Youre an inspiration Sophie. I bought my 2001 Defender 90, 9 years ago, took take to my home in the mountains of Portugal. It's taken my wife and I to places we would never have seen otherwise and we love our Landy. But, I've always taken it to a local mechanic for every repair. Then I watched one of your videos and you seem so fearless. You'll literally tackle anything. So, now I'm having a go too. A 62 year old man, who's never touched a spanner before. Thank you Sophie.
I am speechless, I am without speech. All of the women that I've known if you asked them to do this they would be waving at you and not with all five fingers. Great job kid.
I have a galvanised chassis under one of my 2cvs that I fitted in the winter of ‘99/2000. Back then it was £350 and had a 10year guarantee. Needless to say 20 years on its still in fab condition and 100% worth the money. so by doing this to your s3 is definitely one of the best things you can do.
Hey Sophie, I showed your vids & this one to my mate who owns a smash repairs shop. He was very impressed with the work you've done. In his words, he said you've done better than any of his apprentices he's had over the years. Whoever has been teaching you should be proud of your work. My mate was also saying that he'd have you working on restoration projects. As he said, everything is in the details. I help my mate out on occasions. The project he's nearly completing is a 2008 Holden VE SV6 Ute for a paraplegic who wanted a ute. Making it user friendly was the hard part for me as I had to measure her for seating & hand controls. I also had to devise a remote lift for the hard lid to store her wheelchair in & modify the front passenger seat to carry her sports chair. Again a great video & you should be happy with the hard work you do. As my dad would say, "That's proper champion, that, lass!"
Thank you to each one of you that said such lovely things, I really appreciate it! It sounds like you’re going to really positively impact this ladies life which is brilliant. Best of luck to you, it sounds like your volunteering is doing some wonderful things. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the future videos☺️
My fantasy is to build a Land Rover from scratch like this. Unfortunately I don’t have a garage or any outside space, or any tools. So maybe when I win the lottery! In the meantime it will be great to watch your channel Sophie.
You go girl, nice to see a young lady interested in Land Rovers, well done flower, i'v got a 1995 p38 diesel which is my daily driver, as well as being renovated at the same time, when i've got the weekend to myself.
I just found your channel this evening and think that what you are doing with your Land Rovers and the passion you have for them is absolutely brilliant!! :)
I have been an Industrial Painter Blaster/Sprayer for 45 years I am very impressed on your knowledge of stripe coating and your knowledge of looking after heavy steel well done young lady your way of working is better than half of the painters I have worked with over many years I say again fantastic commitment and job
I've been working on Fabrication work since I was a kid with my late dad, then 17 years in the Reserves and Regluar Army as a REME Mechanic. I've done countless trailers, Land rovers, Chassis swaps, Welding and Fab Work, Hot Rods etc...I cannot fault her, top performance all round. Nice to see a girl doing it and doing it correctly ...looking forward to seeing more work from her
You're fantastic. I never knew you could get brand new galvanised chassis. I've seen galv before but I just thought it was people who sent theirs in to be galvanised. Thanks for your videos, I'm very impressed.
Good for you! I learned welding in high school and although I don't use it that often, it's a skill I'll always have. You are a surprise at every turn. How many women say, "hey, I'm going to learn to weld."
you do really nice work! I was a little sorry when you started prepping the beautifully galvanized chassis, but I fully agree with your reasoning. And since its an old vehicle, it should look period correct. The chassis is really nice job and very good deal! Your commenting is also very pleasant and your explanations and technical advise are very useful! Build yourself a simple rotisserie, so you can easily rotate your chassis
