Ladder Frame Assembly by German Couple (FUNNY !!!) / S4-Ep27

[@leejordanful]

If there was an award for the best Discovery 3 Complete Rebuild series of videos then you would win it by a mile! The love that has gone into this car is amazing.

[@MarengoScotland]

No better video on a Sunday morning than with LR Time! Keep up the good work! 😎🏁

[@dipladonic]

100%

[@pwatom22]

Except it does remind you of all the jobs you have been meaning to do and still haven't done 😔

[@stephenbeattie-sy1ds]

Christian that is an incredible video. Enormous workload and commitment. Thank you both for your entertaining episode.

[@Adventures-with-Ty]

That was pure therapy. But I now have ‘ladder frame envy’ 😂 amazing job guys. Ty

[@dn0682]

If only more people be like yourselves everything will be perfect but I think not many can come even close to the attention and care you carrie on this rebuild. Well done guys.

[@billhanson4921]

yep he really the picture of attention to detail. Gotta say i suffer from the that'll do syndrome, he'd probably lynch me if i ever worked with him 😆

[@fubar12345]

The ideal mechanic. I wish I could find someone like him to work on my LR! Although I do appreciate the time constraints faced by most mechanics due to workload required to run a business.

[@georgeharrison2795]

An amazing amount of work, and to such an amazingly high standard quality. The pair of you are to be admired for your work ethic and attention to detail

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good afternoon Vera & Christian 😊 The transformation on the ladder frame is awesome 👏🏻 I’m in amazement on how methodical Christian is with it comes to modifying things making it better than factory 👍🏻 This is most enjoyable to watch 😊 As always big kisses for Vera for her patience and love of here precious LR 😂 xx

[@robpeabo509]

Lots of tips for anyone who chooses to undertake a body off frame project, especially in the areas that trap water and debris.

[@josephsteed8015]

Doesn’t matter how crap my weeks been, I find myself laughing at you guys! Natural born entertainers with such an abundance of technical skills! I can now smile as the new week begins. Thank you Vera and Christian!,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅😊🙋‍♀️

[@johnperry7534]

I missed the part in my Landrover owners manual where it says in order to keep the car in working order you need to be an experienced and determined machinist , mechanic and blacksmith with a son who is a blacksmith as well, you must be as determined as a German or actually be German, have a hoist, a workshop , a full set of machinist tools, a lathe, a welder, and have a very pretty and helpful optimistic wife. I missed that part in the manual.

[@charleshepplewhite7384]

Yes I get the point. I have no garage and a very sloping drive. But I carry out general maintenence like oils and improvements. Not looking forward to replacing the main belts but suppose I need to think about how to tackle that job and get all the necessary tools and bits before I start. Anyway great comment.

[@RichieRouge206]

Top marks to Vera for identifying the parts! It was so cool. It was very satisfying seeing the components being cleaned, sanded and painted so throughly! It is better than when it ran off the production line! A great video and thanks for the never ending cheer and humour! You are my favourite couple on KZbin!

[@johntheoldmod]

It's looking great Christian, I thought I was a bit OTT about cars but you take it to whole new level, when it comes to water traps Mercedes have perfected it with the W211, they design them in and then add seam sealer to ensure it can't escape and every spot weld is a rust spot. cut away the seam sealer and watch the water run out. I'm begining to see the Discovery in a different light.

[@islandhopperstuart]

Fabulous attention to detail: true engineering!

[@chriscurrie5597]

Vera,s. English is excellent.. " are you shitting me" 😂😂

[@RangieNZ]

Amazing. I bet there are people who used to build these in the factory, now watching and thinking that this is how we should have done it. :)

[@bobby3378]

How amazing does that chassis look. So delighted to see the LR3 being assembled again. Cant wait to see it on the road again. Love the vids. Keep them coming.

