Land Rover Restoration Part 17 - Galvanised Chassis

[@CROKERvsRover]

Looking for parts 1-16? They lurk on my original channel kzbin.info/aero/PLNR9e5gIAR0ep6TiEuqNJB_I1ohTZ4bg_

[@MrTapanes]

I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I just found this channel today and loved the content. Why the new channel?

[@Jagermonsta]

Like Mr T below, I'm wondering why there's a new channel, seems weird to continue an existing series on a different channel and not announce it on the old channel?

Just about to start tearing down my ‘77 109 that’s been parked up for 10 years after also taking me around nz for a few years before that. Came across your videos and did double take at the accent. Had finally decided would have chassis thermal arc sprayed now you have me second guessing HDG again. Awesome videos mate!

[@TheChupacabra]

Why the new channel?? I almost never got to see the end of this movie? Glad I stumbled across the new channel via a lucky search!

[@Taylor314T5]

Totally missed the redirect to the new channel. I’ve been missing your updates. Can’t wait to catch up

[@JeffJeffTM]

I hear fresh comments help new channels grow.

I made the mistake of trying to describe why this channel is so good to my wife. Her blank stare was clearly questioning my sanity.

[@Stu_2112]

Worry not, you're not alone.

[@kenrushing7945]

I tired explaining why I wanted to dip my chassis to my wife and she said "no" and I got the WTF look...she didn't buy the "but Geoffrey did it", argument. I feel ya

[@tonybaggett1984]

Some things in life must be experienced and not explained to understand. Geoffrey Coker videos are one of these things,

[@DawnBriarDev]

I just made my wife watch it. She understands now.

[@Chau083]

I've literally been rewatching old vids to pass the time till the new content arrives . And today, my patience was rewarded. So happy your back. Thanks for all the vids.

[@TheoBrandt]

Yay!!! Between you and the Tally ho ship restoration my KZbin life is complete. Yours is funnier tho.

[@lku421]

I was waiting for the part where you said you would paint it, luckily that moment came.

[@tslater1989]

So, my adhd said, "hey, remember that guy. Funny accent, does stuff like you do in the barn?" Well after getting distracted way too many times along the way, I found you. This time I remembered to subscribe too.

[@Jonay1990]

can't believe I've been waiting over year for an update and I finally found your alt channel 🤦‍♂ love it all, looking forward to catching up with the rest!

[@pabsocs]

I could not get over here quick enough!!

[@corinkayaker]

My nephew spat at me at mothers day lunch this weekend that there was a new Croker video. He really does hate you! anyhow his loss my gain. looking forward to watching after work!

[@robj2704]

Impressed with your chassis preservation. So many restorers just don't put enough effort into rust-proofing.

[@johnloizos3902]

Epic conclusion! Time to put stuff back on.

[@koolkar55]

Very happy you're back. Cheers Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

Its about bloody time Croker!😉

[@simonhughes9472]

It’s so great that you are back Geoff! The world was such a dark and empty place while you were gone. But now you are back and with two KZbin channels, so double the goodness! And a dedicated Landrover channel as well, heaven! I didn’t realise you had spent 9 months cloning yourself! Wonderful! 😀 Thank you both for coming back and saving us all from depression!

Remember guys,theres always a "bitter way" to do stuff. I Love this channel! :D

yes yes yes a new video I feel like the same feeling when there was a new video of Binky🤣

Looking forward to part 19! Hurry up 🤣

[@johndavies6253]

Mr Croker, sir, you are a legend!!! Thank you for your videos, I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed every one!

[@caseyrobnett100]

Awesome that your back! Looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@zukowski2023]

Wow, nice job and looks like it was some what "expensive". Looks great and looking forward to see the rebuild from the ground up. Thanks for the share Sir. Stay Safe and welcome back to the internet! Cheers!

[@deanecarson2837]

How did I miss this?!!!! Enjoyed your thorough approach. We have 2 chassis that will simply get epoxy paint. Fuel prices and 2.6l motors mean they won't be regular drivers. Shed stored. Progress continues on the FC and SIII. Yesterday I made a hash of the T seals. Ignoring your advice and trying to use a feeler gauge. FFS. Luckily I have spare Cork seals. That don't fit. FFS. Anyway great to see your chassis done. I look forward to that milestone feeling with mine.

[@meymoto4810]

I literally gasped when I saw you post on the other channel. So glad to have you back.

[@bobdufresne6294]

Glad to see you back on the rover Mr. Croker

[@demonic477]

I've done 2 frame up restorations in my life and this is my favorite part the point were it all go's back together .before this all the work was on nasty rusted steel and now all the clean shiny restored or new stuff go's on it's so much fun and a bit exciting well it is for me but I'm a mechanic and a car nut so Ya.

