovers back in the 80s i recall one was 6 and the other was a v8 what you got there would be a good parts car for another resto or a daily driver

You need better equipment with you to do that you need a chainsaw as well very good get a couple of people with you to get that down in no no sweat all the brambles and all that lot it’s a really old one. How cold is it even got a light guards on it as well? ❤❤❤

Was a VM turbo diesel

😢Morning stu, to be honest mate, was enjoying your post but soon as you opened the door 😢I was gutted for you wasn't expecting it to be brilliant but it looked really bad wouldn't like to think about underneath it 😢

Be careful friend when going on private land just like that time you saw that lovely Volvo saloon and that guy gave you the finger,hope you didn’t get your tyres slashed😃😃😃😃🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@carmadmatt9050]

Its definitely saveable but youve got to think whether its economical to repair. I got given a citroen ax (doesnt really compare to a range) but im not sure thats worth saving

[@girlingrey3235]

Nearly at 40K Stokze 🤩

[@ImStokze]

[@kindelvanterpool1417]

Well Stokze, this one is a sad case it’s just crying 😢 just sitting there and going to just crumble and rotten for ever, I’d hate to tell yah Sto, but there is no saving that I’d say. Man and it’s turbo charged as you mentioned 😢jeese the poor thing.

I could ov give ya hand with that i do it every day at work .petrol hedge cutter wood be better and metal cutting disc on end ov strimmer.

[@mitchrankin3825]

Great content again! I love classic Range Rovers are too. Just unfortunate the RR is so rough as it’s one of the very early 1981 4 door versions which look as if it’s had a 2.4VM diesel transplanted at some time. This makes a first year of production 4 door version. I restored a 1984 4 door and wish I never sold it! On the plus side this one is relatively complete excepting the engine. It is saveable, but it just needs deep pockets 😂.

[@ImStokze]

😂Yes I agree very deep pockets, definitely way to deep for me to even consider

[@PillSharks]

Yep, I noticed the VM heads sat in the back. Not the best engine ever fitted to a Range Rover! I think they were first used around 1987/88 so definitely a conversion. I suppose it was better than the York diesel or Perkins many had fitted back in the day.. as always with Land Rover they’ve always left it too late with advancing and by the time the TDI engines were around sales had dropped because of the shit they’d been fitting like the VM and Turbo D 19j!! Customers had really had enough by that point. Such a shame the company was run by assholes which is still the case today.

[@robholland1937]

Been there done that. Don’t bother. You’ll need deep pockets 😅

[@stephenbibby8650]

I owned a classic RR in exactly that colour in the mid 90’s . I loved that car it was so comfortable and practical. The downside was it was a complete money pit , it almost bankrupt me . The build quality was appalling and the mpg was around 12 miles per gallon on red leaded petrol. Regrettably I think your example is beyond saving. Let her r.i.p

[@deantarry-t1x]

Definitely a money pit❤

[@alasdairvincent6248]

That old girl is in a sorry state, which would count as a brave restoration. Alternatively this vehicle would be a good source of spares for owners of similar ones. An interesting video though.

[@steventomkinson5228]

Stokesy you can film my Citroen Ds23 garagefind for the channel if you want, it’s in a lock up and it’s been completely dismantled

[@owensteele1645]

I thought the rubber tray on the top centre of the dash would mark this out as a 1983 model. This is indeed a 1981 car but maybe it had this feature fitted to it by a dealership in its early life, to modernise it. Previously it would have been just a grille.

[@garethbird4259]

That's a shame Stu, it looked OK until you opened the door! Great effort mate but she's a goner 😢