[@martiniv8924]

The only ‘Reality TV’ show worth watching 👌🏻😎 Christian & Vera (not forgetting Robin , guest appearances and last but not least the LR’s ) 🙌🏻✌🏻😎

[@ccconlan2670]

ITS LR TIME😊😊😊😊 sunday mornings wouldn't be the same without lr time.Great work progress made this week.this disco will be like new.lucky vera😊 cant wait for next week's episode till then a big goodbye from dublin.ireland.

[@rufusvardag8190]

That Land Rover is going to last forever. Much better to renovate an old car , especially when it,s a special car , than to buy a new EV. ☕🍰 .

[@Vera_and_Christian]

You are absolutely right. 👍🙋‍♀️

[@sanatandharma4435]

Absolutely incredible video Christian! Also, what a well thought out vehicle, hats off to Landrover and superbly done by yourselves! Thank you for taking the time to share this.

[@slowboat6021]

i do love watching you guys working together. however I'm not a fan of using SS and Mild steel together, the galvanic reaction will make the steel rust!

[@marcel3282]

Correct, beter to use galvanische bolts.

[@larskrogh586]

Harmonic dampeners. ♥️👍

[@RichardFrost800]

Awesome setup and working area and workshop. That disco will be one of the last in existence in years to come in our hemisphere

[@RichardFrost800]

I would love to have mates like Christian and Vera

[@markrainford1219]

He jetwashed a wiring harness. This man knows no fear.

[@Pesmog]

I had a long slow intake of breath when I saw him doing that. 😲

[@Wolsey67]

one word sums you two up - fastidious!

[@d1sc0f1sh5]

What a great video! I envy Vella to have such a talented mechanic at home! My wife gets mad at me just for shaving rusted brake caliper at garage, because she hates rust all over the place^^;

[@phill-w]

You guys are amazing, 😊

[@kumbirayinyabereka5190]

Another excellent video Christian and Vera.. So educational and therapeutic. LR Time is now my best "on screen time" on Sundays. I can't wait for the next episode. See you next Sunday. 👏🙏

[@murphy5267]

Another fantastic awesome episode! Makes me proud to be a LR3 owner. Your frame is a work of art! Never knew about those water traps which explained why my left rear control arm bracket failed. All good and repaired. Curious if you considered repostioning the Air Block valves to make them more accessible for maintenance, if even possible. Just a thought. Your talents and passion are inspiring , as well as the one liners. Cant wait for next weeks.

[@mainevent707]

Hi Vera & Christian! I was watching your videos for a while and I think you are the most interesting to watch and listen about Discovery's. Sounds incredibily silly but I was inspired by you to buy one recently. I have sold my beloved BMW 3er from 2014 with 2 ltr diesel in a favor of 2005 Dicovery with 4.4 petrol engine. So guys, keep doing your stuff, it makes people do crazy things 🚙👨‍🔧👩‍🔧. MfG from Berlin

[@davidbuchanan3374]

Just watched a short video from VISTATREKKER. He filmed his Discovery 3 turning 250,000 miles on the clock with the original engine. So there's still a few good v6 landy engine's out there ❤️❤️😊👍

[@bobrose7900]

Absolutely brilliant and such addictive viewing, OMG! And such a good job... whilst everyone has there small preferences when working on a project like this, you've completely nailed it. Not literally of course! Wonderful Sunday afternoon viewing and the best KZbin channel by far. Well done Christian and Vera.

