The updates have been sparsely, but here are a quick one! The build has been taking a lot more time than planned due to a very weird situation with the paperwork for the car. And all this had to be sorted before I dared to use more money on it.
But after months of waiting and me not really doing much on the project, it finally got sorted. So I started up again after the summer and things are coming together nicely.
Missing a few key elements for the final assembly, but getting my hands on the engine is a huge milestone for me.
When this build started I had never done more than normal maintenance and replacements of parts. Like for like. But wanting to travel full time and be able to keep my self on the road anywhere in the world needs one thing. And thats knowledge about said car. And after investing hundreds of hours in this car, I'm confident enough to swap the gear box on the side of the road if I'm in a major pickle down the road.
However, some attention to detail in the final hours of the build will ensure a few good years without anything major (knock on wood) failing!
THANKS FOR WATCHING,
K
I may or may not have noticed my rear leaf plates being the wrong way around whilst editing this.
The parabolic leafs was too high for me to even think about connecting the bottom end before now, so I’ll excuse myself 😂
Exceptional restoration and attention to detail. I hope you have many years of enjoyment in the future with your stunning pride and joy. Congratulations to you sir.
Thank you very much! I’m going to thank myself for the struggle when I get back to traveling with this!
"well this car is not far off from being a rain gutter".....🤣
Love the work Kasper. Keep crushing it man.
I can't believe what a work you done. With all that rot all over the car including chassis you basically built a new car from scratch, and all the parts looks pristine now. This is some car porn level. I don't know how a one man with little to none experience with such a rebuild is able to do this kind of work in small garage by himself. Really like your videos. I was afraid you switched to shorts only, so I was excited when this 25 minutes clip dropped. Thank you for this content and wish you good luck. Want to see the car ready and loaded with gear at the end.
Dude thanks a lot for that. It’s been a slow and long process, but will definitely be worth it in the end!
I've been watching since your first series video. That kickstarted an obsession which has finally culminated in me buying a 1983 Series 3 Stage One that was fitted for radio, ex New Zealand army four weeks ago. About 10 years ago it had the 1PZ diesel engine, gearbox and axles swapped in from a 70 series Land Cruiser, as the original Rover V8 bent a few connecting rods.
Thank you for introducing a new passion to me. I just got back from a 3 day trip into Northland to pick up a full length LWB top for it and this was the first video on my list to watch.
Dude thats awesome! NZ looks amazing for traveling. And to be fair, a LC heart in this is probably the most bulletproof Series 3 possible 😂
24:55 Nice!!
Satisfying machine this thing 🤌
beautiful job mate. you’ve just breathe a new life into something what was at the end of the journey. Hopefully now we will have more of your journey ahead :)
At this rate, it is a thoroughly brand new car now. Even with dents and imperfections I can't believe you will put this rolling artwork restoration piece - and you're talking about the next 50 years for keeps - on an actual dirt road before the 50 years expire.
It's like taking your holiday china on random picnics jostled around in a shopping bag. Too nice and so special to be a daily.
Built to be used, back in 74’. So keeping the spirit alive and keeping it rolling for traveling. It’s like nice china, but can be fixed over and over. Never actually shattered 😎🤝
@@kasperhoglund There's good, as juxtaposed to good-enough for a rolling around adventurous rust bucket. You made it spectacular. That's entirely a different class of its own. It belongs into a Norwegian branch of the Petersen exposition.
Imagine spending all the time and money to build something like this, just to let it sit.
Been looking forward to this, thanks Kasper. Great job.
Thanks! Hard to keep filming everything when also working on the car. So will be a lot more updates when it’s back in the road!
@@kasperhoglund as is always the case, no problem. Can't wait to see this one finished!
All the best Kasper it is an entertaining piece of art work ,great work & inspiring
Thank you!
This has been an unbelievable series. I remeber showing my parents the first few videos so many months ago because I love old land rovers, and seeing the progress has been amazing!! Great stuff Kasper👍
That's awesome! Thanks 🙏🏽
Dear Kasper, thank you so so much for sharing your passion for Land Rovers with us. It really keeps me going with my own project. Unfortunately I am far too clumsy to do the things you are doing and have to rely on external and expensive help. But at least I know now what I want the result to look like. Please keep it up and take us along your journey🙏👏❤️
Thank you for the kind words! We’ll both be left with a nice landy no matter how the process was done! Very much looking forward to finishing this one🤝
Seriously good work Kasper. It's amazing to see this project reach it's final stages, I'm looking forward to see you travel in it soon, hopefully!
Thanks! Looking forward to getting back on the road soon!
