No apologies required, im sure that we all understand that your life doesnt revolve around KZbin. But it is nice to see the progress. Great news about taking the unit on as well.

[@michaelguerin56]

Good management, Sophie. The repair work is more important than the videos, much as we enjoy them🙂. As a carpenter, I spend more time than I would like, repairing houses with poorly designed/implemented waterproofing and drainage issues. You fix what you find, according to best practice, as quickly as you can. It is clear to me that you will be an exemplary tradesperson. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿!

[@johnmalin1676]

You don't have to apologise Sophie. Just have patients while waiting for your uploads. Keep up the great content👍👍

[@rayeddy528]

You do great fab work, young lady !!! Your welds are really nice where you are welding only new metal !!! Rusty material is really difficult to weld !! Keep up the great work !!! Stay safe and God bless you and yours !!!!!! Eddy

[@calsurflance5598]

Glad to see your progress, Sophie! Post what you can , when you can, we’ll be here. Best of luck at Aston Martin!👍

[@LandRoverSophie]

That’s very kind of you, thank you for following the channel! ☺️

[@Perception_]

It's your life so you don't owe anyone anything. You're a hard and dedicated worker so you should rather be proud you are still at this project given the circumstances.

[@jagvette1]

Glad to see your video's again. You asked for questions, What do you do at Aston ? Mechanic, Bodywork or ???, I once visited Aston and had the privilege to see an engine almost completely assembled an you could turn the crank by hand it was so smooth and precise. Beautiful cars and mechanics.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching and for the question. I’ll share a more in-depth answer in the Q&A, but the short answer is I’m an apprentice mechanic/technician. It sounds like you had a great experience when visiting Aston!

[@sanatandharma4435]

The stars shine on you Sophie! Here in Spain the old discos and range rover classics live a long a rust free life and I love seeing them on the road. Keep up the great work.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for the kind words! That sounds incredible, unfortunately we very rarely see them these days. The salt they put down on the roads in the UK during winter has wiped most of them out. It’s great to hear they are still going strong in Spain!😄

[@shamrockgerry]

Hi from Ireland. Shamrock rovers. All the way ☘️❤️🙏

[@JoeBeech]

Great video, lots of hard work has been put into the Discovery.

[@FuManchu5ltr]

I couldn’t weld plastic. That’s fantastic. Love watching every episode of yours. One of my fav channels and I don’t have a Landie. Would love to know how things are going a Aston Martin. Would be a dream job for many of us.

[@JohnSmith-yp3tq]

I had a disco 1 and I have to say I loved it. I have a disco 3 now I also love it. Sophie all power to you I'm amazed you have have the enthusiasm at your age and I'd be massively proud of you for all the work.

[@slimpickins3425]

I love your methodical approach to replacing the rotted out ares, so much easer to do small sections when you are fabing the metal yourself , I do it exactly the same way. just finished the front windshield channel on my 1980 VW Vanagon, that was a tricky job, but did it in short sections so I never lost sight of the original shape. each section was hand formed, came out awesome, now I dont have a rotted and leaking windshield frame!

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you Sophie. Good to see more progress. Keep well, going into autumn and winter in that workshop.

[@andrewatkins3219]

Keep up the good work Sophie. No apology needed, 👍

[@dfishpool7052]

Nice to see you again Sophie. Looking forward to the next video - no pressure!!!

[@guadalupesanchezherrera5670]

¡Buen trabajo, Sofi!, estás trabajando sobre una base ruinosa. Tienes mucho mérito...

[@Defender110SLO]

Owsome work done. I made my salf a jig to make comtures. Cheers Sophie. 🍷

[@stevenmoran4060]

There will be no stopping you now you have got the unit. Nice to see you back!

[@LandRoverSophie]

My fingers are crossed for the unit! I have so many ideas for the unit and I can’t wait to share them. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@TheCounty90]

Great quality work. I have replaced my footwells and I am making the inner wing bolt in instead of welded so it can be removed much easier for accessing each bank of the engine.

[@stephenjones6902]

Excellent Sophie. Thanks for the update 👍

[@benlumsden9356]

Thanks for another great video Sophie and glad you’re still working on it. Thanks for sharing the journey and your knowledge. Just started working on a five door 1995 discovery V8 in Australia with my 4 year old and 2 year old finding it great fun so far. It unfortunately has some rust issues too so finding your posts very interesting. 👍

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for such kind words. As much as these old Disco’s can be a pain, they are well worth it and I can imagine it’s entertaining for your children! Let’s hope they catch the Land Rover bug so you can relax when they’re older whilst they take care of the Discovery for you😄

[@donsrestorations]

Sophie, glad to see you back! It would really help your rebuild if you would consider using weld-thru primer. This prevents flash rusting and protects the metal in the weld process. then when the weld is done and you have ground it back smooth, spray on some primer to protect the entire weld. Great to see you are back on the project and your work is coming along well!

