[@alanhawken8471]

always loved bringing a chassis back to life, welder done a great job .

[@dougwhidden6700]

The wit of your narration is absolutely hilarious, I could listen to you for hours. Thanks

[@henrygreen19]

Thank goodness for Gareth !! Cause the 2 of us went to the same welding school .. .. .. .. LOL

[@andrewhunt6494]

Hi.. great videos. I have just finished restoring a very similar 1957 series 1. And I live just north of San Francisco... you mention you are in northern CA - perhaps when you are done we could arrange for a drive...

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

I have always thought that the restoration of old stuff is rather a noble thing to do.

[@Lewis0709]

Great videos.

"...so just pretend that I´ve got them on" ... made me laugth! Well done mate Best of luck from Portugal

Hello Mr. Foreman, I am enjoying another update on your rebuild process. You are making all the correct decisions. I do want to tip my hat to you on the coveralls and the fact that they are as durable as you have made them out to be. Love your channel, keep up the progress!

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Thanks Kooskia, glad your enjoying the films. You said you worked in PNG, I passed through there myself many years ago, I remember it was quite the adventure.

[@tomhoward7608]

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Yes I did spend some time in the bush of the lowland area. We were performing seismic exploration. It was an adventure for sure! I was treated to wallaby for dinner one night.That was a first!

The welds are looking great. The Hobart welder is a great welder. Lots of work done is a short period of time. Great job!!

[@johndiaz7240]

Thank you from a old man that can't do much anymore.

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Your welcome John. Cheers.

[@randomoldbloke]

Cool you and a few others are making progress on the build. With your grinder put the guard back on !!!! Discs have a habit of removing skin to the bone on fingers if it touches, I found out the hard way . Cheers from FNQ were winter lasts 2 weeks

[@randomoldbloke]

Here were i am anything below +20c is cold and am grabbing for blankets and jumpers, below +15c it is time for jeans and fire up the heater

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Winter in FNQ means anything less than 25C :)

[@explorer8888]

It's looking great! Inspired and thinking about doing another chassis respray and protection on my 57 S1. When living on a Caribbean island and close to the ocean, regular maintenance is a must. Looking forward to your next episode.

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Greetings there Ony. Summer and myself have just come back from BVI in the Caribbean. Saw a few Land Rovers over there on Tortola. And I thought I had rust problems! It’s a tough life for you I bet having to live in paradise on a daily basis although if you were near those hurricanes a few years ago it might not have seemed too great. I do have a question though, have you any idea on getting hold of paint for these old landrovers? I know very little on that subject.

[@explorer8888]

Foreman and Wilms Adventures If you are looking for paint codes, take a look at this page: www.landrover.net/paint/ Any local reputable paint supply shop should be able to help you with the paint if you provide the brand and the code. A lot of LR guys that I know in New England get paint from Providence Lacquer & Supply Centre in Rhode Island. They know Land Rovers, but I don’t have any personal experience with them.

[@explorer8888]

Are you doing it yourself? If so, take a look at this article. It helped me tremendously when I painted my IIA years ago: roverlanders.bc.ca/painting-your-land-rover/

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Thanks Ony, I shall follow those leads.

[@richardsanders2794]

Great progress and camera girl did a good job too. Look forward to your next video, love it.

[@gerdacoonan7250]

Find those ear protectors Mr. Foreman, you'll always want to be able to hear the directions from Willsy when you're lost . . . . . . as is your propensity !!!, Ha Ha, . . . . . . great job you're achieving there, cheers.

[@steve_ohhhhhhh]

Bloody brilliant viewing 👍

[@craigtsadventures7414]

It’s coming along very nicely Mr Foreman! As always I luv your sense of humour and the footage of kricket and the other jack Russell.

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Always a pleasure Craig. I entrust all is well with you back in the great southern land.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Nice project, Im enjoying a diffrent perspective on resto of rovers. I have a few on the go also (Coopers Extra Stouts that is....)...

