[@poconoparker]

So sorry to see about Laddie. I hope he really enjoyed your adventure to Cornwall and he'll always be checking on your work from up high. Love this project

[@stuartround]

Aww, RIP Laddie... that was an unwelcome and unexpected twist at the end. Glad you got to spend some quality time with him on your trip. So sorry for your loss.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you ❤️

[@jamesfarmer4013]

I admire your patience and attention to detail. You go girl!!!!

[@CPDutch]

RIP Laddie, you gave him a happy life and he got to share Cornwall with his you, his whole world ❤️

[@fester73666]

Great to see you posting videos again Sophie, my condolences on the loss of your beautiful dog Laddie R.I.P

[@LandRoverSophie]

I must admit, it took me such a long time to get this next part out because I’m absolutely heartbroken. I could barely keep myself together to edit the video but I get to share so many fantastic memories with some wonderful people on this channel. I will treasure the time I had with him forever. The next part is coming, I promise! ❤️

[@geoffreyclark2805]

Sophie, great work on Gordon and RIP Laddie. Gordon is very road and off road worthy, great camera work and audio voice over too, as always. Can't wait to see more. Geoff.

[@Canalsman]

So sorry to hear about Laddie. It's heartbreaking when they leave us. Your tribute at the end is so fitting ...

[@retromechanicalengineer]

When you see black deposits coming out from behind a rivet in aluminium, it's fretting corrosion. You have a loose rivet. It happens on aircraft too! Great to see you back. Best wishes, Dean.

[@666gwp]

Really sorry to hear of Laddie's passing , nothing worse than loosing a four legged friend, focus on all the good times you had, the sadness fades but the good memories stay sharp ♥️

[@richrowley8355]

Great video Sophie. Sorry for your loss.

[@robaylmer2450]

my heart panged when I saw Laddie asleep, things are never the same when you lose a partner. Amazing quality of work Sophie, as always! looking forward to your next instalment!

[@gerryaddison8677]

Condolences about your loss of Laddie, take care and thanks for sharing the mini restoration of the Land Rover.

[@rayeddy528]

[@whitemoor66]

Happy New year to you too Sophie. Great to see you making lots of progress again. So sad to see that you lost Laddie. I'm sure he will continue to monitor your progress from on high.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. It has taken me quite a while to get this part out due to loosing my best pal. I’m just so grateful to have so many wonderful memories and to be able to share them with some great people. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@hammyh1165]

I'm must be sad , I love running the needle gun it's really satisfying.

[@colmone5592]

Well done Sophie.

[@banggegep4408]

I really enjoyed your videos Sophie, glad to see you posting some videos again. So sorry for your loss, I'm sure Laddie is running happily and will monitoring your adventures from up there

[@gucu]

Visiting Cornwall and not calling in and saying hi to a series 1. Thanks for the video and I hope you enjoyed your holiday.

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Hey Sophie!! I showed my mum some of this video the other day. She liked your accent. I live in Western Australia and our version of BBC featured a story about a lady about your age who also fixes up Landrovers. Mum saw it and thought it was a story about you! Here’s the link to the news story “Strangers online told Madelyn she couldn't rebuild this vintage vehicle. Now she's proving them wrong” The story on ABC news is called “Female Fourwheel drive enthusiast confronts stereo types. “ I reckon if you got in touch, she would be well stoked to hear from you.

[@radaraacf]

Glad to see another perthite about bud! Kwinana here

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Nice update such a nice landy!

[@BQQTS]

Great to have you back

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you ❤️

[@paulprescott7913]

Great to see you back. Sorry to hear of the passing of Laddie.

[@Garrett053]

Nice work on the frame!

[@brianyoung9014]

Great video, your welding has really improved you are doing great work, Sophie. Cheers.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for the kind words and for watching!☺️

[@Price-qd1cd]

Wonderful job,I’ve been restoring jeep CJ’s for 25 years and most guys can’t weld that good so bravo!

[@Biffsteki]

Those are some solid welds! I Just got a new welder from the 80s a 300kg esab, but its silky smooth in thin and thick material. looks almost as good as yours, welding with a nice welder is such a good feeling. Super nice repairs!

[@carlwilson1772]

Happy New Year Sophie, great to see you back. Sorry to hear about the loss of Laddie. Fantastic job on the land rover, keep up the magnificent work.

