You deserve a bigger audience as your videos are unique on TH-cam. I'll spread the word about your channel.
I'm a simple man. There's a new SOUP episode, I'm dropping everything to watch it. Keep it up, George!
Don't drop your beer Dave 😉🤘🏼
Cracking stuff as ever. Deserves a much bigger audience really. Im doing my best to share this with all my petrol head friends.
Who is this interesting, well informed, devastatingly good looking guy you keep interviewing George??? ;)
😂
It's interesting listening to this in March 2023. The new defender now having come out.
I have a 93 discovery V8 that's been sat for 4 years and watching your videos have give me the shove to get on with the work
Get stuck into it Pete :) Thanks
Another great episode, and thanks for the shout out :)
Pleasure mate, you must have poured a massive amount into the Volvo [time and fuel 😉]
Another great episode. I'm still getting notifications and glad to be getting them......good to see a fellow JLR employee giving a good and interesting interview. Don't worry George the Defender will live on......
Oh now I'm wondering how much you know Steven 😀Glad you're getting notifications, have received many more message from folk who didn't for one or two episodes prior to this one. Hopefully things are back to normal.
Neat design for the metal brake. Jimmy Diresta would be proud of your ingenuity.
Thanks for the ref. hadn't heard of him Bruce. Just watched this. Love the guy straight off, instantly inspiring. th-cam.com/video/Icwi59Rs17I/w-d-xo.html
Nice channel, nice format. So well done!!
Great episode George. The Range Rover looking really smart, and the sheet metal brake starting to look like a work of art.
Getting there slowly but surely Dave 🙂
Automatic like. Great to see a new video from you, thanks!
Excellent!!! Cheers from Argentina!
Appreciate it pal!
Great quality as usual George. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks Dan :)
Yet another great episode. Thank you again for so much hard work George.
No thanks needed Gray, it's I who should be thanking you!
Woo hoo! Land Rover centric episode!!! Nice progress. 👍
😇
Great stuff as usual
Cheers Ger, looking forward to having a rolling RR again ;)
Well what can I say I'm really impressed with how you've made these videos I've been watching them and I must admit you've really shown how things work, I absolutely love how you show part by part break down that's so fantastic and in my books better than a Haynes manual lol as for the lotus well that's my favorite classic car id love one of those so beautiful the shape the look everything about the esprit can't wait for that to be finished, what more than sitting by a river in your lotus on a summers evening with an ice-cold Magners or Guinness watching the sun go down and saying to the world " THATS NICE " keep up the hard work it'll be worth it in the end.
Excellent episode! I am looking forward to seeing how the press is going to turn out!
Eager for it myself Ivan, soon!
Awesome videos. Keep it up, you are going to be huge.
Trying to lose some of the weight pal, don't rub it in 😉 appreciate the comment!
Great episode George.
best of luck sorting out the new digs! keep going strong!
🙏🏼
Good Progress Man.
👍🏼
Nice work asking the defender question - it would have been pretty incredible if you'd got a scoop on release date/what the design is!
Loving the piano frames by the way, they're a fantastic shape!
haha that'd be something alright Harry, the two bit youtuber gets the 4x4 scoop of the centry 😅
Finally got to watch this episode in Frankfurt Airport. Great episode.
Thank you kind sponsor! [and happy trails] What do you know about removing the adhesive left by a wrap, I've a big job for you 😅
SOUP Classic Motoring , Take the wrap off with a steamer. Like the wall paper strippers. This softens the wrap and it then peels of with ease. If glue is left behind then use citrus tar and glue. Wash and then finish off with Purple Passion to cleanse the pain further.
One thought on the brake. Add a couple of brackets that allow you to make sure the knife doesn't get pushed back by the leaf. I've added some M12 bolts to brackets that are behind the bolt and spring arrangements on mine and it makes a world of difference when the metal thickness hits the 1.5 mm range. Fabulous content - Love your channel - I share it often.
Hey Craig, thought I'd replied to this... the thing with my brake is I actually got the clamping jaw a little wrong and if anything it's too far forward. It'd actually be good if there was enough movement in it that it's push back but sod's law it's rock solid. Have been wondering if I could get it on a mill to have the edge of it taken back [and squared] but I have a feeling the whole thing won't be in one piece again until the weather gets a bit better. The legs are outside. Thanks for sharing mate :)
When I made mine I just carefully levelled the clamping leaf with my grinder with a new grinding disk. It's been good enough for sheet metal work. It still bends a little in the middle because I've not added the stiffening that you've got on yours and it's been fine. I'm going to make my clamping slot a little longer so that I can add some short pieces of stock to turn it into a box brake of sorts!
