- This episode we are really making some progress and seeing Nigel's face appear again! But as usual it is not without it's issues, and this time, it might be our worst one yet... :(

Thanks for watching, see you on the next one!

Hi guys - I have enormous respect and admiration for you. Originally it was just about loving your videos of your travels and adventures around Aus, but since you’ve had Nigel my respect and admiration has been elevated enormously by what you are having to do with Nigel- doing everything yourself . It would probably be easier to buy a new vehicle, or recon parts but to do everything engineering from scratch is incredible. Hope you get everything sorted soon and back on the road doing what you truly love. ❤
Thanks so much Steve that really means a lot :)
Hey guys, I just like to say that I am enjoying this series and i love watching you guys. Dont stop and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Matt, that truly means a lot to us! So grateful for your kind words and support 😊
Drill a bunch of small very shallow holes along the crack with a tiny bit deeper one at the end of the crack . Make sure the water level is below the crack , heat the area a very tiny bit with a torch .Find a old cast iron junk part ,say from a local garage , grind or cut it to a bit cast iron shavings . Now mix a tiny little bit of the shavings into some high temp JB WELD mix well and pack it well into the crack , let cure a couple of days . There another thing you can do is braze the crack up . On my 1948 Chevy 6 cast iron exhaust manifold was pitted and warped really bad , so that’s what I did was to heat the manifold up, then fill the pits and low spots up with braze , then let it cool slowly , and used a flat file clean things . Knock on wood that was about 3 years ago , no leaks . You would have to pull the freeze plug and rocker arm , then drill holes at the end of the cracks , this to keep the crank from spreading . Then prepare the crack as I said above , heat area slowly , then a with small brazing rod fill the crack with braze . Let cool slow as possible. Nice job , the Landi looks great .
Thank for the advice Paul! We ended up taking it to a machine shop and thankfully they have welded it up for us. Fingers crossed it holds!
All the best, Kendall and Glenn.
I know you've run into some serious aggro but don't give up!
Nigel is looking really good!
Almost there!
Loving following along on this project. About to start my own on a vintage Land Cruiser so I'm preparing myself for a few of these moments myself. Hope the head replacement/fix comes soon!
Showing an amazing amount of determination and patience guys! What a project! Can’t wait to see end product! I bet it goes the same for you! Good luck with overcoming your obstacles!
It took me ten years of weekends with a big push at the end with help from mechanics. It was worth it. You guys are great and Nigel will bring a lot of joy to all kinds of folks. Invest in security and buy a tracker though.
Oh dear! Off comes the head. But not too catastrophic. Just another frustrating part of the game. Project looking fantastic. What an amazing effort!!
We’re very thankful it’s not any worse!
You've done so well. That won't stop you. You will have learnt so much from rebuilding Nigel.
A stump when new, if you are drilling it out with a half diameter drill bit,
Will usually spin out while drilling.
Replace bolt not with soft cheap bolts but high tensile quality bolts,
and tbey wont break.
Water bolts...can leak if you dont let silicon go tacky before screwing in.
remember that if you disturb a bolt, it probably would leak after that.
Make sure you dont pressurise the cap and system for a week roughly.
let silicon dry fully. Cheers, Andrew
Great video, thankyou.
Your videos are amazing and inspirational! All your blood, sweat and tears will be worth it once you’re rolling down the road in Nigel on your next adventure. Keep on truckin ❤️😎
Oh man I am so sorry!! Such a bump in the road. Sending huge hugs and support and love
With such a big low you're due a huge high. Keep riding this wave.
Marty from Perth
If we’ve learned one thing from our time on the road it’s that ‘it comes in waves’! Surely this means a big high is coming!
Pumpkin, my '82 VW Vanagon came to me with a rewelded head. The head lasted about 40K miles at which point I had my mechanic put in a rebuilt engine. Here's hoping that your weld holds up better than mine, and that you can replace the head before it trashes the whole engine.
Been great to watch your progress. Your videos are always a joy.
Big difference between alloy & cast iron when it comes to welding.
Great work, you guys are really getting a kick on. Since your last video, I managed to find a donor dash for my series iii 109 hardtop and I thought I was making progress. Don't get too discouraged.
The ultimate test of your patience!!!
I feel for you buddy you’ve done the hard yards but stick with the the philosophy of “not problems only solutions “ and everything will work itself out. Well done it’s looking great
Oh no😢 Hope it’s not too much of a drama for you! Good luck overcoming this latest obstacle. You’ve got this👊
I guess you can't help bad luck, but it certainly sucks the wind out of you. Don't let it get you down.
Roofing tar paint is really good for covering bolts and screws that rust.
All the best going forward. I would investigate chemical welding, there are some great products out there. Also, I hope that puny air filter is temporary. No good for dusty roads and will be awfully noisy. I'd try to source an original oil bath filter, Rover knew what they were up against in the original design.
I feel for you hope it all works.❤
Finger’s crossed we can figure this out!
Nice work with the bolts. Buga about the head. Just gotta use the same level of persistence you've shown so far, and move forward. I'll be coming along for the journey👻
Thanks Julian! Let’s hope we don’t have any more road blocks after this 😅🤞🏼
I feel for you guys. I thought I was the only one who had that kind of luck. You know it'll all work out in the end. It just sucks at the moment.
Oh no, now what ? It was going so smoothly. Hope it'll be an easy fix. 😊
That is, at this stage, a massive and real "Oh Sh*t" Hope you got sorted with the least amount of pain .. .. ..
Oh no that's a roadblock right there. I hope you can get past it without too much pain
Thanks mate, us too! 😅🤞🏼
So sad to see the stumbling events. I hope this is past and you now have a working 4x4
Mate, I do not envy the task. But I can sympathise. Very similar experience with another British engine in the past.
Love the vid.
They sure make us work for them don’t they! 😅
i suggest you check whether copper lines are legal where you are (SA?) i went through this in WA and they are not legal in WA apparently they dont like it as copper work- hardens and cracks i had to go steel as per the original
oh my, can that crack in the head be repaired? yous have come so far and its looking good.
We’re looking into getting it welded and then getting a refurbished one down the line to replace it with, but we’ll see! 🤞🏼
I don't doubt that you will get it sorted. Still can't help but think FFFFFFUUUUUU
All the best with it.
LS swap
Oh Glenno, this takes me back 25yrs to my last rebuild (type 2 pop top) .
Snapped bolts, excess bolts, missing bolts, scraped knuckles and rusty hair and eyes 😂 plenty of frustrating moments go into a build, but Nige is looking good, thanks to you guys doing it properly 🍻
You know the feeling all too well!!
