the Hook M.O.T. shakedown

[@phillipsprangiii3112]

From your yank counterpart (drummer as well)...started my apprenticeship under the watchful eye of Brian Bashall (R.I.P.) at Dunsfold L.R. in 1970. So your expert bodgery is particularly well done: in fact, it's F*****n' brilliant, mate ! I've built a few S.I.'s, the first at the yard in Dunsfold, in the mud, covered with leaves, replacing bearing shells in a quonset hut with a dirt floor, open at both ends, Surrey in the winter...paid my dues, oi. Kept my fingers clean, Landy ran after I put it together. First success at 18. Been hooked ever since. Thanks; new subscriber and grateful for it!

[@oakswamp]

cheers Phillip....welcome aboard brother...whats a S.I???

[@phillipsprangiii3112]

Series One, 1956: I've got an 86, 107 pick up and a 107 station wagon...so I bet that crazy old Land Rover bloke/friend of yours knew Brian Bashall as well: not even 2 degrees of separation here !

[@daleskidmore1685]

Well done, great job. Caught up on all the build, saw the drag bike vid, so answered how you know so much too.

[@andrewharrison8782]

How did it pass the MOT without mudgaurds? When I was a MOT inspector in the early 1980’s any more than 50 mm of exposed tyre was a fail

[@oakswamp]

mudguards are not included in mot unless fitted , as with speedo, windscreen wipers not needed if you can move the screen ....its mot free now anyway....👌

[@richardhaywood4123]

Does it not need mudguards to be road legal? Looks good!

[@oakswamp]

yes it does , but not for an MOT

[@hazzalandy]

I suppose a tyre isn't a sharp edge, so not something it can fail on

[@mrjohnsonclarke]

Hey mate, epic work and well done! Really liked following the build. Cheers from AU.

[@oakswamp]

Good job. Well done getting all those parts working together!

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate..

[@gjaeger4822]

Mate only just found your build, great job on blending parts, making sh#t work together. By coincidence I have two 42 Chevy 1 1/2 ton ers striped down and two 2a landies in rebuild. You’ve made me consider blending them🤔

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude, gotta say with power steering and decent axle ratios it drives nothing like a series landrover..do it man !

[@ramarover]

Brilliant series of videos mate, the Hook looks class! Whats next?

[@oakswamp]

[@rockcrusher4636]

[@smallblockfuelie]

$9 a gallon?!?!? That’s insane.

[@oakswamp]

[@melons_custom_shop]

@@oakswamp You know there is only 3.5 ltrs to a US gallon? works out $6.5 ;)

[@oakswamp]

@@melons_custom_shop really? i didnt......small gallons for big cubes!±!!

[@melons_custom_shop]

@@oakswamp I always thought the same as you, gallon is a gallon surely, didnt find out till we were over there and filling up, something didnt seem to work out right 😉

[@oakswamp]
