Came for the boat content, and got some bonus car content. Being a car guy as well as a boat guy, you've made this viewer a happy guy! Thank you Peter 😅

[@JonathanChip25]

Landrovers and british beer! Life can't get better. Try pouring in a jug first and then into a glass! Takes the fizz out and turns it into a proper beer. Loving the content as always. Mobile, You're not just mobile you're Landrovering!

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Beer of the Day an my location is Darryl"s homebrew as always! CHEERS from HERE!!!

[@thomasvelure6237]

Always a good feeling to be Mobil again, been there done that.

[@johanbudin7470]

´La donna è mobile…´ but you are lucky to have lady Z : always lending you her car. Glad to see that your Land Rover is a 4x4 again, and at low cost ! Happy days. Best regards from Belgium, Johan

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Yes I am!

[@piervandermolen8658]

Tips from a shipwright has a setup for a planer with the corners of the blade rounded of so it doesn’t cut as much into the wood and you can more smoothly plane flat surfaces.

[@jimlepeu577]

Landlord is an excellent Yorkshire beer, I love it.

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

I'm happy you got the Land Rover fixed. I am on the hunt for a series 2.

[@caprovan]

After catastrophicizing on the mode of failure, it’s good to see the truck mobile with such a simple and relatively inexpensive solution.

[@harveypost1841]

Used to work under truck when much younger take a nap sumtimes.

[@harveypost1841]

But GOD BLESS U ....u saved the beer thought of shaking bottle but out fire.

[@spinosauruswearingboots4156]

Hi Peter, I remember seeing the bottle of Landlord in the store in your previous video. Can’t remember if I commented but very pleased you went back and got one glad you like it. I always go for Landlord when I see it on draft here in the UK. Although after a few there can be a problem with mobility! Cheers 🍻

[@rogrwileman358]

So glad about the Landie hopely the of good things to come onyou Peter

[@richardowen3622]

Hardwood floor sander with heavy grit pads, Has the dust collector built in, and you can rent them.

[@filipbruylant2021]

Well done with your Land Rover Peter 😊

[@t.tarkowski6653]

Mobile is a big improvement, good for you, Peter! That truck is simply amazing. Its a shame we can’t have production vehicles with that much character and capability in today’s market. I guess we do have the Cybertruck though. 🙄 If I won a Cybertruck in a contest I guess I could sell it and buy a Rover, right? Trucking, wrenching, cruising, we love your content!

[@rmojo23]

Glad you got the truck going and is mobile!

[@stco2426]

Good work on the truck. It is in lovely condition where it matters. It's neat that you can replace the rear shafts etc with the wheels on. Also it looks like you're happy with the way to sort out the cabin roof. As you sand you might find places where more involved work is necessary, either through water ingress or other problems. You might be able to deal with these with CPES as necessary but it liiks like you have have a plan!

[@michaellovell9625]

If what ever is on the roof is bonded as good as you said I think your solution to sand the roof smooth and just go over it sounds the easiest and quickest. I was glad to hear you say you were going to change the differential oil in the Rover. I think I would pull the hub on the side of the failed axle flang and clean the bearings of any metal fillings from the failed flange. It is always nice to be mobile again in your own vehicle . Until next week be safe but have fun. 🛥🇺🇸

[@JohnJensenArtist]

You have stood up pretty well to being MOBILE disadvantaged. Must be a great relief to be MOBILE again.

[@peterbrandt9725]

Good news on both the Land Rover and the cabin top. Well done on all you have achieved. Thanks again for the channel.

[@tomlpdx]

Good to hear you are mobile again in the Land Rover. I'm still getting caught up on past episodes but I have to admit that I am loving your channel. Cheers!

[@michellepaperchaser]

Your diligence and perseverance are commendable - I suspect more than one beer of the week will be raised in congratulatory celebrations for you. May the mobile odds be ever in your favor

[@normanboyes4983]

Landlord is a rather excellent beer with the advantage of keeping you mobile.😉

[@christopherberry9496]

loving the rover content! Takes me back to riverport rovers!

[@AlisonFort]

Great to get the Landy going - glad you liked my favourite beer❤

[@milt7348]

Stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@richardgould240]

So glad you got your Land Rover sorted, you will soon be mobile 🚙.

