Starting my Defender rebuild! (And revealing the parts)

[@AngusAbbott-qf8xm]

Great job, thanks for taking the time to share your project on KZbin

[@MattTester]

I hope the rebuild is going well, looking forward to the next parts. I just put a deposit down on a Td5 90, hoping I've made a good choice and I don't need a chassis any time soon!

[@quintincairncross1088]

Yes, I suffer from that Paddock shopping basket syndrome. Just need a heater cable for my '89 110. GBP 1500 later..... Never mind, my therapist has prescribed medication and therapy sessions and says I will be better in no time. Looking forward to following this story.

[@graham-martin5847]

acid etc the chassis then give it a good wash let it dry then start your painting

[@harrypoyser]

Excited to see this progress with your Defender! I’m hoping to use Hammerite on my Galvanised Chassis too so will be interested to see how you get on 😃

[@simonevans343]

Always worth waiting for. Thank you

[@grahamclifton1483]

Best wishes! Looking forward to seeing your Defender’s renaissance!

[@gregoliver240]

Great to see you again working the Landy

[@whoneedsnames4979]

Great video👍 It won't be the last time your Jimny is towing your landy...😉😁

[@arnotemmerman3245]

Hopefully there will be a sequel soon😃

[@kevanharding9716]

Lookin forward to this !

[@Club86]

Tis' the year for new chassis' ;)

[@rjs1304]

Very exciting 😁

[@RaidoRin]

Why not Maer chassis? Would have been more tax economical in Europe.

[@nickolive5590]

T wash or an etch primer. Epoxy primer or a DTM epoxy and 2 pck semi gloss black. Please don't paint it in garden furniture paint.. They are cheap for a reason..

[@CaptainD1990]

Please treat the Chassis with T-Wash before painting galvanised metal or the paint will fall off! I tried Fox shocks on my 110, they are rubbish compared to Koni Heavy tracks!

[@TirsbaekTV]

Thanks. People either seem to love or hate the Fox shocks (most of the negativity I've seen has been due to a lack of durability). But I've got them now so I'll give them a go and may switch to Koni if they're no good. At least it'd be an excuse for another video 😄

[@andicog]

Hammerite? God no. Use a decent epoxy like Jotun Jotamastic, sticks better and is much harder wearing. Hammerite and smoothrite are pretty old hat.

[@Hui9697]

DON'T paint over the fresh Galvanizing, it will 'throw' the paint after a short period. You either need to leave it for a year to weather. Or treat it with an acid first. There are products sold for this but honestly don't paint it without doing something.

[@ColinGarner-h1t]

I think he knows what he’s doing .

[@Hui9697]

@@ColinGarner-h1t What a stupid moronic thing to say. If he just goes ahead and paints over the galvie then it will flake off within weeks. Maybe you get a kick out of watching someone make a big mistake, there's a name for people like you, narcissist.

[@TirsbaekTV]

I was never going to paint directly on to the galvanising, I appreciate it requires a lot of preparation first. Thanks for the advice!

[@Hui9697]

@@TirsbaekTV I kindof thought you would know as you generally know more than most about stuff anyway. I would've hated to see a future episode where you were having to sort out a common mistake. Even if this discussion was to help just one of your followers then I feel it's worth mentioning.