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you, it’s great to be back! Yeah I sometimes do use it, but for me it’s a bit more trouble than it’s worth. Plus I know I’m just going to spray over with proper primer more or less immediately after anyway. I’ve even been using a Schutz gun to inject cavities with paint before waxing as well☺️

[@richardsiddon610]

Keep chipping away lass! Great to see some more content. Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@scotttaylor966]

Great news on the unit with all the work on the disco still to go and the other projects you have in the pipeline. Plus more videos 🙂🙂

[@stevejones9529]

You have just motivated me to tackle the bulkhead on my old series 3 landrover. Thank you

[@whitemoor66]

Lots more progress Sophie and brilliant news regarding the unit!

[@carlwilson1772]

Great video. Your work is inspiring. Post when you have something to share. I will watch.

[@wingdwolf56]

Don’t worry! We’re still here! Lookin forward to channel update! Keep up the great work!

[@lookcreations]

That’s good level of progress. Impressed with your fabrication progress. Stick at it and all the best for your project.

[@Chris-uu3cp]

Great video and progress, thanks for sharing!

[@rednwhitecooper]

Good to see another update. Your voice makes this like an ASMR video 😂 I can’t believe how badly these these rotted out. My dad had a Disco II for a few years and the roof and rear gate were rusting and the truck wasn’t even 10 years old. I don’t even know how bad it was in the areas we couldn’t see.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Haha thank you! It’s incredible how much they can hide! Discovery 2 will be exactly the same (from what I have seen anyway!). It’s a shame about your dads previous Disco, though you’re probably right about some concealed rust elsewhere!

[@davemitchell6331]

Fabulous series. Thankyou for your content and time. It gives me inspiration to push on with my RRC project. I've also bought some corroless s primer and look forward to trying it on some repairs. Your D1 will be solid for a good while once you've finished, Good luck. Dave.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for the kind words and watching the series so far! Your RRC will be so worth it, these projects tend to feel like they are dragging on but it’s about keeping motivated and also having some time away when needed. Best of luck Dave! ☺️

[@foggy460]

So glad to see you back. Can't wait for more great videos.

[@MrMontychops]

Top job there, thanks. A Dremel with their 40mm cutting discs is a game changing tool 👍

[@finrambo3594]

Thanks for doing this series Its helpful to me as im doing a disco2 body on a disco 1 chassis .

[@jonocharles1046]

You have great go. I gave up on mine. You need any bits, shout, foc. Glad to see anything go to good home. Yoke has two original turn wheel sunroofs (never leak) and too much to list (can't find!) . Tricky round those footwells. You made a super job of. Have V8 radiator and a massive outside intercooler if your going to go daft turbo/fuelling etc. Also 2 brand new genuine front door regulators. God knows what else. Let me know. Good luck. Great work. Jc

Great video, if you need anything sand blasting get in touch keep up the good work 😎

[@joesteed8316]

Great video Sophie. We can see how your confidence in the whole work package has improved, its good to see! Keep up the great work and videos. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gregorydobson4307]

Great video, just remember we think we haven't achieved much in a day sometimes but remember its not plain sailing as there is more to a so called job once we open the dreaded can of worms. Keep the videos coming, 👍

[@reseauVivatrain]

Dont be worried we still here when next comes

[@giacomospano2350]

congratulations on the restoration work you are doing! you are very good, I am also restoring a Land Rover Discovery 1 200 2.5 113 HP, three doors. Rust in these vehicle models is really a doom! in some areas I managed to chemically treat them, in other parts I had to replace the metal and weld it .. good job greetings from Italy! Urbino.

[@Paul-ow6of]

Thanks for the video!

[@pauldavidmurray6531]

Brilliant many thanks for the video xx

[@ianatkinson9168]

I’m currently working on a 2012 Toyota Hilux with a crusty frame, I wish I had half the skills you have! P.S. I’m a huge Aston Martin fan, hopefully own one some day. Great videos Sophie.

[@rogermay808]

Real good job their, keep up the good work. Eye-opening to see just how bad these rot for a, relatively modern vehicle. Nice to see it been rebuilt.

