Working on my cheap Land Rover Series 3

Fellow Land Rover enthusiast here 😁 with a Series 3 Lightweight 😎 Loving your videos and looking forward to the next one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Whenever I've cut chassis pieces out I've always sprayed phosphoric acid liberally inside the exposed section then rinsed and repeated - helps stop the rust spreading further. Finally once repairs are completed - waxoyl the heck out of it.

Your content, production and presentation style is making the resto a great watch. Keep up the good work👍

[@williamwales6619]

Never came across you before. Liking your style, Can't do that stuff anymore but i am enjoying watching you do it well. Thanks for video.👍

[@williammillard687]

I too enjoyed this and hit the subscribe button….(frustrated engineering perfectionist type)👍👌

[@jonbrookes77]

What a great episode - love the presentation style and obviously love the Land Rover 😎

[@draidangraham]

That was lucky grabbing the broken bits out 👍

[@erhardt1477]

Well… These videos are goin to be so informative for future generations… When they goin to ask us… „did you really put a burning liquid into your cars..? And WHY ..?😂“… In a museum tour in the next hundred years or so … I’m guessing… 😅😂😊 Oh in case you wander … I own a Landy too 😂😂😂

[@PaulMcGuinness]

Keep 'em coming. I'm restoring a 109 at the moment, and this is all useful information 👍

[@jamie66916691]

Great videos

[@robertjacob5585]

Like the simple language and explanations, even I could follow and attempt the same with confidence 👍🤞

[@mikekelly159]

Doing a good job with the restoration, good luck with the fuel pump.

Great knowledge man, enjoying this project 👌

[@RPMcMurphy-k9l]

Great insight thinking of getting something similar 👏

[@kevinbodnar448]

Keep the videos coming, cheers 👍

[@notsohairybiker]

Great stuff so far, I would not use sandpaper anywhere near to a vehicle. Get some wet and dry, carborundum paper, many different grades of grit.

[@Nick-e8k]

Well-done you. Keep it up

Sweet vid!

[@Simon_W74]

Hopefully with the fuel pump quill shaft and possibly two working fuel pumps you'll get the old girl up and running in no time.

[@preonmodel9906]

Nice welding, will you be waxoiling the chassis at some point?

[@retromechanic2238]

Great question! I am hoping to treat the whole underside in a future episode 😃 I just have a little bit more welding to do at the front first. Thank you for watching & commenting! 😁

[@aerialfilmandphoto8896]

Great job on that rear end!

[@retromechanic2238]

@@aerialfilmandphoto8896 cheers, I’ve been popping to the gym every now and then

[@12trudger60]

It’s not enough for Landy owners to just work on their own rigs!

[@theimbiber]

Loving the content and style . How about a longer episode next time ?

[@gentlesoul1513]

Please, please do not use a grinder without the guard on it, and if you budget allows get yourself a grinding face shield, I have been in fabrication and construction for 40 + years and have seen some horrendous injuries caused by grinders

[@retromechanic2238]

@@gentlesoul1513 sound advice. I have goggles but I respect the disks do shatter; usually it’s down to too much pressure or wrong disk for the wrong metal (like steel disks for Ali) but thank you for your concerns

Please drop the background " music" whilst you are taking. It's difficult to hear what you are saying.

[@retromechanic2238]

Apologies - I’ve never managed to “crack” the sound part of my videos, continuous improvement and all that…

[@highdownmartin]

The free KZbin music is a bit of a distraction. No need imo.

[@retromechanic2238]

@@highdownmartin really good feedback! It’s a challenging one to edit, foster engagement with high level insights & introduce energy through music but also deep dive into parts of the process without loosing peoples focus. Trying to strike that balance but appreciate having music isn’t for everyone but vice versa no music isn’t for everyone. Regardless thanks for watching & feeding back 😃

[@highdownmartin]

@ you can add it but I can’t take it away! Glad you cleaned the pump body. In future any inj pump fuel stuff scrupulous cleanliness is essential. Injector nozzles and pump clearances are tiny and you. Do. Not. Want. Any sand or carborundum getting inside. Diesels are shitbound oily lumps but inside they need to be cleaner than an operating theatre.

[@retromechanic2238]

@ fantastic advice 🙏

[@johnthayre8088]

It's not colder bloody car it's called a truck use your knowledge as a Land Rover owner if you're that what's it online Rovers you know that be called trucks and not cars

[@highdownmartin]

No point getting too hung up about it mate. I sometimes refer to mine as a car.
