Respect Sophie. All those long cold days in the rain have paid off. Land Rover should give you a job in their nice warm factory. Best wishes.

[@paulg3012]

The workmanship the thoroughness and the extensive and comprehensive knowledge are off the charts. The Defender looks fantastic. Rebuilding these vehicles should be your full time job and corroless should be a major sponsor. Enjoy your 110 and make some videos of your adventures in it.

[@samandbencollies7829]

Can you imagine being the MOT tester, seeing LRS coming up the drive in a defender. I bet that’s the cleanest Landry they’ve ever seen .....

[@georgegeorgiou8024]

Well done Sophie! You should sell it as a series to Channel 4! "Sophie gets her Defender through it's MOT, rain or shine ".

[@TheSparkysdog]

You've done a cracking job, you should be very proud of the work you've done.

[@alelectric2767]

Don’t sell yourself short. You’re doin an excellent job with the body panels.

[@chrissumpter3417]

Excellent job. So thorough and considered. Many so-called experts could learn a lot from your approach.

[@slimpickins3425]

I have always been a VW guy, and have a 72 Beatle and a 80 Westi which are my true loves, but you have shown through your videos how cool the Land Rovers are! I didnt think there were any vehicles that rusted more than the old VW's!! Your work is top notch! I love your passion! Congrats on the MOT!!

[@Specrotors]

Your work ethic is to be admired Sophie...keep it up and the 110 came together 🤘👌

[@bigdmister]

Once again you demonstrate just how dedicated you are and showing your attention to detail. Really look forward to future videos of you and the Land Rover. Stay well.

[@adeh503]

It looks like new underneath Soph, your work is sublime

[@kenwesters7834]

Sophie, you are simply amazing!!! Definitely an inspiration for me and many others I'm sure!

[@javiermpereyra]

Congratulations Sophie! amazing job what you done. Your Defender looking proud!

[@Dan-up6do]

Job well done Soph. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next.

[@josephagius1]

sterling job, magic hands and strong will. Well done LR Sophie !

[@manaudio1]

Well done Sophie, proud moment and justification for all of your hard work. Always a comforting to know your pride an joy is less likely to rust away before your eyes. MOT date provided a good reason to 'focus' I expect!

[@grumpyone1932]

Well done all your hard work has paid off,happy and safe driving 👍

[@SummerRoseRacing]

Even though it is months later after you posted the video, congratulations on passing the MOT, and I love how dedicated you were throughout the whole process! :) Absolutely brilliant! :)

[@EliasCY1]

Fantastic job Sophie ! I admire your courage working in the rain!

[@joesteed8316]

Superb job Sophie. Long hard days have paid off with a bostin’ 110. Well done.

[@colindouglas5120]

well done Sophie, great to see the defender running again .

[@geoffreyclark2805]

Job well done Sophie. Great filming and editing in voice over with explanations, easy to follow. Conquered the MOT with flying colors, bonus.

[@rayeddy528]

Fantastic job !! This series has been wonderful !! You did a GREAT job at every turn !!! Thank you for sharing your journey !!! Stay safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!! Eddy

[@davidadams007]

Really well done, congratulations on the MOT pass.

[@DavidMSA]

Same colour as mine, and yes, it is THE Land Rover Colour to have. Best Regards, David

[@chrispriddey4594]

Fab job, loved watching all this...full respect for your skills and dedication

[@_zzpza]

Fantastic work, well done.

[@simonwatson5299]

I'm still so impressed that a young woman such as yourself, has a strong passion for these cars, and that your work is 'top-notch'!!! Your experience shows, which means you must have done loads of Landies, from when you were knee high, totally amazing. Cant wait for the next project, and 'Hey, Land Rover, give her a flippin job!!'. Great work Sophie, you never cease to brighten my day. xx

[@djparn007]

Wonderful job, Sophie!

[@Boatlife1964]

Great to see him pass his mot after all the time and effort you’ve put in. Well done.

[@johnimmins7302]

How could the 110 fail the MOT after all the quality work you have done over these past months. Well done Sophie.

[@1str893]

Brilliant job. Glad he passed the mot!!!

[@onlooker251]

Brilliant Sophie - demonstrating good engineering skills - well done. 👍🙂

[@petergardner2334]

you SHOULD BE PROUD WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

[@northerner1374]

Excellent job! At least you can say you’ve done it yourself 🙏 get yourself a cushion or padded mats to work on. Avoid kneeling on the hard floor as you’ll regret it in later life 👍🏻

[@jackroutledge352]

Wow! That looks better than when it left the factory. Must be hard knowing it won't stay that way

[@carlwilson1772]

Fantastic work. Attention to detail, knowledge, work ethic, skills, perseverance, care. You are without doubt the genuine article. I've worked in engineering for over 30 years and I've never seen anyone like you. You are inspiring.

[@ragfour9303]

Superb work, He's a lovely looking chap now.

[@1969Risky]

Sophie, all that hard work, dedication, attention to detail, working in all weather has paid off for you. An excellent job that would most professionals to shame. Now you need a holiday to warmer climates & put your feet up.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Grand Job Lass..... You put most mechanics to shame, you should be very very proud..... Now wrap it in tissue and put it in the Garage....... OR..... better still go and get it really dirty... :-))) Take care and stay safe..... :-)))) xx

[@tismeDenis]

He's looking great & you should be extremely proud of yourself like like many of your viewers are of you. Well done 👍👍👍

[@defender90keswick.nigelsla59]

MASSIVE respect to you Sophie!! Here I am making videos only when it's dry, not windy and warm. There you are on your knees in the cold, wind and rain!! If I may offer one little tip.. the spray head on the wax injection tool is very easily broken, it appears to be quite brittle? Ask me how I know lol.

[@michaelfk2548]

11/10 ......Pat on the back !..

