Land Rover County V8 Panel Work. Don't be scared of Smoothing Aluminum!

Im a DIY Guy- I don't book vehicles into the shop- I learn skills and get stuff done using what I have available. You can too!
If you find my videos useful, perhaps you might consider chipping in for some gas money? Im too unwell to work now but I really want to keep bringing you these useful videos www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhous...

Amazing panel beating! 🏆

[@landraver90]

Great start to the new project 👍.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes I jumped straight in as I need a daily driver. This week, Ill make the piece of missing floor, sandblast the rear door and weld up stress cracks. then Ill start working on all the cracked and damaged door cards. This will be a great beast for getting our produce to the farmers market each week. I hope that you enjoy the progress.

@@t.h.o.r. I’ll be following your progress with interest. You’ve already inspired me to tidy up the bodywork on my ‘86 LR90, in the past I’ve just left the dents and called them battle scars but you’ve shown here it is worth the effort. I’ll have to wait til the weather gets a little better here in Blighty though lol

Just buy another door and card secondhand, rear quarter panel, cut and weld in.front wing used are cheap. Job done for not much $$

Just a suggestion, maybe some music over the panel beating bits? Listening to someone bash an aluminum panel is almost like nails on a chalkboard.

Bugger!- the end of your comment is cut off! - Ive now figured the plastic clips- Ill buy more and never wreck them again. My heater was full of foliage. - like a bucket full! must have spent every winter under trees? the fan still runs though- and no rust! Next video, Ill make a new section of floor and rebuild the saggy rear door and make a swingaway wheel carrier. have a look at one of my other Landy restorations studio.kzbin.infopcIm8dOmQSo

I take my hat off to you sir, a fantastic and informative display of what can be achieved with planning, perseverance and a shedload of patience....by the way, with that wonderful British accent, are you sure you're not from Hull originally? 😂

[@t.h.o.r.]

haha- just a little more inland. This is the nicest Landy that Ive ever owned. The power steering and the coil springs make it feel like a Bentley. Ive had it a week now and the best mod Ive done so far is put some oil in the dashpots! The idle was all over the place with dry carbs. have a look at my other LR rebuilds. studio.kzbin.infopcIm8dOmQSo

[@richardwatson7471]

Great Work. What happened to your other LRs that you fixed up? Sandy the Landy and Brutus.

[@t.h.o.r.]

And Larissa the lock down Landy! they are all sitting in a row behind the shed. Life got in the way and I had to suddenly expand my living space to accomodate two ladies I met who were living in their car.- Now Im back into landys. but I needed one for carting equipment about in. Im doing seminars around the country now and I need a vehicle that can drag all the stuff about and that I can sleep in. Ill be happy with this one till I die Its really nice to drive

[@richardwatson7471]

OH yes I forgot Larissa. Thanks for update. @@t.h.o.r.

Hello Tiny house, have you tested the clay pot for contaminants before using it to make the water filter

[@t.h.o.r.]

No- this channel is about using what you have available to get the job done. I just used the best quality Italian ceramic pot. Italy has been known for centuries for it's pure clays. Whereas the clays in India and china are seething shitholes of toxic waste

[@t.h.o.r.]

You might have noticed that this video is not about water filtration?