[@uio890138]

Excellent episode sir!!

[@TrapShooter68]

Peter, you are a man of many talents. A true polymath!

[@petterandersson7429]

Looks like you found a solution that works for you. 😂😂❤❤😂😂

[@DougYoung-vd8vw]

Great call on the cabin top. Glad to see you are mobile again!!

[@RenegadeADV]

Glad to see the rover running again Peter. I used that same sander to strip the bottom on my boat, it is a good piece of kit. Seems like it is going to be your best bet there.

[@stephenfreeman8617]

Good to see your mobile again👏👏I’m going to chase some of that beer in my local store 👍

[@Drenov]

I'm back and finally caught up. Fantastic to see the Landrover running and you are mobile again.

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment, fantastic to see the land rover up and running. Well done Peter.

[@atb1325]

Glad to see you got the truck fixed! Good call on just sanding what you need on the cabin top as well.

[@rchuyck]

Its always such a good feeling when a project goes together smoothly. Well done on the Land Rover, now the same success on the water rover, Geordie!

[@tomkellum6754]

Yes, why take the bonded cabin top off? Sand it smooth as you need and go on. Fixing the damage area will take you plenty of time. Well sure is fitting that you found the real problem with rover things are looking up for you! Take care, Tom

[@pepperjake44]

Happy to see the Rover fix was relatively minor and that you are once again mobile. Excellent pour on the beer. Cheers!!

[@TheBeer4me]

Mobile hmm i really like the Land Rover the back drop is just awesome!

[@dlfendel2844]

It occurs to me you could take the OLD parts from the Rover and, well, make yourself a very Calder-esque....mobile themed to mobility! SO glad things are getting fixed up!

[@chrissturgeon1571]

Is this the opposite of what Mr. Zimmerman was talking about: "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again? I hope your Spring is blue and warm; time to hit the road!

[@danacoyle1826]

Kinda looks like your doing both sides love just love your hammer lol cheers Peter

[@wimmol]

Nice to see the Landrover back in action . Even when it's only needed to transport yourself and materials to and from the boatshed . I don't live on my boat , or at least not in wintertime . It's about a 40km trip to my boat and for the return obviously the same . Wouldn't know what to do without my campervan .

[@Followingseasmarine]

Great Episode Peter! I watched it while I was mobile heading down river in my boat!

[@patrickcwillis]

Being mobile is a requirement for doing good work these days. Congratulations!!

[@skipbaker529]

Glad to see you mobile on land and sea! Your versatility always amazes me. Cheers!

[@grendel1960a]

glad you have your wheels back under you, had you considered a belt sander for the roof

[@phdconstructioncork]

Hopefully the content will improve with your Landy back on its feet Peter. Looking forward to the cabin/sides renovation on Geordie.

[@Dubhain82]

Love it.

[@Pinworthy]

Test the paint for LEAD and use a chemical striper like pick one. The gels work great. They strips latex and oil-based paint, varnish, lacquer and shellac from wood, metal and masonry surfaces. I'm sure it will be the fastest way to get it off.

[@daniellawson9302]

Glad to hear that you're mobile again. I personally would have swapped it out with a Dana 60. It's much more durable and easier to get parts for, including an air-locker. About MV Geordie, I'm glad you won't need to replace the roof to get that coating off. I suggest a 40-grit disk as that will make the stripping faster. Then you could repair the cabin corners and move on to the cabinsides. I wish you all of the luck in this endeavor and can't wait to see MV Geordie beautiful and cruising again. That beer sounds amazing! I'll have to see if it's available in my area. That's just the type of beer I like.

[@tomdale1313]

another "GREAT" content packed episode, thxs for sharing...

[@jamesglass367]

Iam so glad that the rover is getting fixed and a new gas tank dam peter you are going to be mobile again thank you jesus

[@barrykarow906]

Rent a floor sander if you choose to go the sanding route. Good to see the Rover fully functional again.

[@seanmorrissey3103]

That's a great idea... those things will take off anything, and the wide belt means less time and less gouging of the wood.

[@sailingtheworld2021]

It is good that you are getting MOBILE again with the land rover fix

[@tammywilkins4653]

Majestic device that connects us all, On a path of innovation, never to fall. Brightening our lives with a screen so clear, Intertwining our world through wireless cheer. Limitless possibilities within your grasp, Enabling communication with just one clasp.