[@johnnyknap]

Amazing work as always ! How can Land Rover designers go to all the trouble of designing complicated anti vibration damping weights but leave so many rust traps I wonder? So interesting to see such great progress in the car coming together. Thankyou

[@jamest5149]

Great job and awesome dedication 👍 Highly recommend Bilt Hamber Dynax S50 and / or UC clear film waxes would be a good rust defence after the Disco’s back together. Spray in the chassis sections and generally all over. Bilt Hamber has a lot of experience in corrosion control and are relatively cheap… you can do the hole chassis and underside with one aerosol….. helps stop the fastener’s, bare metal and any scratches from building everything back together from corroding 👍

[@bradanderson1627]

Thanks for the great video. What a F#$@ed up planet that you have put out a disclaimer on not responsible for anything you do. It’s all most come to the point Schools are going to have students sign one if nothing else for stupidity sakes? Anyways thanks its starting to look like a real stone boat 😂😂😂 not a fan of LR but hay whatever floats the boat 😂😂 yes I’m a 😏🧐🫏 all in fun you can send sarcasm back anytime no need of disclaimers 😂 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍/? 😅. Till next time

[@billhanson4921]

torque for the weights...German torque...... gudentight .😁...sorry could not resist..... English sense of humour love watching your vids.

[@Goonit83]

Just discovered this channel, after I suddenly developed a case of discovery obsession.. missed a local sale but I’m keen to join the club! That frame looks amazing though, well done, you do great work - I’m enjoying watching your antics.

[@jeremyunderwood9524]

Fantastic real dedication! Can I please bring my Disco3 ? Seriously keep up the excellent channel and don’t forget 17 year old Toyotas don’t exist, they have simply rusted away. Thank Goodness

[@bigdavesdiscovery3world414]

I got back yesterday evening after a 3.642 kilometre trip through central France and Aragon in Spain, Now have 214.460 km on the speedometer and how beautifully the vehicle is running. It's also got to do something with this channel that gives you inspiration to get the job done properly and by yourself thank you to both of you for that! But I really think Christian you need a press for home too! I know my chassis pretty well too after having redone the underbody for MOT last January and now I know what the purpose of those two weights are. Next week I put it up on my heavy duty ramps on the street for the 5W-40 oil change and air filter before we set off for our trip through the south of England via Dieppe-Newhaven, see you about guys...😘

[@cjhickspe1399]

Today's lesson: Resonate frequency damping in mechanical structures. Homework is due Thursday and there will be quiz next Sunday.

[@rambleon2838]

Christian, I was surprised that you did refresh the Land Rover like a Toyota owner would've done it. I was expecting chemical cleaning and afterwards dipping the bits in a zinc bath. I did notice the cold welds during the disassembly. Must have been a Land Rover apprentice welding it up after a Manchester United game. Land Rover should be embarrassed, but they don't, because their thinking is that the engine will grenade before the frame will rust to dust. They've build in frame rot in the Disco I and II why not offer the same to LR3 owners. Regarding the goofy weight ballast on the frame, If Vera and Christian would eat and drink more German sausages and beer, respectively, those two boat anchors wouldn't be necessary unless it is used to keep the Land Rover under water. Who approved such an unnecessary expenditure? Maybe it's a cover up. A thumbs up for the extra afford and Vera's deep know how of Land Rover parts.

[@julesviolin]

Fantastic restoration there. I would be scared stiff to drive it after all that great work . PERFECTION 😊

[@alexshapley8331]

👍 another excellent video - many thanks, already looking forward to next week's video (which I will watch in the next 5 minutes - binge watch catch-up!). I expect that it now looks far better than (the underneath of) a brand new vehicle.

[@alanmetclaff6718]

@13.34 Do you think Oswald Spengler would have predicted the decline of the LR3 model or maybe a back room secret deal was at play!

[@LucozadeClw]

Ha! I was told the Germans don't have a sense of humour. What is true is the German quality engineering that has gone into this build. It's a pity it's going to be given to a lady driver!!!! Only joking Wera, I'm sure you will take good care of it. If you don't Chrisitan will make you drive s Toyota or ev en worse, a Kubelwagen lol

[@nigelnorton2416]

As always, brilliant work. I think you need to do a Mercedes sl350. I'm very happy for you to practise on my car,😊

[@julesviolin]

What a ridiculous design frame to have to add those big clumpy weights 😅 You'd have thought JLR in this day & age they could have designed a frame to have no resonance ?