Great job! Very exciting to see your Series 3 being so beautifully restored. You have high standards. That Landy will be so cool when done. I love my ‘71 Series IIA. Being working on it and driving it over 12 years. Your 110 is also awesome!
Blimey! Sophie I worked on my first LR restoration/rebuild about 10 years ago and nothing I manged to do got anywhere near the level of skill and attention you are using, there are many of us that would love the skills you seem to pick up with what seems to be an inherent knowledge (perhaps inherited!). I added your details to the UK Cars section of my site today in the hope that more people will be able to join you on this journey and learn with you.
Prep is often overlooked so great to see you taking the time to do it well. I learned to weld (self taught) years ago. Mig is so much easier than stick but good to know both. Take care welding galvanized metal. The heat produces zinc oxide fumes that are toxic so deep grind the metal through to the steel. If you see a white fluffy surface to a weld its zinc and will need to be ground deeper. Well done for all your hard work.
I like your style! Humble presentation that shows a lot of research and knowledge. You even show your mistakes :) I look forward to the next parts in this series, and other series to come. PS your accent is perfect for voice over.
In less than a minute I knew this was an excellent channel to subscribe to! This chassis up rebuild (and what a chassis it is!) looks to be a great way to learn new skills and familiarise oneself with every aspect of the vehicle! I'm particularly interested in seeing how you get on welding as I have recently bought a Mig welder, followed by a (DC) Tig/Stick welder and Plasma Cutter. A Land Rover will certainly provide opportunities for welding, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of carrying out one's own repairs (although it may not feel particularly satisfying at the time!).
The devilbiss FLG gun is a great starter gun to be using! i also agree that the more work you put in to protect the metal the longer you can enjoy the jeep down the line. Good work
You are amazing! Not because you're a woman restoring a Landrover, but because your knowledge and mechanical aptitude is incredible for any 21 year old and you are not permanently attached to a piece of technology! Well done, I'll keep watching you!
I’ve just started rebuilding my Series II and your videos have been extremely helpful. You have a very natural and easy to understand way of presenting and describing what you are doing. Thank you for making these videos.
Part of learning to weld is learning how to enjoy deep, lasting burns and that things that are very hot don’t necessarily look hot. Also, if you do ever need to modify that chassis, welding galvanised steel isn’t great for your health as a general rule so take care with that
Sure I've said this before in your comments but again your confident approach to the work is very inspiring! You just get stuck in. I predict your going to successful in life whatever you do.
I don't think I have ever commented on any youtube videos before. But, I just had to say how amazing these videos are! Your knowledge and understanding even down to a technical level is more than impressive, great job! We have a series 1 in storage that needs to be restored and your down to earth and can-do attitude is a massive inspiration to me to get going with it! Can't wait for the next videos! Keep up the great work!
Excellent videos and project. It's good to see a woman who is clearly doing something like this because she loves it, not using her looks as clickbait. In terms of suggestions, I would be making more use of wire brush on an angle grinder and decoke brush on a drill for rust removal - much easier and quicker than by hand. Also, to remove rust in pitted steel, hydrochloric acid (sold as brick cleaner) is good. Brushed on this will remove even deeply pitted rust. You can follow this with Jenolite for a perfect finish. Jenolite will only convert surface rust on pits, leaving rust underneath. Thus will inevitably activate again and continue to rust.
Brilliant nice to see Landy's coming back to life and as a fellow Northener (Lancashire) its also nice to hear your accent :D, young woman like you give me hope I have 6 daughters and I would say your attitude and attention to detail is a positive role model for them :)
