Kermit was the vehicle I learned to drive in. I'm really chuffed that you've started this project. I apologise in advance for the welding horrors you'll find! ;)

Hi Max, some 30+ years ago, I restored a SIII landrover for use driving in a marine environment in New Zealand. The vehicle was in such a state that I ended up acid-stripping the chassis, bulkhead, door-frames, window-frames, and all other steel parts, then welding nearly two m^2 of steel sheet to repair all the rust holes -- and then hot-dip galvanizing everything (I had to drill a few additional holes to let the molten zinc out of the internal cavities, of course). The galvanizing was a huge success, and 20 years of hard beach driving later all the galvanized steel items were still intact. This is a long-winded way of suggesting that you might want to consider hot-dip galvanizing for your own landrover restoration -- in my case, the galvanizing was actually cheaper than painting (and, of course, you can't paint inside hollow sections). Love your work BTW...

I love Ironthumper projects, they always start with the components being pulled out of a bush. What a bloke. My first vehicle was a LWB 1978 landrover - happy days spent plating the chassis - beware these 70's LWB chassis rot from the inside out. They look fine until they snap in half...

Since that project finished I’ve been quietly waiting on the 109 project, using the ZIL to tide me over in the meantime and watching your channel explode in popularity. This project will get the audience it deserves and I hope you can make some money doing what you love. You deserve it!

Hi Max. Looking forward to your new Landy project. Your channel inspired me to start my own KZbin channel restoring my own Land Rover Defender. Dont get me wrong its years younger than yours and not as much work involving the chassis. If you could give it a quick look over and give me some pointers that would be great! My family have always had Land Rovers and as a kid growing up me and my dad restored a Series 3. Funny we had load of parts that we accumulated over the years too 😂.

Those early 110 doors with wind-up glass and lift-up handles are the best of both worlds in my opinion, and quite hard to find unless you opt for reproductions. I fitted a single cab to my 109 at one time and found it very cramped even though the sloping rear bulkhead on a LWB offers more space for the seat. I often thought about a king-cab type conversion in the style of a 60s/70s garage recovery truck, but in the end I put the van body back on!

Ah a 109, a proper Land Rover - surprisingly few registered on UK roads now too. Still use mine at least three days a week and I can count the number of other 109's I've ever passed on the fingers of one hand. Nice to have the overdrive, wouldn't be without one. Can you stretch to a galv chassis? worth the investment for sure if you want it as a workhorse.