[@frankr111th]

You have done an amazing amount of work, congrats 👍🏾

[@stevenmoran4060]

You have done an excellent job and you should be very proud of yourself for such quality work.

[@michaeliandolo2252]

You have done some very good work under difficult working conditions. I am lucky enough to work in my heated garage. I can't even imagine what it's like to do this work outside in weather conditions just bearable for playing rugby. I have enjoyed your series. Looking forward too your next adventure.

[@graemelliott3942]

Good Job Sophie🏁👍Congratulations on passing the MOT! Like if there was any doubt that you wouldn’t!😃

[@fatcat3211]

Time to take it on a muddy trail and test that 4 wheel drive. :)

[@kennethdudley7551]

Fantastic job Sophie you should be really proud of yourself.x

[@adrianwormald5652]

Well done Sophie hard work has paid off, looks great...

[@martinshepherd6756]

Great work Sophie. One bit of advice. Having had the suspension apart, it's worth giving the suspension articulation a good work out before getting the tracking done. Drive it up any big kerbs, or speed bumps to let everything settle.

[@nps5886]

You are doing an excellent job well done

[@akersjon278]

Very, very well done Sophie!

[@jonathansamson4942]

Wow! Great work Sophie. It's amazing how you tackle that project like a pro. Keep it up!

[@matachine654]

You did an amazing job and all the hard work you put in, definitely shows!! I love it!!

[@paulprescott7913]

Always look forward to your vids Sophie. As ever a cracking job.

[@benharrison1837]

Your Defender looks great! It has been fun watching you work. Can’t wait to see the Series get some attention!

[@brianwheeler9069]

Great job Sophie keep up your good work and with the posting of your video’s I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress and your welding is good so don’t let anyone say other wise. I had to teach myself to weld too. Cheers Brian

[@MyShadowblue]

Best news! And that is the most interesting rivet gun I've ever seen.

[@simon4525]

The defender looks great, well done.

[@mozdavenport1850]

Great to see another video sophie, great job as always. Keep them coming lass

[@kalervojankko7604]

Thank you so much for another great Defender-video

[@JDnBeastlet]

An amazing accomplishment. Congratulations on passing the MOT inspection - hardly surprising after all the work you put it. You should be very proud!

[@artd.]

Well done young Lady, very impressive. :-)

[@rogermay808]

Real quality, thorough job. Motor is looking great.

[@TowerHand]

Marvelous work getting your rig shipshape and my favorite Rover color as well, if only I could find one in my cheapskate price range here in the Colonies. Keep on truck'in with the great videos, every one gets better than the last.

[@Harko-]

Excellent work 👍

[@ja553]

You go girl Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@TheMaccatakker69]

Congratulations of the restoration and MOT Pass, I really enjoyed the series! Your Defender looks great and I hope you inspire more young people to show the art of the possible.

[@Bigyin1963]

well I'm really proud of you, the work you've done is great

[@SalomaoFresco]

Brilliant. Good work Sophie.

[@cfps66]

Brava! Well done Sophie!

[@marcovanstaden45]

I remember when I bought my 110 and it looked identical to yours, she now sports a few choice upgrades to do the job needed. I'll be doing my chassis protection this summer too. Great job, well done.

[@JayWelchy]

Looks so good👀 ... great job 💪😎🤙

[@SALAHOONA]

Well done it looks amazing and thank you for sharing and I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@jonarnejorgensen1179]

Good work and congrats with passed MOT. :) I like that you use copper grease on the bolts.............it makes it so much easier to loosen later. :)

[@jonathanfahy4204]

I'm loving watching this transformation! Would love to do something like this in the future 👌

[@paulhyde1834]

Oh, Sophie!!! Well done.... every time I've switched on the computer over the last three months I've been checking to see this episode had been posted... AT LAST!! :-) You should be really, really proud of what you've done, especially under such awful conditions. I did check and saw that you put him in for the MOT on the 3rd of December..... Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. I wish we could meet you one day. Best wishes from the 'soft south'. XX Paul & Janet

[@Hyfun7]

Well done lass.

[@123Bilko]

Have a look at the Glynn Lewis wheel arch mud shields kit. That would further protect the chassis and body panels underneath. 👍👍

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Great job Sophie!

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Great job 👏

[@oskarkarlsson6964]

All talk about not perfect, to me it’s in perfect condition to be used and enjoyed. I’m impressed.

[@ravandermeer]

Great job Sophie!!

[@gerardharland6328]

Tremendous job well done 👍

[@Perception_]

Blam, that sure is a proper result. Loving it.

[@bodie37]

Outstanding

[@wkrwu]

Just found your channel. This is an amazing journey indeed. Superb job indeed.

[@nestorhugonazabal684]

Felicitaciones por todo tu Trabajo!!!! Saludos desde Argentina

[@multibucker]

Great series, very educational for me, thank you.

[@19KEV73]

Nice job Sophie 👍

[@MrDanTrials]

A few months? 10 years later I've still got a bare chassis! (just finished painting today)

[@acgrand2553]

I love it great job!

[@markonmotoring]

Another great video Sophie. Live the attention to detail. I couldn't agree more about replacing those suspension components while you were working on that general area. Think I'll be taking a similar approach myself on an old car I'm working on. I don't fancy using those spring compressors though. I hear they can be dangerous if the break loose. Keep up the good work.

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

Great job

[@maxthecaddy8451]

very happy for you😀 Fantastic work and hard work too👍👌

[@claretbuck1882]

Congratulations you've done a top job lass 👌🏻

[@countryhouse4717]

Brilliant well done it you have really inspired me to get my project underway

[@interestedinstuff9601]

Good Job! I need to look at that chassis wax.... the internals are my nemesis.

[@danielsanders1977]

Brilliant job! Well done, x