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , designed and built in England , one world cup and exporting some land rover ring tones , a first by , from land rover jig saw puzzzzzeles . Magic work you do . 💗👍👍

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

During my Service I watched a Landrover hit a heavy telephone post from solid wood (It had been caught in a ditch, invisible below the cut grass and couldn't return to the road), and drive through! You couldn't see any damage, except where the end of the post hit the roof, when coming down again!

[@pablomax9376]

I am not a LR guy, but I enjoy your videos. Your humor and obvious excitement for the project is fun to see.

[@bobevansIW]

Doing a pukka job there Christian 👍. Vera is also doing a great job balancing your frame 😉....

[@forcex9.8isMass]

They'll be fitting torque tube drives to Vauxhalls next instead of Hottchkiss Drives but not worm drives😂

[@forcex9.8isMass]

Africars don't have problems with the chasis work hardening and breaking like Landrovers do on rough roads. The Africar had hydrogas suspension it doesn't transmit shock loads to the chasis. You used to get seasick in hydrolastic Minis😂😂

[@nickb5391]

A German English speaking person, you both speak English fantastic, i should be ashamed as i cannot speak any other language other than my U.K English

[@washibonsai5307]

Todays media warp the reality: it is all displayed in minutes but it is a product of weeks of hard work, not to mention years of practice and experience. My deepest sympathies for showing the world that an “experienced” 😉couple can work together and not against each other! Not without little humour stings here and there, which are the salt in the soup. Greetings from the frying pan

[@jamesray3920]

Looking good here in us when mechanic remove bolts and reinstall the bolts they mark them with a marker so they Know it was torque, when I put new transmission and clutch in my 2005 jeep wrangler I could not get it in gear because I for got to torque me clutch down so I had to drop transmission again and torque them now runs good , I wasn't happy bout that

[@michaelaustin5888]

Another awesome video Oh by the way in the part of Australia that I am in Korumburra in Victoria its struggles to get past 12*C

[@philhealey4443]

The antithesis of Lotus "Added Lightness" going on. Are these weights really for NVH or part of crash test chassis deformation design I wonder?

[@abdulaiabdurahmani2913]

In kosoves we use grease with oil mixed and heated and with pressure gun we put in all openings of chassic.we have over 50 years old cars without corosion. But they are all treated with that technique.

[@amazoniaamazonia7225]

They just better, but I wonder how many fellow D3 owners are feeling more inadequate, week by week.😊

[@edclohosey490]

Those mysterious crash things are there because your front wheels are used as airbags in the event of an accident. Kasper Hoglund's channel had this information in a video a while back.

[@PhilJennings]

They are called mass dampers

[@forcex9.8isMass]

I forgot coil springs do not transmit acceleration and braking forces so you can fit lighter springs ligter springs mean less unsprung weight fot the springs to control so you can fit lower rated spings thus improving ride quality and less axle tramp will i.prove rosdholding as the tyres are in contact with the roadsurface more and unload less😂

[@nickb5391]

Bilt Hamber do a rust removal solution Detox C, it is water based & it cleans off rust great, don't put case hardening parts in as i found out once!

[@themoshpitt]

No stone left unturned. Thorough and methodical. Great viewing on a sunday morning. Fabulous and intuitive as normal. Thanks Christian and Vera. OMG better than new.. 😂

[@Missed_Apex_GT]

I love this channel…I don’t even really know why I do…I just do ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ProfessorGearchange]

I tried stainless steel fasteners on my Series 2, but found that the nuts and bolts welded themselves together and could not be removed! So I reverted to BZP and a lot of copper grease.

A needle scaler (can be bought cheap from Lidl) can be a big help cleaning up those type of scaling rust. Much faster than the wire brush. BTW nice work. Your neighbours definitively need some cakes after this grinding ;)

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Whole neighborhood was red 😬. Christian

[@bigal5932]

I’ll second that. Rust can’t hide from a scaler, so be prepared for it to be worse than you thought. A wire brush if not used thoroughly ( unlike Christian )will actually polish the rust scale and leave it in place. The scaler will either get back to sound steel or create a hole.

