[@jamescheney5310]

The expression and posture of the wife/girlfriend/significant other leaning against the wall in the background when you were announcing your purchase was legendary.

[@stevebooker]

hahaha, this might be my favourite comment. She's on board with the resto, I promise. 😂

[@jamescheney5310]

Good thing that! I’ve done several Defenders, the secret is do one up for her first!

[@stevebooker]

Good advice! Definitely would love to do a defender too! Maybe next...

[@Nutjobdotcom]

Looking good Steve. The workshop never looked so tidy! And that welding, well what can I say!! Bring on week two!

[@stevebooker]

Cheers guys! I'm definitely better with the broom than the welder! 😉

The best bit for me besides the fact of how excited for you I am is you drinking instant coffee at 17:46 😂

Steve, never thought you would turn into the Land Rovers World... What a surprise... In fact, I started following Ben Brown because his Defender... And after you appeared on his videos I started to follow you... Now, at least for me, your videos are more interesting for me... Btw, I also own a RRC but Tdi. Best of lucks with this project. Video editing is awesome too! Cheers!!

[@stevebooker]

Hey Victor, haha, they've always been on my radar. It's just been about time and money really. Appreciate you've been following along for a while!

[@A1DJPaul]

You Should Have made a video To ask Which is the Best to buy ? What faults to Look for or Ask about. About every 1 to 2 years they made slight changes & improvements. The 1st Job is to Check all the body mounts for Corrosion, & the whole of the chassis for previous welding & Current rust. Bottoms of All 'A' 'B' & 'C' Pillars, & chassis outriggers. Front Floors & Bootfloor. Mainly the Front Bulkhead.

[@makrja]

Probably the best series out there. Massive fan.
