[@poptartmcjelly7054]

Very thoughtful of the Landrover engineers to design the car to rust in such a way that makes removing unnecessary metal for your Aston Martin body swap so much easier.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

It was kind of them, I’ve written them a thank you card!

Check the chassis where it is hidden by the fuel tank - mine had fist sized holes in there but looked fine everywhere else!

I had a good peek! Lucky it was ok there, is just nasty under the rear outriggers!

Is that a goddamn Project Binky reference

[@frankgile1996]

​@@ferdinandstrat I think so... This looks like a spiritual successor to Project Binky... Based in the UK, a madlad (only one this time round) taking a rusty wreck back down to whatever good bits are left. In a field. And preparing to plop a completely different body on top of it.

[@Lou-f]

Well it might take a while

[@manualgarage]

One step closer to seeing the aston body mounted to the discovery chassis, nice work✌️

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying! That will start to happen in the next episode 😎😎

[@goorgert1364]

It is a LOT of work to strip a body in this way when you're alone. I know, I mostly do my work alone. When you finish a project like this, and it turns out well, the sense of achievement is all the better because of the suffering you had to endure. Stay strong, mate. We are with you in spirit.

Thank you for the support! Much appreciated. It is hard work doing it solo, but you’re right, the sense of achievement is great when finished!

That disco was an absolute turd, but damn is that powertrain still good, slow but good. That rust is scary, be sure to check the frame near the fuel tank, I saw one in the scrap yard that was way less rusted out on the body but that part of the frame was completely cooked.

She was really bad. But you’re right, the engine is still sweet. I checked that area and thankfully it’s all good!

I have built several cut and shuts over the years. I highly recommend using a carbide blade in a circular saw over a grinder or sawzall. The cuts are square, straight and clean and the blade doesnt wander around. Especially pillars and anything that will eventually be butt welded.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely look into that for final cuts!

Exactly! Maybe they’ll cancel each other out

[@tomday7309]

I can't believe the amount of rust in that Land Rover, but I have to because I'm looking right at it (To borrow a Vice Grip meme). They must build those with a saltwater paint underneath to get the corrosion process going right in the factory. It's a miracle that frame is not rusted through in a few places. I am enjoying this project and admire your willingness to challenge/embarrass yourself in the process. High marks.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

Haha it’s unbelievable isn’t it! I think they were definitely rusting from before they rolled out the door. But this one definitely looks as if it’s lived under the sea! Very glad you’re enjoying! Lots of excitement to come. If I’m not embarrassing myself, I’m not sure what to do!

I thought you'd maybe take the trans tunnel out in one piece, for later reuse. The rust on this thing is incredible.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

I thought about it, but after measuring up the Aston I realised everything would have to be created from scratch! But indeed…the rust had really taken hold

The newer the car, the harder it is to trace electrical issues! Simply due to the volume of wires in newer cars. I would recommend taking it to a small independent Mercedes specialist.

One should expect that a car build for rugged 4x4 use in Britain was build to also handle the British weather, at least better than that Discovery did. Regardless this project is amazing. I am looking forwards to the Aston Landrover creature taking shape.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

You would think so! But British cars seem to rust at an incredible rate. With that said, I was chatting to someone who lived in a very rainy and snowy part of Switzerland. He only buys old British cars. And he was saying how they seem to last way longer in Switzerland, in far tougher conditions. So his conclusion was the salt we use in the U.K….but who knows!! Very glad you’re enjoying! I’m having a great time building it. Lots of fun to come! Thank you for watching :)

[@54mgtf22]

Do yourself a favour and buy a reciprocating saw. Much easier to manipulate on the car body than a grinder.

[@HudsonAutoFilms]

Sadly due to the limited voltage (powered by small generator) the saw doesn’t power up fast enough. So can’t cut through much, the grinder is underpowered, but I suppose due to the limited friction on the blade, it still does the job

Yep powered by a little generator! I’d love to get mains supply or even a big generator. But the cost is vast! So yes I’ll be taking back to the home garage for the welding! I think initially I’ll keep the diesel…then once the car has been tested and all the issues ironed out. I’ll feel more confident in putting a bigger engine in!