[@cloudninephoto]

This has to be the world’s first concourse LR3😅. Well done.

[@Crazydragonman]

Very interesting channel watching your videos,you do a great job !

[@stuartgordon9587]

Dear Vera and Christian, although I'm not a Patreon, please read the email I sent you. Many thanks.

[@coreyking5135]

You and I are exactly alike, can't sit still and always trying to make things perfect.

[@LeeWs1970]

All the hanging parts remind me of a Gunther von Hagans body works art peace .

[@forcex9.8isMass]

Note to Jaguar if you fit coil springs instead of leaf springs they will be further inboard and so will not over stress the extremities of the chassis?

[@bernardcharlesworth9860]

Ar resonance just like they old days of steam in the 1830s with the wheel tappers😊

[@rob5896]

Be careful of your clothes while grinding, I had a really nasty accident with grinder they snatch your clothes!

[@Nypartcannon]

Ahhh sikaflex ❤ many painful hours removing this from my hands.

[@wesleyconn620]

no sir not like a brand new vehicle///// if landrover built them lioke you do they would last toooooo long love it ... need to do this with my old range rover :)

[@mickbawn6815]

Great stuff as usual, noticed Christian mention " Sarah n tuned " she's very good too 😀

[@halldorra]

Renault /Peugeotuses these special tiewraps for example, cables and looms

[@mikeboone4425]

Another sunday morning with LR all is good in the world today. Happy Trails

[@Platypus-Dreams]

I wish there was someone I could pay and TRUST to do this to my LR3😢

[@coreyking5135]

However if water gets into that sealant it will never dry, I would recommend drilling small holes.

[@forcex9.8isMass]

Im a better guitarist tham Michael Schumacher but not Damien Hill😂😂

[@cp4512]

Great work! 👍

[@grahamwest1079]

Awesome work as usual coming together very nicely. Good fix on the water traps

[@DiHandley]

So Christian basically what you’ve built yourself is a brand new Landrover Discovery III. Exceptional work guys and very entertaining too. Send some of the weather down to Melbourne Australia please. It was no more than 5C today. Brrrrrrr!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

So you could not wear sandals 😂. Christian

[@DiHandley]

@@Vera_and_Christian no!!

[@karlsanderson8127]

This is the second lr3 that i know of thats been rebuilt like this the other one swapped a range rover v8td engine in it while he was at it lol because why not

[@davidbaker3270]

a who was the fit bird doing weight lifting in the disco chassis dont let vera catch you with another woman on her disco all those bits are looking very good now

[@bw6378]

Very nice! It is now so fancy that you will have to put it in a museum and get a Toyota to drive. lol

[@baruahmedtanyitiku3200]

I am dying help me with my Discovery 3 Land Rover

[@forcex9.8isMass]

Ive been driving my amplifier its not quite madness😂😂

[@Mocconagames]

This is what the workshop should do according to their ridiculously high bills!

[@nps5886]

Very nice guys il drop me car off and pick it up next week ok cheers in advance lol

[@abdulaiabdurahmani2913]

you can do electroplating by yourself too.we do in Kosoves.

[@dipladonic]

...yet again, as a man, these videos leave me feeling inadequate. Lolzzz.

[@Mocconagames]

lol, now I definitely know what to drop to compensate extra fuel tank

[@evick80]

You guys are impressive! Thank you for the videos!

[@sjbdeebo2]

I have never had any luck with meyle or meyle hd products.

[@shornsparks20005]

As always a fantastic job please next week I hope you will spray your breaks a nice red colour and your wheel hubs silver you have clean them up and I will look so good afterwards a fantastic job you guy have done

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The calibers are cast iron. Rust will come through immediately🙋‍♀️
