A very satisfying to watch and learn video, especially for those few who didn't understand that you're foremost a restorer. Supreme finishes Lewis. I'm envious of your skills in prep and paintwork.
I like this format, interesting to see what a work week looks like for you. And you make the filler/sanding/paint process look so easy, it never is when I try :)
I must admit I enjoyed your " Land Rover/ Range Rover" comment as soon as I saw the car.When I was young yes a Landrover and Rangerover were two totally different cars.Now they have kind of become a generic metamorphis of each other.My brother in law has a farm and he has a metamorphic variant.Its neither a Landrover nor a Rangerover.
I had a car with a binding rear brake or other issue, never got to the bottom of it. I could only take it out in the rain, because driving through puddles at the kerb would cool her down, and I could observe the vapour trails in the rear mirror. Happy days.
Nice to see all those painting skills. Amazing how the smallest scratch or dent ends up with so much of the surrounding area being sanded and painted. I'm a touchup pen user myself. :-)
This was a fascinating look at your normal shop activities. Thanks for sharing. On a side note...I also have three cars in the shop at the moment, so I feel your pain about cars being "against us" lol !
On the tailgate regarding your comments on it chipping could it be because the raptor was in the base coat with the topcoat just paint ? I'm not a painter at all but just wondered if you added protector to the final coat would it not last better ? Nice to see how your week goes 😊 Also I feel your pain as fixing your own stuff sucks 😂 especially on a Friday !
I'm glad I'm not alone... a weeks plans last only as long as the middle of the first job in my experience! Loving the subtitles too, I think a rebrand is called for "White Lid Restorations", brilliant name but what are you going to do with all the merch you've ordered?
yes its a pain when you get your nuts too hot. loved this video a change is as good as a rest . was the caliper seized or flexy pipe delaminating and acting like a one way valve DONT FORGET tell the viewers its FREE to subscribe
@@WhitelandRestorationsOkay thanks Lewis for that. Over 40 years ago I had a Morris 1300 and the starter motor failed. I bought an identical used starter motor from a nearby shop. Fitted the starter motor and it turned the engine over fine. However, the engine wouldn't start despite being nothing wrong with the engine. Guess what was causing the engine not to start. Lastly thanks for the great videos.
It's the sanding that terrifies me. I know it has to be done. But the whole making it look so rough first. Then you reveal the improvements by the prep/degreasing wipe etc But still terrifies me.
@@WhitelandRestorations a series of skill videos. Would be great to watch. Video 1, how to turn the extractor fan on? Video 2, how to check microphones are working? Video 3, where to find pain codes? Video 4, how paints are mixed? Video 5, how sand paper grades work Etc etc
do they put that land rover through a rotary car wash not good for paint work all them horizontal scratches a local garage back when. had fitted a new car wash a customer put his mgbgt through and it flattened his roof the garage had to pay for new roof skin and painting the car wash computer didnt recognize the car shape i never use one and cringe when see one in use
I'm so glad it wasn't just my week that ended up in the bin 😅
Good to see this in with the mix of everything else.
Could watch this every week. Quite interesting and relaxing.
Really glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much for your kind words!
Master craftsman at work, great video, really like the week at Whiteland video

Great thing about restoration and bodywork is that every day is different and a surprise is never far away!
You have skills dude! I nearly spat my brew out when you fell off the stool haha
Thanks, always good viewing.
Thanks Brendon!
A general week at the shop was quite interesting 👍 More please.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁👍

Nice variety of content! Seems normal that a weeks planning doesn’t go to plan in my world(by Tues!) Satisfying finishes on the vehicles!
I had a car with a binding rear brake or other issue, never got to the bottom of it.
I could only take it out in the rain, because driving through puddles at the kerb would cool her down, and I could observe the vapour trails in the rear mirror. Happy days.
😂 We'll that's one way to deal with over heating brakes
One of your more interesting videos gd more please as for thinking u could have Friday for Volvo very nice too.
00:01 - The Volvo looks like a dormant Decepticon 😱
Monica's current mood!
That type of damage is what stickers are for in our house 🤣 only joking …nice work dude you make it look easy and it’s not 👍
Nice to see your day to day work load ,you make the mysterious art of paintwork look easy
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video loved it. Could have done with seeing how you fixed that brake though on the VW van. Seized callipers are a nightmare. 😮
Great Video Lewis!
Thank you Carlton!
Good content.
Love it keep them up cheers
Will do! Glad you liked it!
Nice to see all those painting skills. Amazing how the smallest scratch or dent ends up with so much of the surrounding area being sanded and painted. I'm a touchup pen user myself. :-)
Yeah especially with blending in a colour on a bigger panel and you've got to go to the surrounding panels!
Great to see what you get up to in the week and would be up for more. That disco looks amazing when you had finished 👍🏼
Much much better now it's had a little tlc. You'd never know it had a little car park battle damage
This was a fascinating look at your normal shop activities. Thanks for sharing. On a side note...I also have three cars in the shop at the moment, so I feel your pain about cars being "against us" lol !
It's like they know..... Esp if you talk about replacing them within in earshot! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great video. Can’t beat brake problems, especially when you can’t get the wheel off 😂.
Thanks! Funny thing is....the wheel bolts wouldn't come out because the socket had just snapped!
Hi friends! What is the name of the cool western music!? It's awesome. Love the content, keep up the amazing work!❤️
A fascinating insight into your work life, look forward to seeing more. Keep up the great work 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Peter!
Great video. Wish you were local to me. I need someone to do some bits and bobs on my Jeep.
Thanks for watching!
7:14 Better mixing skllz than Tom Cruise in "Cocktail". 😋👍🍹

Nice to see how your week goes 😊

Interesting video, keep them coming, good to see someone else working on cars.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Got to love the auto generated subtitles! Don't think a week has ever gone to plan in the history of plans!
More more.
Sure thing David!
Work you say. Tis witchcraft I say. Mechanics I can do. What you do is magic.
Sometimes we think mechanics is witchcraft! Don't get us started on carbs!
Nice format as it makes a change not that all your stuff isn't great anyway 👍
Thanks Rob!
yes its a pain when you get your nuts too hot. loved this video a change is as good as a rest . was the caliper seized or flexy pipe delaminating and acting like a one way valve DONT FORGET tell the viewers its FREE to subscribe
Just enough crud on the pistons to keep them on! Also turned out the wheel bolts wouldn't come out because the socket had just snapped 😂
@@WhitelandRestorations thanks thought it was going to be left a cliffhanger the mystery of the stuck on brake
What was causing the starting problem with the Volvo?
Goddammit Jim I'm a doctor not a carburettor specialist! 😂
@@WhitelandRestorations Okay thanks Lewis for replying, so I assume it was a carburettor problem.
Sorry Jim that star trek reference..... 😂 We're still not sure what's going on with it yet. There will be an update soon!
@@WhitelandRestorationsOkay thanks Lewis for that. Over 40 years ago I had a Morris 1300 and the starter motor failed. I bought an identical used starter motor from a nearby shop. Fitted the starter motor and it turned the engine over fine. However, the engine wouldn't start despite being nothing wrong with the engine. Guess what was causing the engine not to start. Lastly thanks for the great videos.
What about Monica's starting issues? Is she running now? Maybe I've missed something..?
She's still not starting Martin. We're hoping to have some good news about that soon!
@@WhitelandRestorations Thanks for the response. Good luck! 🍀🤗🍀
I was hoping to see a running 240 🙁
So were we 😔
It's the sanding that terrifies me. I know it has to be done. But the whole making it look so rough first. Then you reveal the improvements by the prep/degreasing wipe etc
But still terrifies me.
Takes a while to get used to it but once you've got over the 'damaging the paintwork' bit it gets easier with experience 😁
@@WhitelandRestorations a series of skill videos. Would be great to watch.
Video 1, how to turn the extractor fan on?
Video 2, how to check microphones are working?
Video 3, where to find pain codes?
Video 4, how paints are mixed?
Video 5, how sand paper grades work
Etc etc
Go easy on us Ford Escort fans 😂
Just having a joke with you.... Have to repair too many of them 😂
do they put that land rover through a rotary car wash not good for paint work all them horizontal scratches a local garage back when. had fitted a new car wash a customer put his mgbgt through and it flattened his roof the garage had to pay for new roof skin and painting the car wash computer didnt recognize the car shape i never use one and cringe when see one in use
Public car jet washes and automatic car washes are a nightmare when it comes to keeping paintwork pristine! Cause all sorts of scratches and swirls
buy english made in england donot buy soviet british made in china
