Project Discovery // Part 4 - Boot Floor Completion

[@arniebrooks]

Thank you Geoff for motivating me to start eating healthier, exercising, and cutting back on the booze, so that I hopefully live long enough to see the end of this daily driver project

Love to see more work on the not-a-project!

[@budycelyn]

better than factory job on the boot floor, i'm really enjoying this series about a vehicle thats not a project :)

[@crewealex1125]

Sadly, it was almost better than factory in episode 1! 😱

[@JA-pb7oz]

Yet more proof as if it were needed that Mr Crocker is a comedy genius, the unexpected Fantail comment caused a genuine belly laugh.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Love the videos. Just to say this is a proper Landrover restoration, it is done in the rain, just as the motherland intended….. 😅

[@garypoulton7311]

Those pumps do go AWOL if left standing, check it is pumping, before going down other rabbit holes. Great videos, and if this is not a project... You have gone down the classic route of all major rebuilds.

[@CROKERvsRover]

I’m going to systematically go through the entire ignition and injection system. I’m looking forward to it. There are many small thing I see that need plugging back in or reconnecting or cleaning up - but I’m saving it all and resisting the temptation to get side tracked 🤣.

Funny. British automotive products are going bad when you don't use them, or when you do use them

[@Beef4Dinner22]

We should all chip on and buy this guy a proper creeper. Like, triple layer cardboard with some nice flame stickers and a crayon drawing of Trogdor.

[@kymcopyriot9776]

Great stuff. Turns out I have the same model creeper! They’re made by ikea. And Panasonic, and Target, and Hoover, and Westinghouse. Oh, Coopers also make a compact version…

[@hamongog]

What concerns me most is how many other brilliant KZbin channels are there like this one that I know absolutely nothing about? I believe you said your last video was your longest? Please don't let long videos get in the way of frequency. Post stuff like taking out the garbage, meal prep for Sunday dinner, driving to the dentist, etc. I'll watch it all. I promise.

[@martinnobbs5055]

I would add M539 Restorations to your list, as well as Allen Millard to your list. I often wonder the same thing!

[@NomadicPhoton]

Check out Soup Classic Motoring as well.

[@Okierover]

Just finished getting my boot out. Repair is next. Will source Dinitrol if I can find it.

[@hamongog]

@@martinnobbs5055 Thank you for the recommendations. I don't really care as much about what he does so much as his he does it. I live in Utah. Sundance Film Festival is going on right now. I've seen a lot of it over the years. Some of what I find on KZbin is better than Sundance's best.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great job on this project.... @ 8:00 "I'm trying not to let this quick repair get out of hand...." Heh heh heh! Ohhh Geoffrey.... Oh my. It's already way out of hand... WAY out of hand.... But, that's why we love you. That's why we're here.... And, the angry face you throw on the screen sometimes.... but mostly, it's because when you do a thing, you have a real knack to over-do the thing....

[@talljake]

It's a subtle detail, but the sound design in these videos is really excellent

[@bp9749]

The one video channel I never fast forward through. Outstanding job on this. Loving this series

[@peterwarner8541]

Love a CROKER restoration video. Very satisfying work done at the rear there, make sure the rear door and seal are good so they don’t undo all your hard work!

[@barrymcgrath5249]

Remember, this is not a restoration. lol

[@peterwarner8541]

@@barrymcgrath5249 Sorry yes quite right! Just a couple of minor repairs…

[@literate-aside]

Never watched your car stuff much, but Jesus its good, flown through both series. Fingers crossed for the next one mate.

[@TheBasementChannel]

I love how you verbalise everyone’s internal dialogue when performing the same activities

[@tseesinnep3r]

Just discovered this recently and it's the perfect not-a-project to watch while waiting for Soup Classic Motoring and Project Binky to update. The humour and narration reminds me of Nigel Billingsley our of Jumanji haha. I have always wanted one of these Discoverys but after watching your findings so far, scares me off. I love the choice of background music that keeps sounding like it's leading up to some major scare but suddenly stops, perfect comedy timing! Subscribed so I don't miss the upcoming year(s) of fun!

[@driftizio]

These are lovely and all, but I miss the Series III project! You're so close!! I need to watch you make progress so I can continue avoiding making progress on my own!

[@fredman1971]

I caught myself holding my breath while you tried starting the Land Rover. Then I realized, one always does it when trying to start a Land Rover, well I do.

[@kjaques1]

Priming the fuel system before turning it over is always helpful. ;0) Boot floor looks awesome, good skills.

[@CROKERvsRover]

The pump primes for 2 sec in the on position

[@TheDaf95xf]

Fantastic fix on the bout floor 😊She will start buddy 👍🏻 Rain 🌧️ just like Manchester England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 lol 😆 Looking forward to seeing the next episode 🤩

[@Richard-hm2pj]

When you started this car, I thought today would never happen. Well done, I am seriously impressed.