[@ABadManinLondon]

Welcome back, and thanks for this video!!!

[@ramleeansyah9791]

Nice Videos ..... I,am not a mechanic, by watching your videos help me to litel bit understand, about the landy .... your's exsplanation it's very details i like it.

[@nategracie808]

I’m so stinking happy this is on. What a fantastic way to start the weekend. Hopefully we get more content before next year…lol

[@xdrfan]

What a nice surprise! I’ll watch both channels.

[@davidtaylor6124]

Good to have you back! Satin black looks good.

[@richardhogben3776]

Awesome video as always, Funny, entertaining and informative

[@peterwarner8541]

Chassis looks great. My defender had been waxoyled twice and whenever you do any work underneath you get covered in it for weeks afterwards. Paint is the way to go and will be what I use on my next project if it has a chassis.

[@batbawls]

I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thanks.

[@johno9525]

I absolutely love your videos. Not only the themes but the overall production and soundtrack 🥰 the amount of time dedicated to each video must be mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯 please never stop doing these....... ever.

So glad your back. What a journey you've been on with this vehicle hahaha...the joys of a Land Rover... ;)

[@scottbrown173]

Great to see the chassis coming together.

[@NathanNostaw]

Good to have you back. I think going for a land rover channel is a good idea, even though I love your other videos anyway. I never would have guessed the acid dipping was that expensive. Crazy high cost. Must have been gutting to find rust and other imperfections after the galv. I once had LR rims dipped, but the drips we so insanely thick in all the profiles I had to blowtorch and wire brush them out, forcing me to paint them.

[@simonjohn9368]

Stoked to see you back at it. 🇨🇦

It's all downhill from here, am really pleased to see you've survived the last two years. 👍

[@geoffpranger4002]

This is awesome. Im glad you're back on this project. I mentioned before, im a big defender fan and will probably never own one myself. They are stupid expensive here in the US. Your videos allow me to see the details of this truck as if i had one. Plus I like Auto restoration projects. I have several happening myself. Good work!

[@malcolmphillips3298]

Brilliant - glad to see you back.

[@barthanes1]

That may be the most bulletproof chassis I've ever seen. Short of remaking it out of stainless, I think you've done the best that can be done.

[@jozsefizsak]

Outstanding production and wonderful wit. I have no recollection of subscribing to your original channel but I'm grateful to who or whatever entity is somehow responsible. It's most likely divine intervention but I can't be completely certain.

[@bryangrimshaw5607]

Good to see a relevant kiwi video. thanks I live in CHC and I have an old Rover P4 that has a similar chassis. so I'm going to run into the same kind of issues. I'm not actually sure if we have dip stripper on the main land but you made a good 'real video.

[@Mike-nc3ke]

Fantastic to see an update on this project! Cant wait to see it start coming together.

[@susanprice9316]

HI geoffrey, I had my sankey trailer chassis dipped 6mm thick and some of it 10mm. When it came back it had egg sized lumps of galv in places and the back was half full of solid galv. They dipped it too quickly and the thick metal chassis sucked the heat out of the galv trying to drip off the chassis. IF YOU TAKE ANYTHING HEAVY GUAGE ASK THEM TO GIVE IT TIME TO HEAT THE METAL THROUGH THOURGHLY BEFORE LIFTING. Worth slipping them a tip for this.Trailer weighed 509kg before galv I guess it will be another15 to 20 kilo now. Looks good though and will never rust in my time. I used T wash (phosphoric acid mixed with copper sulphate) to oxidize and etch the surface to help adhesion. Get it from Dulux deccorator shops. Very expensive sigma cote polyamide cured epoxy still easily chips off. I wish I had used a hexavalent etch primer first and then the epoxy. As if the epoxy chips the etch won't. Raptor cote would have been better and cheaper. Phil

[@stephenbuss9415]

very nice, Its great I get to see how its done.

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Another reason for drilling holes is that when you are warm galvanizing you are literally dipping the whole chassis in molten zinc, causing any air and moisture trapped in places it can not get out to expand and it will make the chassis part explode. Literally. Boom. Causing molten zinc to fly everywhere. Source: Me. I've seen it happen while working in metal fabrication. Well fabricated 5mm thick parts going "BOOM" is not fun. Next to the zinc baths there is a very sturdy protective booth that the operator will stand in, while dipping.

[@neilshep50]

And also to allow excess zinc to drain out. The galvanizing company doesn't want to return your 300kg chassis full of 5000kg of solid zinc!

[@dfross87]