[@allan8004]

Hi Peter, watching the trials with that cabin top I do agree that a heavy sand would suffice where the existing material is bonded so well to the plywood, however I think I know your methods enough to suggest you really want it gone, sail boat restorers like Mads from "Sailing Life" channel use a tool that can strip the gelcoat right of and down to the fiberglass for osmoses treatment, anyone can hire these I think, maybe worth a look if your not happy till it's all gone, All the very best from Aus, Al

[@maxiemills6982]

I realize that there is a lot of working going on on the outside of the boat but I wouldn't mind seening a little "mo bil...ge" when you get back down to the bottom! LOL

[@foodandsleep2417]

set your circular saw to the depth that equals the bonded layer then make longitudinal score marks about an inch apart on the cabin roof. use the multi tool to go between the scores removing the top layer then sand it all down with way fewer expensive disks

[@Djdj-kd8ue]

Beings that's bonded so well why are you taking it off?

[@pekevin1599]

Floor sander maybe? Rent big one for bulk of the top?

[@jeffk7017]

Was just thinking the same thing. Rent a floor sander.

[@tomd4137]

many years ago, at least 15+, i had to do the same with my cruiser. i found it easier to just cut the old plywood off and replace with new. while looking for way to cover the new wood i found an old-time boat restorer/sailor that showed me a way to cover the plywood not with canvas or fiberglass but with plastic window screen and industrial pipe/steam pipe coating. i bought a gallon he recommended; it was like a thick paste. i can't remember the name of the product or where i got it. as instructed i stapled the screen down with ss staples and spread this paste, it was more like a real thick paint, on the screen. it dries really hard. i put down two coats, sanded down the rough spots and painted. it's never leaked and looks as good as the day i put it down after all these years.

[@Zetsucat]

you could try a scotch-brite clean & strip disc on an angle grinder (just get an off brand). I used it to strip over a mm of paint of my boat. It makes a mess though, i caged myself in with plastic and a gasmask.

[@jeffreylord8172]

you can buy 6inch / 150mm sanding disc with 6 holes for vacuum collecting the dust. i seem to remember they went to 40#, you could also try a floor sanding edge sander these use 178mm or 7", resin fibre sanding discs, which range from 16# to 120#, . the sanding discs you are using are excellent but you do pay a high price for them, . 1 other machine you could try is a paint remover , it is similar to an angle grinder but it has a bottom plate with carbide cutters that are designed to remove paint but not damage the substrate, i believe they are designed to remove 0..3 mm at a time with some adjustment available ,with the area you have they may be a viable alternative. builders hire shops may have them.

[@mySeaPrince_]

Maybe skimming the roof with the planer.. could possibly rough the old blades like a fine saw tooth, use angle grinder with harsh flappy disc (a side note.. have you seen the wavey blades they give a ripple effect) then sand? I would test to see if the resin you will be using reacts or sticks.. with the old. Did you look at the silicon oil additive for the differential?

[@samfuller6273]

Now that you're mobile, you can make longer boat videos.

[@steveburke7675]

...nothing like being under the truck on your back in the gravel and realizing...it's fixed!

[@glennsmith6108]

Try a drum hard wood floor Sander, i have remove heavy build coatings with one igpf those.

[@BrianMDIY]

@5:43 que Borat "great success!".

60 or 80 grit flapper wheel on grinder

[@DaveWithANikon]

🎶"I can pull up by the curb I can make it on the road Peters Mobile I can stop in any street Invite in people that we meet Peters Mobile Keep me moving, mmm"🎶

[@patrickjernigan1025]

Glad your mobile Peter that fiberglass problem you've got that figured out sand it down with 80 grit that will work you don't need to strip it all off just make it adhere anywhere where that wood is rotten dried out as much as you can and then use wood hardener to strengthen it if it's not stained underneath don't replace it use Marine Bondo not Automotive Bondo because Automotive Bondo is porous and will allow moisture to continue to work its way into your project so vinyl Ester chloride is the way to go then use regular fiberglass if that's what you wish to use otherwise I would stick with your tried and true two-part epoxy as I said you can mix color with that so it's not just clear coat but like gelcoat any color in the rainbow you mix with that clear epoxy you can use it and spread it out use a heat gun to make it glossy

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Great advice Patrick.