Yep, while it almost feels like cheating, you can either buy a new chassis & bulkhead, or you can keep patching your chassis & bulkhead until you have a hand-made chassis & bulkhead of dubious quality that is going to require more patching in a few years. Great vid Sophie, looking forward to more. :)
It’s a good video, but it costs £1000s of pounds for new bulk head a chassis, my 90 really could do with a chassis but I’ll be patching it for a good few years yet. It would have been nice to see her fix up the old rather than buy the 2 components, but i suppose if she has the money fair play to her.
@@menditman2004 Great idea with the way she's going about her restoration. The new chassis and new dash panel (bulkhead), when well prepared, will last for many years if Sophie keeps out of the salt water. I drove Land Rovers for almost exactly 30 years. I never had a chassis rust out. I lived with them just outside of New York City, Salt Lake City and Montana before moving to San Diego (where I did play with my Series III 88" in salt water a few times). Each winter I took my L-R to the car was about one a month if not more often. And any time I drove in salt water, I'd wash the Land-Rover off very carefully several times. My wash jobs included spraying water right into the chassis on both sides of the frame rails. (I bought my 1972 SIII 88" NADA DHT 2.25 petrol and drove it until 1992 when it was stolen. I had a Series IIA, 1962 88" station wagon before that; I also had a 1967 NADA 6-cylinder station wagon for 10 or 12 years.) No Land Rover that I owned had serious rust issues. Take good care of the Land Rover, and it will take good care of you. A very nice video. And, Sophie, you are going about it in the best possible way! Congratulations!!
@@andymckane7271 Hi yes I agree it’s the best way, but i would think your talking about £4000 ish to replace chassis and bulk head. I personally wouldn’t spend that amount on a series 3, they weren’t the best to drive and not the most desirable Land Rover (even though in recent years they have become more popular for collectors) . Some one I work for has just bought a series 2 (which I do like much better) and said it’s awful to drive, my 90 and 110 defenders are a pleasure to drive and have that important power steering, but it’s all about personal choice. I would like a series 1 though but it would be more of a museum piece for me (maybe one day I’ll get one).
Great vid Sophie & great to see the new chassis. Bit of advise, although the chassis are hot dipped galvanised it doesn't always flow into the insides of the chassis every where so it's well worth the little extra time and money spraying inside with waxoil or dinitrol. Will make a big difference years down the line. Most chassis rot from the inside out due to the condensation. Just my experience. Stay safe and keep the updates coming.
Thank you! I will be using the Corroless corrosion inhibiting cavity wax once I take the chassis out of dry storage. I should’ve mentioned this in the video, but I have the applicator gun with nozzles to get in those cavities and box section 😊
Gregory Dobson Hi Greg I've got a Defender 110 2014 I got it this year as I intend to do some serious miles (with my roof rack tent) across Europe and Africa etc what would you recommend to seal the underside? No corrosion right now of course but its still relatively new. Many thanks
Hi Morgan, hammerite make an under body sealant which has added waxoyl in it. I have used it on many vehicles to good effect. Also a company called Frost restoration have some good paint products as well.
Proper chuffed this popped up in my recommendations, what a great project this is shaping up to be already. I would love to work on a Landy of my own some day, keep up the good work, I'll be taking notes!
Great stuff. You asked for any product recommendations, so here goes. Bonda Primer is an excellent primer to use on top of Jenolite and I found that using these two products together, they kill the rust and it doesn't come through - 4 years on my MG - that's a miracle.
Well done on a job well done. I've yet to do a Mordant wash on my 90 galvanised chassis. Then I'll be using Buzzwelds GIO chassis black and WAR inside the chassis and all hidden cavities.
Great Job Sophie, looking forward in seeing the rest of the videos and the finished job. Hope all goes well and good Luck not that I think you'll need it.
Excellent work. Meticulous attention to detail, love your deep explanations of the product you are using. Your knowledge is amazing. Looking forward to see the final result.