[@muh1h1]

Well, it didn't start yet :D

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

It’s a Rover V8, of course it’s a different problem…. Lovely work on the boot floor!

[@vincenthumphreys6566]

Loved the video, keep them coming. - I fractured my tail bone recently incredible pain. incredible pain relief from the doctors. Hope your bruising heals quick.

[@michaelnoyes4817]

You've done a good job of the rear floor

[@__FJ__]

You had me at "good luck when you get some on your foot & walk through the house."

[@GavinEarnshaw]

I think many of us have had 'that' experience 😂

[@mrstanhope1516]

Excellent work on the boot floor. The disco has the same light switch stalk as an Austin Metro, brought back memories of learning to drive.

[@christofs-a1834]

See that's a true friend right there, finding comedy in your mates physical misfortune haha

[@dan725]

Ok wow that floor looks amazing. Also, the rage making an-almost comeback a few times there just had me rolling. Love your humor! And holy crap you were able to get the tank installed by yourself!!!

[@PlesantlySurprisedHedgehog]

Love your videos, always a good day to see a new one drop! For your fuel problem, you don't need to crank the engine to get fuel pumping. When the key is turned to 2, the fuel pump runs for 2 seconds to pressurize the system. You should hear the fuel pump whirl away if you kneel back by it. Alternatively, you can pull the fuel pump relay and make a jumper wire to hot wire the pump till fuel is flowing. Can't wait for the next video!

[@AlanMorrisonLTD]

Good work on the “definitely not a project, honest” disco.

[@eyeLikeCarrots]

WOW that Fantail has a great sense of humor.......

[@CMacks3y]

The fan tell made me audibly laugh out loud. Bar none, this is my favorite channel. Thanks for this content.

[@dnasberg]

I remember being able to roll around on the ground under vehicles. Just watching you do it now makes my body hurt all over.

[@paulcooper2897]

18:30 The struggle is real!!! Fuel tanks are no fun on your back alone. That engine sounds tired! Maybe just from sitting 6 months, but it's got a rhythm when you were crankingnit that sounds like a bad/no compression cylinder .. Hope Not! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@schrenk-d]

Memories of me doing this (reinstalling a fuel tank) to my sigma ... many, many laps around the sun ago.

[@pawpawbandit3871]

I've been waiting on the edge of my seat for a month! Thanks! Hands down the best D1 Recovery Video on youtube; an inspiration to all of us. I just hope you finish this before you get a major TV Network deal.

I seem to remember that the boot floor on a discovery is a consumable 😊

[@malcolmfox5463]

Geoff the fan tail made me crease up with laughter, I would love to come round and give you a hand but I live in Dorset England. But we do have crappy cars and rain in common, keep up the good work this is the best channel on the tube! ps dont be so tight and buy yourself a car creeper!

[@nikcodling]

Very much enjoying this “not restoration” series! 😊

[@ct71rr20]

Nice work! I feel your pain doing a million plug welds. I replaced the floor pans and trunk pan in my project. I use an end mill bit in my drill to remove the paint in the plug weld hole before welding. These bits have a flat end and easily remove the primer/paint that's in the hole. I use epoxy primer instead of weld-through primer. Amazon has the bits for pretty cheap. Just match the bit diameter with the hole diameter.

[@DominicGiles]

I'd never go near a project like this... But I enjoying see you knocking it out of the park.

[@johno9525]

You legend!!!! What a great way to start a Sunday ❤

[@Preso58]

I'm sorry, but this is turning into a project! And, OMG, you used your kids kindergarten art projects as a garage creeper, in the rain! 😱

[@WesleyWolfers]

Great episode!

[@NuffMan_]

I used undercoat procedure from Dinitrol that was painted on with compressed air. First was a base layer of oily "cavitywax" more like cavity oil, and topcoat of rock protection. Endresult was awesome and has been held well for few years now. before i used some cheap stuff that you painted on, and every year i had to apply more as the old stuff started cracking. Only mistake i did was the fact that it really does get everywhere.. should have covered the whole exthauspipe and outside of the car.. cant figure how the undercoat got to the roof and sides and glass if i was painting from the underside lol. spend more time washing the paint and glass as the end result

[@VinceValenti]

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Get a single burner hot plate from Amazon for 20$ for the shop. Put a pan of water on to boil, put the hose end into the water until it softens. I work on old farm equipment with harden hoses and this method never fails, provided of course the hose don't split! p.s. You can't beat cardboard on concrete. I have a brand new creeper hanging on the wall for 4 years, never used it. I save every big piece of cardboard I find.

Great job! I share your pain with doing everything by yourself when a second set of hands just to hold something in place or hand you something would make all the difference in the world.