[@rodney3080]

Hey Peter, long shot here. How about one of those large walk behind sanders used for refinishing hardwood floors? I’ve rented one in the past and it was not bad to lift up and set down wherever I wanted to use it. It sure made short work of those old floors though. Cheers! Rodney.

[@jonocharles1046]

Great to see below a S3 as it's been a while for me. Built over 50 of these in my time and currently building a 90.. Enjoyed seeing the axle oil weep onto the wheel rim. They all did this at shaft change. Used to jack them up real high on the work end, and a rag on the rim! It turned pretty smart one handed on the test drive, have you PAS on that? Anyway. Good as ever.

[@jeffreylord8172]

Just had an EPITHANY, , CLEAN AND STRIP DISCS, these are like scotch brite scourer, on steroids, they will strip the paint off metal but not abrade the metal, you do need to be careful on timber though. Available from100mm to178mm, Worth looking at.

[@CaptainKevHaurakiGulf]

Peter so strange how we are drawn to similar interests I had series 3 ute and I like boats..guy has a channel Dangar marine he has steel workboat and yes you guessed it a series 3 station wagon yup i was born in 62 as well

[@saltydawg1793]

When I owned a woodie Grand Banks 42, if I was refinishing an exterior area and the existing covering was well bonded, I simply sanded to smooth and recoated. Why is it so important to remove that well-bonded cabin top covering? Well, I should have just kept watching because I see that reason has crept into your method. :) :)

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

It's good to see the LR is once again mobile. Did you think to try the paint stripper idea note cabin top - or do you have any comment on that? I'm glad to see that you have a way forward at least.

[@alhowry6548]

It could be overkill but are you familiar with a floor sander used to refinish house wood floors for your cabin top? They come in a variety of sizes as well as the sanding media choices.

[@Vagabond1209]

Peter - have you considered 40grit sanding, not to remove, but just to prep for bonding Fiberglas cloth with epoxy. I’ve had good luck with this method

[@JohnJensenArtist]

16 or even 24 grit is going to be much faster and goes further (saving cost) For this sort of work I would call 80 grit "super fine".

[@jerriwebb8031]

hardwood floor sander

[@victorremick9721]

Stressful

[@timothybryan5113]

Just an insane wild thought. What if you put a bit of the stripper you used on the windlass on the deck and see what happens. I’m talking about paint stripper here. I don’t know nothing about any other strippers you may have used on your boat. No judgement here.

[@paulcunninghame7225]

So why did the splines strip in the first place? Do you know what you have to do to stay mobile! Would a belt sander with coarse paper be quicker than the disc?

[@dbriggs1689]

40 grit belt sander.

[@harveypost1841]

My rear ends happy..

[@geoffsloman9179]

Just a thought, but have you tried paint stripper / nitromors to see whether that would work?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Good point. Going to give it a try.

[@mikevogdes3940]

How about an upright hardwood floor sander and an edger? Could be had at a equipment rental yard.

[@mikevogdes3940]

[@loubonaparte5063]

PETER... I have that same Bosch. Love Abranet, BUT NOTHING and I mean NOTHING compares to Cubtron discs from 3m.. They DO NOT fill up, meaning you can use one for a dog's age and then use a sander eraser block and those ceramic Cubitron particles will be as good as new.. CUBITRON.. TRUST ME!!!! best discs going.... they defy logic. last forever and eat through anything.

[@nelsoncockrum5528]

I see you are not current on under Rover work, what you need as a ground cover is a used political sign (corrugated plastic sheet), better than a creeper slides very easy, cleans nice and can be cut to the bed size so no loss transport.

[@downunderprojects9322]

Hi Peter, I'm guessing someone must have mentioned this already but would Paint Stripper get you out of trouble on the deck? I've used a product called peel away which worked well and contained the mess. It should at least get you down to a surface that is acceptable??? for what it's worth I just replaced my locking hubs on my 2002 Landcruiser Troopy to keep me mobile.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

That's a good point. Such a large area though. I'll give it a try.

[@harveypost1841]

I'm having fun this 5th turned 74 on 4th...a control burn..then sit in row boat after setting fire to boat then shed...what the hell hav I done..

[@stephanking5941]
