Haha cars with wooden floor, takes me back to the 1920s. I expected the whole back end to be rusted, but looks like the hard work has been done for you. Should be an easy repair.

This is better, Wheeler Dealers never accounted for Ed's time when they made a 'profit' on cars, when in the real world they made a loss on most of them.

[@benhuggett5415]

Bit of gold there boys! The guy in Ireland was an absolute hero to do what he did for that hard dash Range Rover- it was so hanging he near enough made a repair section for all of its structure! It must have meant the world to him to have bothered as he could have bought a far more solid one anywhere and given himself a fraction of the work. The LSE is worth persevering as the final hand built soft dashes were the best built classics ever made. Don’t be shy with the paint and the rust prevention! Stainless fixings work really well but A2 can still rust stain the bodywork. Keep em coming we’re ready!

[@Boro-Lineman]

The guy saved you a load of work taking the floor out and stopped it getting any worse. A great base to start. Good luck rob.

[@petemoring67]

Love how you keep yourselves 'and' the work area so clean......... I used to work with a plasterer who went home at the end of the day as clean as the time he arrived - he wasn't slow either, a real grafter........ Although 'I' used to get more than my fair share of work done in the day, I used to go home looking like I'd been pebble-dashed :-)

[@anthonyriddiford1333]

Another great video Rob & Chris went better than I had imagined with the floor good framework to weld to looks a real diamond in the rough no more scares hopefully, look forward to the bell going off to signal another video I watch on my iPad before getting my head down... stop reading this and get in that garage and 'get involved' good luck lads 👍👍👍

[@alancampbell1008]

Actually quite an innovative bodge! Good to see the frame under is solid, not a bad motor really.

Hey Rob, good stuff, That plywood floor probably saved you some work, drilling out all the spot welds, the frame underneath looks fantastic. I wonder when the ply was put in, maybe the repair panel was not avaliable and the ply was a short term measure that got forgoten about. LOL.

[@shaunfleming4970]

Great video, the strip down went well. I must admit I was expecting a world of grief when you started. rusted or rounded nuts and bolt and spire clips. I thought the inner wings would be shot. when you were taking the sill covers off I expected most of the outer sill to come with it. As with a lot of range rovers and discovery's I was thinking it would need a spare wheel well, wheel arches and seat belt mounts, pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video.

Over here across the pond there is a product called POR [ paint over rust ], that bonds to rust and stops further rusting. I'm sure you have something similar in your country.

[@a1topdog]

Probably wasn't considered structural as the car has a separate chassis to provide the strength.

[@stuartyaxley5308]

@@a1topdog I think you have a valid point there especially as it was only spot welded, if it was structural it would need to be seem welded, I think .

[@richardgreene3460]

Awesome honest video! I just finished my 91 Classic and even though it has been in a garaged dry and no salt area since new here in the US, there was some rust around the rear wheel arches. My point there will be some rust somewhere in every one of these trucks! One would have to tear one down like you guys did to find it! Sincerely enjoy each episode! I wish you were near me!
