Many a scrap of gold though!! They are just things Mr Foreman, experiences are far more important. Downsizing comes at a cost, on the plus side I will be living next to a beatiful clean estuary system full of fishes and only minutes out to sea from my new front door.
hi. greetings from england,great to see the series one being restored, i have a corgi toys series 1 made in 1962 which sits in our living room, Ned the horse looks happy with the l/rover.look forward to the next video
Hi Steve , I'm just putting my 80" back together after 11 years off the road ...... it's taking a darn sight longer than it took you to rebuild that 107 though , I must be doing something wrong . Cheers from UK .
Ha, every project requires time and money put into it, sadly it requires both and I often have niether :-). keep picking away at it, it's worth saving.
I've got the LR bug again actually it never left! Finances have improved so I left a note on a S111 swb road side with grass growing beneath it. Who knows stranger things have happened? Like you are going to, I live in the suburbs with very little space. Work that out if it comes to it. Best wishes for a smooth move to your new place.
When I finish my current project I’ll be after a shorty for mechanical resto but leaving the patina. If I could bottle patina, I’d make a fortune, there’s certainly a market for it.
Indeed Ross, the faux patina never looks quite right though, the Australian sun leaves a very particular patina that is very unique and distinguishable.
See the old 107" station wagon ( @ 0:20 minutes ) still standing where you dropped her off 3 years ago.... At least she is "in the eye" now, working on your conscience 😂
Ha, I even sold a few caravans, one of my fishing boats and a few of my vintage guitars!! very serious... but it is actually quite liberating to reduce the amount of stuff. We are moving from limitless space in the big house and farm to a suburban block so its kinda gotta happen, the good thing with selling though is it gives me cash to buy :-) Enjoy the last of your summer the autumn is coming.
Great video. “The boneyard, where Land Rovers come to wait their turn.” is my new motivational quote for the various projects I’ve been ignoring. Whenever I enter my shop, I’ll only be able to see a Pixar version of each neglected project, jumping up and down, frantically waving their one good arm and screaming “Pick me. Pick me.” Question. What was the purpose of the blue tarp over the winch cable? Were you concerned the cable might snap? Thanks.
Ha, I had to sell off some projects as they were giving me mental anxiety sitting there going backwards. Every project needs a time and money budget and I did the maths on the time and could not get them all done without a few extra lives (not to even think about the cash requirement)!! The blue thing was a blanket and it stops the winch cable whipping dangerously if it snaps (a rare display of safety).
Yes, the same tub goes on 107 and a 109. You are correct the 2" diffrence is in the chassis just in front of the bulkhead and hence the guards are 2" longer on a 109 ( and a 88). 107 and 86 are the same front guards as each other.
Russle, they come and go in my life it seems, mabye I am just the connection between the paddock and the road for these old cars, the thrill of pulling them out and getting them to where they need to be is what I am into at the moment.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia He sure is. I’ve seen the breeders of Clydesdales at Towong,, I also know of a certain Land Rover guru in Towong going by the name of Nev. I reckon a sharp fellow such as yourself would be on to these matters. All these factors could no be linked, could they?

Really nice to see these going to new homes where they'll be rebuilt and not broken for spares and profit
Thanks Stu, all these cars will make it back, I'd rebuild a car from a badge :-) Hope you're doing well.
Thanks Steve! Hello Ned.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it, Ned said Hi back :-)
some nice projects right there
Indeed, the boyz will be kept busy getting them back on the road.
I get dizzy just watching all those beautiful projects! Great stuff
Ha, you have enough projects brother :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Is 3 enough? 😉
@@slowshop probably not, perhaps a few more if Mrs Martin does not get angry,
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia I was lucky enough to marry a lady (Madelen) who love old cars too. 👌
Superbe , thank you for the share !
You are very welcome Alex, glad you enjoyed it :-)
That's a small fortune of scrap in your yard. Seeing George go was a heart breaking moment, your made of tougher stuff than I.

Thanks Peter, I have a little collection of toy rovers also, lovely little things and far more affordable than the real ones :-)
Loved all these easy going videos, do you have plans for any more? Missing the series 1's and Perentie action. 👍
Got a few vids on the go but busy making a living at present.
I love to see all that old land rovers on the island just have 2 series 1 one is running and the other is on a barn
Lucio, 2 is enough to keep you out of trouble (or get you into trouble, not sure which :-))

Really hope you get it Porter, they are good things to keep you busy and occupied :-)

I sold the wagon to a guy in Melbourne that has the resources to restore it properly. There is a video about it.
If you love something let it go! This downsizing looks serious mate! You're right to rationalise your projects. Stay safe and happy mate!

Hi Steve, I am restoring a 1954 107. Does a 109 tub fit on a 107?? I am of the understanding that the extra length in a 109 is from the cab forward.
Yes, the same tub goes on 107 and a 109. You are correct the 2" diffrence is in the chassis just in front of the bulkhead and hence the guards are 2" longer on a 109 ( and a 88). 107 and 86 are the same front guards as each other.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia thanks for your reply.
If you have a good set of hood bows for a S1 86in I am looking to buy them.
Sorry David, I don't unfortunatly.
Are you keeping one for yourself Steve?
Russle, they come and go in my life it seems, mabye I am just the connection between the paddock and the road for these old cars, the thrill of pulling them out and getting them to where they need to be is what I am into at the moment.
Ned is beautiful.
He is a lovely boy

Could I possibly buy a landrover. Australia badge please and I will even pay you the postage
Mmmm I don't have any sadly :-)