[@billybiker1383]

A very sad ending to such a wonderful life but I am sure that he is watching over you from far above and keeping an eye on what's to come. Its always great to see how things are progressing with your projects and the quality of your work is really good to see from someone so young, your a credit to your generation and something to be very proud of. Keep up the good work Sophie and keep on enjoying your adventure and inspiring others to follow your example. I have to say that the Cork float had me in stiches, why on earth would any one use a Cork...LMAO

[@IndianaTony]

Great work as always. I'm really sorry for your loss, though. Seems like Laddie enjoyed a great life with you.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Always a Delight to watch you working Sophie..... Just a quick "Touch Up" you say??? I do know that you do love to get "Involved" in your restorations... But washing the Car is my idea of a Touch up..... I do highly recommend Travel.... It is a Big World with some amazing places and people to see..... Watch some "Itchy Boots" videos... She is Amazing.... RIP Laddie.... :-) xx

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching and the kind words! I really do like having multiple plates spinning at once ay haha. I suppose it keeps me happy/busy and provides some entertainment!

[@shirleyboy8859]

@@LandRoverSophie I will bring my P38 for you to fix up then.... :-)) xxx

[@mrsmith697]

Fantastic work.. corrosion is a pain.. protection inside the beam is werry important..has miss you..and happy to see you again..♥️

[@rogergregory5981]

Sorry Laddie has passed away that's a lovely memory of special family member

[@neilbowser6359]

I use CAD (cardboard assisted design) whenever I make patches or something to fit an existing piece. It saves material and time and makes sure you get a good fit. Looking good.

[@ljkkj2511]

Very nice job!😮

[@marcusd2380]

Serious amount of work in that video and it can’t be easy working under it with it on the ground. I did a bit of work on a car but to the extent u have done here. A few things I found great were galvafroid paint which is high zinc for rust prevention. Seam sealer on top of welds before spraying or painting. Weld through primer as well. Good luck and enjoy Gordon

[@GregPalmer2]

That's alot of work,ln AU we are not aloud to weld the chassis unless we go to a professional who can sign it of. Your lucky you have that clerk of works supervising the weld jobs,he looks like his a real pro.

[@BokorRider]

Well done great work good welding.......sorry about your dog

[@sarojrai87]

my favourite land rover defender from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

[@michaeljohnson1006]

Looks like your welder is nice and powerful with a good steady wire feed and no splatter

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Being from Australia, That was a nice beach and coastal area.

[@DavidCulshawmer-r]

Plenty more to come on the channel that’s for sure. That’s very kind of you, I miss Laddie very much but I will cherish our memories forever and he will still be on those adventures across the rainbow bridge! Thank you once again for your kindness ☺️

[@doug12341988]

Bet they’ve had a few land rovers at that army base. It’s in Ashchurch Tewkesbury!

[@stuartcope7407]

Great video, I was getting withdrawal symptoms. sorry to hear about laddie 😢 looking forward to the Cornwall adventures it’s my second home.

[@JoeBeech]

Wonderful video - thankyou

[@LandRoverSophie]

❤️

[@stevenmoran4060]

Sorry to hear about Laddie, he was a star in his own right and devoted to you! Fabulous video and I love Cornwall too likewise it’s well over 400 miles away from me too. Don’t know if you seen the Lost Cause Ranch videos from the US. Joe might give you some new ideas as he rescues Landrovers that have sat in fields for decades, in fact anything Land Rover at all. He does like fitting a V8 into the odd one too. Like you he is a very talented fabricator and even make his own custom exhaust systems from scratch. He also has a supervisor called Sasha who doesn’t like the cold. Looking forward to your next video and the excellent work.

[@MrMontychops]

So sorry you’ve lost your friend Sophie - it all came flooding back for me, losing mine.

[@LandRoverSophie]

[@lisandronascimento2872]

Por favor Sophie, como faço para regular o pedal da embreagem. Obrigado

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

Is it a special grade of sheet metall you use for the patches? How thick are they? The welding looks pretty fine. Well done.

[@jmd7244]

Impressive, but you're bot a Jedi yet

[@graham-martin5847]

i am a firm believer if ya gonna do it do it once and thats it body off take it to the blaster get it painted up properly fill it full of rust proofing inside that chassis and jobs a goodun ,i got one blasted and galvanised original 32 year old chassis never seen a welder in its life ex army ,got another one back from the faulklands same again never seen a welder off to blasters again and this one was painted ongoing project when i can be arsed lol

[@LandRoverSophie]

Totally get that and I usually do the same, which is why my build diaries are so long! In this instance, I wanted the 110 on the road for a little while before doing a full resto as I currently have a few projects on the go etc 🙂

[@Chuckiewashere]

[@johnbratley6926]

Land Rovers a brilliant concept badly executed, so many chances to get it right over the years all lost due to expediency. Galvanic corrosion easily prevented but sadly ignored.

[@Bones4x4ltd]

What welder you using

[@hannahpakita-kz6hq]

Howdy, do you drive barefoot

great video Zahra and Paul @twoheadnorth
