Land Rover Rebuild Vid5, panel straightening prior to paint prep.

[@ItchiusScrotus]

Some of the best panel beating advice I've ever seen on KZbin and I look for panel beating videos

[@GunsAndRovers]

Excellent tips. Wish I had one of those giant pry bars you call a bump bar. Working off of bad repairs from prior owners on my own Series. Cheers from the U.S.

[@t.h.o.r.]

check my latest Land Rover vids. I bought a V8 County with a big smear down one side. 3 days work and no bog- I hardly even ruined the paint!

[@mrojas73]

Very nice Sir, you are lucky to be confined working o your Landy, can't wait to see the end result!

[@t.h.o.r.]

You and me both!

[@keithfoxton5836]

This is one of your best. You're getting pretty good, obviously been practicing lol Keep up the good work, you're keeping us sane.

[@Bennyboy-dog]

I've got a few more bent cars for you if you want. The changes were very subtle, but towards the end I started discerning the differences. Nice work!!

[@gonesailing]

Wow. Super impressive work there with the old birmabright. Gives me inspiration and some helpful tips for my Series 1 that has some badly beaten up wings and roof. Thanks so much for sharing your work and experiences. Stay safe and good health to you. Ian

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thanks Ian . in an upcoming vid Im going to show you the ;slapping stick' on alloy - so much gentler than a bruisy hammer

[@gonesailing]

TinyHouse and Offgrid Resources. Ah great. Thank you. Will look forward to this. All the best. Ian

[@lookcreations]

Enjoyed that. I shall keep an eye open for some suitable tools to address my Series 3 109” bodywork. Thanks for sharing. All the best Mat

[@t.h.o.r.]

Go for it!

Are all defenders made of aluminum ?

[@temsbab1565]

Yes. all defenders and series land rovers are except the bulkheads

[@douglastobin8996]

Martin looks gd 2go those v8s lov wood gas fumes

[@warbirdflyer7276]

is using a puller advised?

[@t.h.o.r.]

as a last resort yes- But there will me much more tidy up needed. I spend more time getting creative with bits of wood and cutlery. Patience is the key.

[@warbirdflyer7276]

@@t.h.o.r. The puller I was referring to allows the user to glue attachments to the panel , Lock onto that and make efforts to straighten. Remove glued- on part post straightening. The question is, do you think this would be viable for aluminum. Thanks so much

[@t.h.o.r.]

@@warbirdflyer7276 Oh yes- they are wonderful!- I forgot about those- I m used to the drill hole or weld on stud type. The great thing about a a Landy is that you can access most spots without having to use one. I have a pair of 'glass carriers' suction cups with handles. They are good for repairs where you still have smooth paint surface and a big soft dent. Its amazing what you cand o with one of those and a heat gun on soft dents.

[@petervanoosterom2794]

Did you have to anneal the aluminum? I heard it work hardens in some of the landrover forums

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes- that is what the water quench does after heating- It relaxes the built up stresses

[@sausage5849]

I would've just bogged it up :-)

[@jakob3856]

Where are you based? Can I pay you to have a go at straightening my passenger door

[@cesareomartinez7619]

En efecto, no hace falta tener herramienta sofisticada. Lo se porque lo he hecho yo, en los dos serie 3,que tengo.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Muchas de mis herramientas de panel están hechas a sí mismos- Sí sé lo que quieres decir

[@highdownmartin]

Welcome to come work your magic on mine. Rippled 109.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Keep watching Ive got a vid coming up on the 'slapping stick" so much better ehan a hammer
