SERIES III STRIP-DOWN - DAY 1 - LAND ROVER SERIES III GALVANISED CHASSIS SWAP AND UPGRADES - LRM

[@djmusk6015]

Excellent video, just the compliment while I'm having some lunch after fitting a second hand 300tdi engine to my disco. After a bit of a mishap. It does give the magazine a new perspective, hearing and seeing you in real time, after seeing so many pictures over the years of you explaining land rover jobs. Keep up the good work.

I have to say this has been an amazing short series and super helpful for me. I’m only just starting my restoration of my 1969 Series 2a after it being in boxes for the last 7 years. It’s really handy to see how things go back together that way I’m not missing anything 👍😃

Fascinating to watch and an excellent video for anyone who intends to carry out a similar job.

This was most enjoyable to watch 😃 I love the detail, I respect how much time it took to film & edit it, incredible work 👏 Look forward to future episodes!

Thanks for watching!

[@Michael-bc1du]

Great to watch. All the best jobs are done round the back of the house, usually in the pouring rain, umbrella at the ready. Keep up the good word, already looking forward to watching the next installment. 👍

Great watch, raally fab to watch the logical strip down procedure 🙂

[@landrovermonthly7806]

Thanks Roy! Keep an eye out for the next instalment

[@PeterMenzies-t4r]

It’s all the other repairs and work that you discover whilst doing this (like axle/steering relay/bulkhead/rear tub etc etc that take the time). Working on gravel ( esp on a slope like I and many others have to do is a real pain esp for retrieving dropped items). Thanks for keeping it real for us home mechanics who have a similar setup, limited space and not a nice fully equipped 4 post air conditioned workshop. It is just such a pity that you did not spend £50 to paint the chassis for the next owner, Galv looks great for a while after that it links crap & rust starts to come though with our salty roads. Preventable with a couple coats of good chassis paint & nice black Finnish to last for another 50+ years.

[@landrovermonthly7806]

There was quite a few things that needed sorting, thankfully nothing major and had a replacement tub prepped ahead of time. Gravel is fun, I'll be finding washers for years to come! Not painting the chassis was purely a time thing, it'll get protected by wax inside.

Hi great video to watch and it’s helping me

[@landrovermonthly7806]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KingfishMDT]

Very interesting, looks like Neil’s SWB series is going for the bare metal look!

[@landroverwatty]

I took (most of) the paint off ready to repaint it. Haven't found time to get it done yet!

[@philhyde2635]

Excellent. Nice to see a 4 legged H&S officer…….

[@landrovermonthly7806]

He takes his job very seriously

[@janharpershea2359]

Don’t mark the lids of the bolt tins, mark the tin itself - that way, if you or your assistant have more than one lid off at the same time it won’t matter if accidentally the lids get switched - just a thought?

[@landrovermonthly7806]

Good shout!

[@m111kca4]

That chassis is going cheap/free haha could do with one haha

[@landrovermonthly7806]

Old one's already gone, sorry!

[@m111kca4]

@landrovermonthly7806 haha

[@rambo196919]

Your brave doing it on a gravel driveway!

[@landrovermonthly7806]

Keeping it real!

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

Is this a genuine V8? Asking because of the recessed front panel.

[@landrovermonthly7806]

No, it has been converted with a 101 Forward Control engine

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

​@@landrovermonthly7806 Thanks for the quick Response. You mentioned this some minutes later in the vid, too, so sorry for the redundend question. I meanwhile had a closer look on the MAER site. Are there some additional brackets for the V8 engine in the Series 3 Chassis welded to? The background of my interest deals with one of my pending Projects, which is a 1967 Serie 2a Petrol Pick-up 109, which I like a little bit more than the Series 3, because of the inner head-lights. The chassis is rotten. Buying a new one from Marsland or Richards would be very expensive, die to toll, tax and freight. The 2a is a civilian one, but I contemplate to go for a 1 Ton/ mil Chassis with extended springhangers ( Like my 109 S3 ex-mod FFR LHD (200TDi) has.

[@landrovermonthly7806]

The adaption for the engine is done with very old Milner Phillips conversion brackets, so there are no changes to the engine mounts on the chassis, they remain the standard mounts for the 2.25 four-cylinder. No modifications to the chassis are required