[@jasonfranklin9946]

I would hazard a quess that there isn't another bloke working on old cars in the USA working in a navy jacket howe and shorts as well as bare feet,Aussie legend.Surprised to see so much rust in the land considering there inbuilt anti rust devices(oil leaks).

[@InMused]

Nice d2 in the background

[@CB1000FP1]

the lack of oil pressure might be cured by stripping the oil pump and filling it with petroleum jelly as the pump wont prime its self on rover v8s and if its been standing it may well have drain out of the pump

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

I am in agreeance on your oil pressure theory. I spotted a little tool that goes into a hand held drill and slots down through the distributor after its removed to prime the pump. I might give that a try once I'm ready to fire it up. I have faith it will go again.

[@CB1000FP1]

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures that might work but I had to resort to the jelly method on my stage 1 v8 its fairly easy just unbolt the bottom of the pump slap the jelly round the 2 gears and reassemble took me about 10 minutes

[@borjaleonbueso-inchausti6156]

You are men, could u sujest me wich are the most valuable models to restored? thank u

[@philldombroski8526]

Great video, where did you source the replacement chassis sections from, about to start the same job here Cheers.Phill

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Greetings Phill. John Craddock.com was where I found the parts in the UK. They shipped them over to the US and it wasn't too expensive. A rear crossmember, two extensions and two spring hanger attachments. There are some other options where the rear piece comes all together but make sure for what series Land Rover they are for as the series 2 has a wider chassis than a series 1. The next video called the Mud Room covers sourcing parts and may help you also. Best of luck on your project.

[@kslinthesand]

Great vid, good see the good stuff ( coopers best stout) as well..Keep up the good work mate. Are you guys on IG ?

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Greetings KL. Glad you like the films. Neither Summer or I are on IG but Cricket is, I think her account might be cricket_the_adventure_pup.

[@kslinthesand]

Cheers mate. I’ll look her up. I’m doing a series 2 up. Your videos are great ( albeit mines a bit younger) inspiration.

[@ianlorimer6276]

Love the travelogue series and the restoration series but tell me what is Mr Foremans christian name?

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

Greetings Ian. As I'm not intelligent enough to be a Doctor and lack the breeding to be a Sir, it's Mr all the way for me. My first name is Gavin however. Glad you enjoy the films. Cheers.

[@No-thing-ness]

Are you in Yankie land? I could only stay there for so long because not taking anything serious with them and not getting my jokes I was constantly demoralised

[@nbrettoner]

Dear CameraWoman (But I prefer the term 'CameraGirl' :) ), although short (a single "Yep!"), your dialogue was perfect, didn't require several rehearsals nor takes, didn't really need any visuals, extra lighting nor embellishments*, and was delivered powerfully with enthusiasm. "embellishments*" >>>> Ozzie bear, but I do hope you scored the coldest one. :) We sadly have been deprived of your treasured appearances here for far too long. And yes your wit as spoke and writ is equal to Mister Foreman's masterful abilities in that regard. Ummmm, Wilms, was the intro anim run a bit faster this time?, or is it just that I'm a bit older since #4?. Dear Mr Foreman and Crickitt, you spoke your parts well, at appropriate times, and obviously like playing with old cast-offs like plastic bags and rusty oily dirty stuff. But I suspect the sparkly stuff is something Crickitt shies away from. Excellent that you were able to obtain the awesome talents of a Master Welder such as Mr Garrett, who is not afraid of doing an excellent job. Thankyou!. Looking forward to Part 6. Mr Foreman I was impressed with your can work. Did you learn that skill on the WA railways and some shop walls?. But seriously I am impressed with your guts and determination to do this project justice.

[@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures]

You've got a keen ear to pick up on Wilmsy's 1 piece of dialogue. Garrett did a great job, I'm somewhat inspired to buy a welder and start learning by doing. As if there isn't enough already to keep me out of trouble.