I am a professional for 35 years, and I have to give you a compliment for being so passionate and technical in handling your work.
Youre an inspiration Sophie. I bought my 2001 Defender 90, 9 years ago, took take to my home in the mountains of Portugal.

Get the Haynes manual for it, or similar. Its never too late to learn something new and working on your own cars is very rewarding!
@@mikescudder4621 Thanks Mike, already have. That, TH-cam and accessibly cheap parts from the UK
Brilliant work you are doing on that Landrover,my Dad had a 1954 series 1,I have a soft spot for Landrovers specially the old ones👍
Thank you for the kind words! You should definitely consider getting another 😊

Holy crap, your work ethic, in depth knowledge, skill level, love of quality and thoroughness are awe inspiring.

Tinfoil is really good for masking parts quickly and is also a lot easier to unmask
Ah. I was painting some MGB shock absorber arms today...that would have been more sensible than the half mile of masking tape I used! Thx

did not expect to see such a fine video when I opened this site - good work and paying attention to detail is not a fault.
Not only am I impressed with your proficiency, but jealous at your project as well. Wish I had a place I could take on such a project!
Your preparation, knowledge, diligence and patience are a tribute to your generation. Keep going!
I hope my daughters grow up to still love landrovers when your age and do what you do with them
Once I heard the accent, I knew we were in good hands
Which accent is that? To my untutored (Australian) ear I'm guessing a bit north of Manchester. But what would I know!
I just found your channel this evening and think that what you are doing with your Land Rovers and the passion you have for them is absolutely brilliant!! :)

For all the prep and care that frame is getting , it will be rust free for a long time . Good job .👍
You're doing beautiful work. Love your clear narrative.
Attention to detail is outstanding 👍
Stumbled across your channel tonight, have watched both Land Rover series 3 , so nice to see someone who really loves doing the work. Keep it up!.
Even without the galv, yours is probably better protected than it would have been out of Solihull 🙂👍🏻
Top job. A true enthusiast and your skills are impressive. You will have a great Landy that will last for decades. Dean in Oxfordshire.
Great job! Very exciting to see your Series 3 being so beautifully restored. You have high standards. That Landy will be so cool when done. I love my ‘71 Series IIA. Being working on it and driving it over 12 years. Your 110 is also awesome!

The devilbiss FLG gun is a great starter gun to be using! i also agree that the more work you put in to protect the metal the longer you can enjoy the jeep down the line. Good work
I would think that filing off the sharp edges may expose the mild steel underneath.
Great project, I am someone that has failed on a series 3 restoration project but I think I would like to try again after watching this.
Brilliant cant wait to see the final result

listening to your comments while watching your work is very relaxing, this channel helps with my anxiety
You have the coolest car ever build ! Im so jealous but at the same time happy that you got one cool car !
Well done Sophie. Congrats.
Part of learning to weld is learning how to enjoy deep, lasting burns and that things that are very hot don’t necessarily look hot. Also, if you do ever need to modify that chassis, welding galvanised steel isn’t great for your health as a general rule so take care with that
quite inspirational and feeling nostalgic for the land rover, yorkshire and the lovely accent
Loving your project so far. you are going to be so chuffed with this landy when you are finished.... and rightly so.
Great job, Sophie!
Excellent as always, you’ve done your research.
Might be worth investing in a good quality gazebo type shelter now the weather is worsening.
Nothing looks better than a galvanised chassis for a Land Rover, that extra bit of protection and also making a proper job of it should see it last
Sure I've said this before in your comments but again your confident approach to the work is very inspiring! You just get stuck in. I predict your going to successful in life whatever you do.
Get a cheap Garden Gazebo to cover your work area, its what i did, and really helps in the great Northern British weather :)
Love how you do all this on your drive, front room and garden, well done.
I don't think I have ever commented on any youtube videos before. But, I just had to say how amazing these videos are!

Excellent videos and project. It's good to see a woman who is clearly doing something like this because she loves it, not using her looks as clickbait.
In terms of suggestions, I would be making more use of wire brush on an angle grinder and decoke brush on a drill for rust removal - much easier and quicker than by hand.

Jenolite will only convert surface rust on pits, leaving rust underneath. Thus will inevitably activate again and continue to rust.
Great work, my question is..........who are the trolls who have given 10 thumbs down.....shame on you

Wow! Well done.. Brilliant.. Very impressive attention to detail. And what luck to have perfect weather. Can't wait for the next installment!

Doing a splendid job there Sophie, looking forward to the next instalment.
Hello Sophie, i am new to your channel so i am looking forward to watching this series.
Good luck!
Someone prepping and painting a chassis has never looked so good 😊
Fantasic job too...it will last forever 👍
Love your attention to detail. I can't see a shop doing all this prep. Great job!
Well done on a job well done. I've yet to do a Mordant wash on my 90 galvanised chassis. Then I'll be using Buzzwelds GIO chassis black and WAR inside the chassis and all hidden cavities.
Thats good work Sophie. All that prep and fore care will pay back ten fold over the years. Good luck to you mate.
If you still have the scrap piece that was painted it would be very interesting to see how the paint holds up to damage/scratching/general wear
Enjoying the videos so far. Excited to see the project progressing.
Your amazing! Much love from America 🇺🇸