Morning Sophie. What a lovely introduction to your latest video 😀 You look so different without your work gear on lol 😆 It’s nice you’ve apologise for lack of content but it’s your channel for us all to enjoy when you’ve uploaded a video on KZbin 😆 Take care and looking forward to seeing your next update video on the LR discovery 🤣 I had one similar to yours many years ago when my daughters had horse 🐴 lol 😆 Love your videos take care until the next time Stevie 😘 x

[@mattmpower5977]

Long time no see !! Welcome back , discos coming along nicely, keep the vids coming 👏

[@michaelturner3933]

Great to have you and your disco back, the shaped bits of profiled panels are stiffeners they may seem insignificant, but they genuinely brace the panels . Well done for replicating them, they are important xx Looking forward to the next installment

[@stuartcope7407]

That’s turning into a project and a half!! Well done on just getting through it though 👍 nothing seems to phase you 😎

[@davidbrodie5044]

It's great to see this update from you, I always enjoy your vids. I'm planning to buy a Disco 1 to restore as soon as I can get a house move done.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching! That’s great to hear, the more saved the better. You’ll have to email me when you have found your Discovery! ☺️

Nice to have You back Sophie keep up the good work 👍👍

[@claretbuck1882]

Awesome job 👍🏻

Great to see a new video and the progress on the Discovery. 😊 For my part, no worries on the timing between videos, and I can totally understand prioritising the time you do have to make the most of it. 😊 Keep up the fantastic work! 🥰

You've built up an impressive array of skills Sophie. Great to see you back on KZbin. Best wishes, Dean at Retromeccanica.

Sophie your fabricating skills are top notch. I like the homemade brake for bending the sheet steel made from angle iron, a must have for your restoration. Keep up the good work, bravo.

[@steveking9574]

Wow, awesome work! new to the channel, thanks for sharing what your doing, it's quite epic.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the future videos. Plenty more to tackle on this Discovery and other Land Rovers. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@ivanfernyhough3851]

Goodluck with getting your unit.look forward to watching more uploads from you.your doing a great job on the discovery.

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Thanks for the video update. Posting shorter videos is a good idea, much less editing etc for you to do. Don’t worry about not posting too often, not enough hours in a day, and you are working at AM etc Cheers. 👍

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for understanding! As much a I loved to post longer videos with plenty of content, it takes me far too long to edit the video together. I’d rather upload shorter videos more consistently☺️. Thanks for following along and I hope you enjoy the next video!

[@colincooke6417]

No apologies needed Sophie just glad you are well and back on the air again. Are you ever going to branch out to restoration of vehicles for a living . Your skill set is very good for someone who has not long been doing this type of work. But its a very good watch . And can't wait to see it all finished

The Discovery’s outer panels concealed a lot of rot, though it’s all part of the fun and a great learning experience for me! Plenty more to do but I’m hoping it will be ready by next summer at the latest. Thanks for watching!☺️

[@shirleyboy8859]

Welcome back Sophie.... I was wondering what had happened to you.... I have said quite a few times that your work is amazing...... And it is great to see that you are getting better and better....... Most people that I know would have taken one look at your car and walked away.... I do hope you get the keys to the workshop... So I can bring my P38 round... The Old Girl is in need of a little love and attention....lol Take care Sophie and I am looking forward to your Q&A.... :-))) xxxx

Thank you for such kind words! I’m excited to be back and happy to be working my way through creating videos once again. I feel as though the Q&A/update video will be jam packed so you’ll have to grab a cuppa for that video! Thanks for following along and see you in the next video ☺️

That’s very kind of you, thank you! I completely understand the frustration you’re feeling haha. I hope you can continue at your earliest convenience! Thanks for following along ☺️

[@affordablevs]

Glad to see this video pop up, its funny I did pop on the channel last week to see how.long ago you last updated.. thought something had potentially gone a miss. In the unit, it might be an idea to set up a patreon account and just try adding the odd sponsor in? I wouldn't mind that at all if it helps fund extra expenditure like units especially heading into the cold and wet seasons.... keep it up!

[@LandRoverSophie]

It has taken me a little while but I’m happy to be back haha! I do have a Patreon account already set up, any donations go towards projects, the unit, equipment etc. I’m very grateful for any donations but I’d never expect anything! ☺️

[@RhysLRWorkshop]

Great video as always and brilliant to see you back working on the discovery, I can’t wait for the Q&A video and any other things you have coming in the future! My question for the Q&A would probably be in the near future, what do you see being the next Land Rover you buy and why?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

No worries 😊

[@GregPalmer2]

You are the number one welder,what's happen to the Clark of Work's.

[@THERONINCHEF]

What is the best corrosion preventative? Any particular preference?

[@eliotspencer9212]

hi Sophie, I've been looking at doing something similar what are your thoughts on welding heavier gauge steel in key area's to protect to better in a crash?

[@LandRoverSophie]

Hello! I have uprated the steel in some areas, though this was more to make it more resilient against corrosion than anything else. Since this vehicle was never designed with proper crumple zones; just uprating the steel thickness alone will do little to help it in a crash. I think it would take completely re-engineering the entire vehicle to help with that haha☺️

[@jpw1490]