Good to see you back again George. You have done well with cleaning and painting the rear of the chassis and the diff...well the diff was being a bit 'diff' with all those weeping points but your nearly got there in the end. You are quite right about heating up the metal before hand too for penetration and the same goes for the caste iron parts on the sheet metal folder/piano legs and using a decent stick welder but needs must, my friend. Your Aldi/Lidl mig welder has done it's best and it should be good enough to at least get the Range Rover moving/mobile. The sheet metal folder may end up being the heaviest single piece to move and in your new workshop...(work with my here George) it will be a focal point along with the obligatory wood burner and 'beer fridge'. Might be an idea to fit some for of heavy duty castors incase you want to move it safely but I think that when it's 'in place'....it's in place? Don't forget the Esprit windscreen when you finally switch off the lights and close the door on the current workshop for the last time.
The old welder has more than proven it's worth. No it's not nearly good enough but I've given the Vogue a new lease of life with it so it deserves some kudos doesn't it! If I can build a workshop with a little office and a cot I'd be a happy man Mal, the fridge would be very fancy indeed 😀
Hi George, I hope you sort out your workshop worries soon. Loving the brake press. I has a Delica for 3 years, very underestimated vehicle, great for the family, very rugged. Keep up the great work.
The old Mitsubishi's are tough machines for sure Chris, and the Delica must be one of the most practical?
Brilliant episode! Harry metcalfe just did a video on his new esprit- might be of interest!
Was eagerly awaiting that one Daire, thanks for the heads up. Really nice to see someone with a bit of clout appreciating the Esprit. I think the car's time has finally come.
Hi freshandminty from RR here. Nice progress. Sorry if I missed it but axle painting process was cleaning with degreaser, then painted with two coats of rustbullet and then you’ll paint black metal paint over the top? Good luck with the move!
Hi matey, yeah that was the way it went alright, hopefully I tagged the last of the leaks but if the bumph on the paint can is good then even if there's a tiny pinhole the paint should hold it until I get a better welder [and more skills] 😅
Excellent episode George. So it sounds like the new defender is not even on the drawing board yet. My 18 year old defender 110 will have to plod on for a few more years yet then! As for the metal brake, maybe some foot plates from an old steam train would be good to use for standing on. Now you need to find a salvage yard. Good luck with the move. ATB, Rob.
Your 110 will plod on FOREVER! Never say die ;) Thanks mate!
Love the show, brazing would be the default way to repair a broken casting, but would require a lot of heat.How about plating the breaks and using steel rivets. Or a slightly lower tech option would be to use button head bolts and acorn nuts.
Think I'd like a plate better than a weld or braze, if I've time I can make the plate pretty like some of the other touches too.
Another top episode there George. A brace of Vauxhalls are keeping me from reviving the Dolomite but I'm keeping the battery charged for the day when I can get it running again.
Is 'brace' the collective term for a load of Vauxhalls? I never knew 😉
"brace" means a pair so I've got a couple of Vauxhalls keeping me busy. There's the Vectra C which I'm putting through the MoT (UK version of the NCT) and I'm trying to revive a Corsa C which hasn't run since I swapped the engine.
Haha so it does! What do you suspect is up with the Corsa? A missed wire or earth maybe?
Fuel is getting up to the fuel rail so it has to be electrical. Either the coilpack isn't sparking or the injectors aren't firing. I probably did something when I swapped the engine.
So satisfying to see the bits of the range rover all painted up! I think your idea with the art deco touch to the foot plate of the sheet metal bender is good and I suspect that if this helps lower the height of the step it might be a nicer to use. Depending on where you are putting it you could have some art deco style feet perpendicular to the piano frames that are designed so you can bolt through them to the floor
Like your thinking Matt, I was wondering about bolting it to the floor too. Hoping to make the foot plate curved too, but we'll see what happens ;)
Good Stuff George. Sidenote to your welding and chasing pinholes its going to be more down to your welder than you ability a good gas mig welder you wouldnt run into those issues. Being a Land Rover owner and offroader. As good as new technology is you cant beat coil sprung live axles and locked differentials. I love to see the new defender retain live axles and come with proper diff locks. I've just been 4wding for a week in Tasmania with a twin locked Discovery 1 on 33's and it done all the hard tracks Tassie has to offer. That's also why its taken 6 days to get around to watching your Video. Keep up the quality content.
I figured as much, well I hoped as much about the welder. It'll be a grand day when I replace it ;) Love the oldschool Tasmanian adventures! That simplicity and brick sh1t house build quality is what I love about classic cars in general. Although some are more portaloo than brick house 😅
Lovely one George - really enjoyed the insights into the new Defender - for me it should be a bit like the new G-Wagen - ie totally re-engineered to iron out all the well known issues, but be pretty much identical in looks and utility to the old ones. Tighten up the details, and remove visual noise like all the best RestoMods do :)
Yeah resto mod is a nice way to look at a potential new Defender... it'd be such a cool move if LR produced a live axled machine with a minimum of electrikery and faithful styling.
