This wasn't part of the plan... DIY Dashboard for our Land Rover Series 3

- We hit a big hurdle this week as we remove our dashboard only to find it completely warped and rusted! This certainly wasn't on our list of things to do as we rebuild the engine, but as with all old car tasks, surprises are always part of the package.
See you on the next one!

Nice. Busy with my own Series 3, and pulled out my dash last week, in preparation of taking out my Bulkhead, and I'm going to have to go through the same process as you did in the video, so thumbs up for the perfect prep video. When I saw the bottom of the dash, rusted and crumbling, I shuddered thinking of how mine looked.
Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
Best of luck with yours! :)
Incredible effort there.
One of my favourite updates so far.
I love that you will give anything a go.
Dude, you should be seriously proud of that dash.
I rebuild landys as a "lifestyle choice". That dash rebuild is next level. Full respect.
Thanks so much mate! Great "lifestyle choice" btw. hahah We're right there with ya!
Very talented couple.Can't wait for the new adventures.
I am so impressed! Most of us would have given up long ago. Your resilience and patience is commendable mate. Well done on everything you have done so far👏
Wow! I'm impressed! You did a great job with the dash and instrument cluster! Not sure I would have had the bravery to tackle a job like that. Especially with all those wires hanging loose. I would have spent an eon reconnecting them all. I hope you labeled them as you unhooked them. Looking forward to your next update.
It is amazing what can be done when you put your mind to it. Great job with the dash.
Well done on the instrument cluster rebuild, looks so good!
This is great! I spend most of my time working on the Landy just staring into the abyss....
Really nice work Glen. It is amazing what you can do with so few tools
Thanks Roger!
Good on you for giving it a go rebuilding the dash. May never be exactly the same as factory but at least you can say you built it yourself and it didn’t cost you a fortune 👍👍
Thanks Eric. It's certainly been a journey!
Actually super inspired by the metalwork. Going to give it a go. Nice work got the job done and another skill you'll perfect over time. Nice one.
Keep up the good work love it when young people have a go .
So proud of you guys.
Cheers Tim and Trish ❤❤
Thanks a lot Tim and Trish!
Nice work, very impressed on the dash fabrication.
I can watch hundreds possibly thousands of travellers in $100 000 + rigs travelling around many countries , but it's so much more enjoyable to follow folks that are happy to do it in a more wholesome way ,,,
This comment means a lot! Really appreciate it!
Glenn, Great job on dash. I'm totally surprised you didn't injure yourself. No shoes, no goggles, no gloves. I eould already have injured myself. Love your videos. Can't wait to see what's next. Thanks for the update
Hi Glenn ,yes I had a mate that lost his finger from doing metal work on a boat from just wearing his wedding ring. do be careful .Safety does come first,but your project is coming along very well.
Thanks a lot for the concern David. I'm definitely wary of the dangers involved with rings but not using machinery and working on machinery with moving parts I assessed it and didn't see any risk. Thanks a lot for following along and I'll be sure to remove the rings when getting into the bigger stuff :)
Well done. All coming together nicely. You are doing a great job.
Bloody rippa work guys!
What adhiesive did you use for the foam to vinyl stage please?
I can't seem to get a good bond on my trim panels and yours clearly sticks extremely well
Cheers mate! So at first we used Kwik-Grip spray which was terrible. And then we went to Clarke Rubber and got their specific foam adhesive spray and that stuff was incredible. So good to work with the difference is insane. It's expensive but after this experience I would never do it without it. Was shocked how much better it was.
@@KendallandGlenn thanks for that and the quick response 🙏
Great skills 👌👌
That dash looks a million bucks. You done good!!!
so epic man! well done
amazing work man!
Even l was chuffed. Seeing you making the two triangles.
While wearing your Japanese safety shoes.
This was seriously impressive 👏🏽 and really enjoyable to watch
Aw thanks guys that means so much!
That dash came up awesome especially when you don’t have the “proper tools” presses and stuff. You should be really proud of it. Top stuff 👌🏼
Thanks a lot Thomas :)
All that metal with such a ghetto setup is impressive and inspiring. Such an entertaining video too, there's something relaxing about watching the struggle 🙈
Ghetto all the way! hahaha. Thanks mate!
I am impressed !!
Funny, I bought an ex Oz dash for my series III as usually they are much less rotten than British ones!
Beautiful creative work.
This was so satisfying to watch. Shoutout to the clamp 😂
That bloody clamp was the death of me hahaha
Bloody marvellous Glenn. Great work all round.
Considering you're not a professional "tin man" that fabricating work was top notch.
There's an expression where I come from that goes "He's so handy he could put an arsehole in a cat."
I think that applies here.
Bravo mate!
Thanks so much mate! I'm definitely going to use that saying from now on! hahaha
I’m glad I got within 30 minutes of this upload!
Keep up the great work
For rusty nut and bolts , mix up 50/50 auto trans fluid and acetone , works a treat , for degreasing , use oven cleaner , stiff or old brush , wear gloves and glasses , take care with this mixture on aluminium, just dont leave it on to long , buy a brick bolster and sharpen the edge and tap along the line were you are going to fold the sheet of metal , citric acid is good on rust , you can even use grape fruit ,,,
Thanks for the tips mate :)
Nice job! No need to give you any tips. You're nailing it 👍
Well done young fella
Dude, take off all jewellery when using machinery like this. Take those damn rings off before you lose a finger.
and gloves. I was scared watching that. but overall impressed and glad no lost fingers
Nah mate, you don't use gloves using a jigsaw or any rotating / reciprocating power tools @@BobBob-nx3yh
Thanks for the concern. I 100% agree when working with moving parts but in these circumstances I'm not sure what could damage my fingers more with wearing the rings. I am definitely wary of the dangers involved with wearing rings and metalwork and appreciate the comment :)
What a champ!
Can’t believe you don’t wear boots lol but brilliant work well done
And still no coffee