Fantastic, unique tutorial videos, you are amazing getting the work done plus the photography btw I have watched the other R R video and when I done my Discovery 1 I used 2mm box section for the sills, because the pre made sills were hideously priced. Btw how did you get the soft focus "soup" tail lights in the video
Thanks for the kind words man :) Should a magician reveal his tricks? It's a trick of bokeh using custom made filters. Thanks again.
Well done getting the rust off. Those wire wheel things you use on the drill only take off the loose stuff and from my experience they sort of polish the rust into the metal which comes back after a few months...
The trick is using the grinder instead of a drill, and a knotted wire brush rather than the straight ones. Like these; tinyurl.com/ybzvqn3j They'll pull rust back to bare metal much better.
SOUP Classic Motoring thanks for the reply. I'll get one of those and give it a go. So annoying watching rust return after spending hours grinding and painting. I will use any info I pick up here. The good thing about your videos is your not flogging any products so it's unbiased and bs free.
👌🏼
Absolutely, I've slowly realised the two greatest things you can do is A. store cars indoors, and B. try and avoid gritted roads when at all possible. Best of luck Terry.
Hi George interesting episode. The vogue is coming on a treat. Went looking for a new car for the missus and went looking as landrovers as I'm a landrover man.two of my friends already had there strange rovers keyless entry stolen in London. They all look the same now. They lost there individuality. The engines are not grate (no offence Richard) not enough v8s, only in the big range rover. And definitely feel disgusted with the beckhams (she couldn't sing and definitely can't design car's.) landrover have lost their way and forgotten about the people who got them there. I think all things landrover done under ford and BMW were better and true to the original way of thinking. That said herself is getting a Mercedes and I'm getting my p6 v8 bock on the road. Rebuilt engine with hot cam, rebuilt gearbox.
Tough to relate to the current LR offering isn't it, it'd be nice if they brought back a little of the old company. So did the cars materialise? Didn't mean to let the comments slip so long. The P6 sounds like fun.
Love the video! I look forward to everyone that you put out. Your work on the Range Rover is very inspiring.
What is the silver paint that you are using?
The paint is called Rust Bullet, Sid in E.04 recommended it Josh. I figure if it's good enough for Sid's restos, it's good enough for mine.
I was thinking when your completed your sheet metal former. Could you put all the content together in one video? So I can refer to it start to finish of building one.
100%. Good idea. Just need to cobble together the time.
If you work on L/R engines, why do you fit big end and main bearing shells without the tangs that have been fitted for 50 years? The small tangs that stop the bearings from turning in the housings? I would love to hear the answer to that one. Paul.
I'm looking for my 1984 Honda civic MK2 ( I think) that I sold for a pint of Budweiser back in 1998!! I recently saw one on sale for 3k ......that's a lot of Budweiser!!!!
Well at least there's a rock 'n' roll element to that story Rolf, if you want to send me a photo and some more info, click on the channel name under the video and then go to the about section for the email. Rather not post it here ;)
I didn't receive update emails for a couple of episodes, along with lots of my other subs too. Thankfully things seem to be settling down at youtube now.
Knew it! We don't get the ability to talk to a real person at YT until the channel has 10k subs so I don't het any solid info, but if you look at the figures for the last couple of episodes... something was definitely up.
Your break won't go over 90 degrees. You'll find you NEED to on some more springy metals just to end up with a full 90 degree bend... At least that's been my experience...
It was in the original plan Paul, I deliberated over cutting down the clamping jaw ends but I'm going to reinforce the folding leaf directly under the inboard ends of the hinges and then cut away the plate that at the moment is stopping it going past 90˚. You're paying attention 🤘🏼
What paint are you using here?
Was a brush on metal primer made by Lowe. I'd start with to part epoxy primer now.
My comment about *some* other manufacturers not building their cars as tough had a perfect demonstration, specifically on the engine mounts, in Episode 6 of the last series of Top Gear - the Volvo XC60 broke it's engine mounts not just once but twice, while the Range Rover Velar sailed through all the tests. Would have won too, if Rory hadn't got lost, and if he could reverse a trailer - should have specified the Advanced Tow Assist www.landrover.com/vehicles/range-rover-velar/technologies.html
haha no back tracking with words like 'some' in bold Richard 😄
Yeah boiiiiiiiii!!!!!
🤘🏼😝
C'mon, you really didn't knew nothing about the new Defender back then?
you liar :)
Good stuff mate.
It was all hearsay back then. Thanks a mill :)
land rover making their own engines.. and diesel?? madness.
Well it's the group I suppose. LR haven't made their very own engines since the Td5 ;)
Isn't true that Land Rover isn't really all that great of an off roader? I would have to say other off road vehicles are better.
Everyone has their favourites ;)
15K subs in a week mate, things are about to explode! I bet you feel psyched about it.
Finally a little movement!
@@soupclassicmotoring - Well deserved too!