Great Update. You have dived in completely to precision assembly. Its quite the immersing thing. I spent 20 years in the trade. been a HotRodder my whole life. Youdone good Kasper, measure, hold tolerences, prepare an assembly process. lay out the area, keep things Clean , clean. Colder temps yield Accurate measurements. Metals grow above about 90F. I had lots of assemblies that were in Tenths .0001 , it become a feel. you learn how the measurement Feels👍👍. Be blessed , it will be a dream to drive. 🙏🙏🙏🔧🛠️🔧🏁🏁🏁
Thanks mate! Luckily the british has made this eith VERY high tolerances for “in spec” 😂
After all, it drove perfectly fine here with plenty of play in every single part. But a new and fresh breath of air for this car was needed!
What a craftsmanship, thank you for taking us on this journey too! Looking forward seeing this in its comfort zone soon.
You and me both! Finally getting it back out to travel will be pure bliss!
oh man i swear this went from in literally pieces to done haha
Things sped up as soon as parts arrived and paperwork for the car got sorted 🫡😂
Fabulous... you have reignited my desire to own my second Landy 90
Short wheel base land rovers are such a vibe! I say, go for it!
Absolutely great job Kasper, well done! You can be very proud of yourself!
Looking forward to hit the road again! Hopefully seeing this Land Rover for atleast another 50 years on the road!
Definitely surviving another 50 after all this work!🤝
Beautiful work, you make look more like art than anything else. I can't wait for the first ride!
Thank you for that! First drive will be bliss!
ah, the never ending Land Rover list of "whilst I'm there, might aswell..."
I was going to change seals and drive off!😂 the entire project has been “whilst I’m there, let’s do this”
Kasper,
This is a similar approach to my rebuild. These videos are so awesome and so inspiring.
Great way to learn and get it all right at the same time! 🤝
I really enjoyed the full length of the video, even if I have nothing to do with cars. Beautiful.
Love to hear that! 🤝
Great video mate, been worth the wait
Thanks 🤝
Beautiful restoration Kasper, looking forward to the final episodes
Thanks! Can’t wait myself for that final bolt before driving off 😎🤝
I cant believe how this series, and your channel have been such a big part of my life over the past 2 years. The time has gone by so quickly! I went back to see the age of some of your videos and I couldn’t believe the sale of your previous LR was over a year ago. Its been a really fun ride so far, and I will be here until the end!!! ✊
Time has flown by! Not been actively working on this the whole time due to a lot of waiting for paperwork and parts. But will get there in the end!🤝
Tellement satisfaisant de te voir et t'écouter restaurer ce Land Rover.
Thanks!
Amazing. Can't wait to see you back on the road and the adventures you have.
Can't wait! First time driving off with this will be such a reward!
i have watched your videos from the day of the discovery you had and really enjoyed those videos, but the rebuild you have done on this landrover and filmed it is first class, congratulations and can't wait to see you having the enjoyment of driving it and adventures ahead !!!!
Thanks Graham! Can’t wait to go back to traveling, and not just building. But all the time spent on this will be worth it on that first trip. Lots of more films coming when I’m not doing the same thing every other day as of now!😅
Nice work Kasper, hope you can get to the land rover klubb meet in Rognan, 50year jubilee in your 51 year old Series
I should manage that! 🤝 and thank you!
@@kasperhoglund see you there hopefully.
I'm really interested to see what you do about the interior. I remember you having a full bed, cooking table, solar panels and stuff in your old discovery. But that was a bigger car than this one. That's what makes me wonder what your plans are for the interior. I'm sure you have plans or you'll figure it out. This is turning out to be a beautiful project.
Actually! The discovery was smaller inside because it was registered as a van with a fixed wall separating the front and the rear. Will have a convertible bed setup in this, for the obvious reason considering the length of the car.
But it will be and feel more spacious at the same time in other ways. Keeping it very simple and lightweight because it’s not as powerful and is trying to not bring unnecessary stuff in this build. Way too many people bring too much stuff for traveling just because they can 👍
These Long form are Great. Thanks
Thanks!🙏🏽
Youre back dude! Nice!
Epic!
Cheers man! Can’t wait to get out there. Like you know; having it parked up sucks😮💨
Congratulations man you worked damn hard and the result it really speaking by itself! Amazing job and proof that a determined mind can achieve a great result in a lot of different stuff! Just beautifull
Thanks man! Slow and steady has proven to be the right way for this build!
Thank you for this great series of videos on your journey with the Land Rover. May I ask if you made any gearing improvements/modifications to the gearbox/transfer-box..?
I have an original 1983 SIII 2¼ Petrol with only 29K miles and would like to explore the possibility of improving the high range gearing to give slightly taller ratio's....
Thanks! The gearbox had signs of being rebuilt at one point when it was in the UK. So internally it was in perfect shape. So I’ve replaced all bearings, springs and bushes. I also have an overdrive in this, so highway cruising is a bit better than just the plain LT76 box without any extra. Higher ratio is “constant”. But having the ability to throw in the overdrive gear is very satisfying. But, even more parts to look after ofc.
Awesome build update, when do you expect to be back on the road? What are your plans for making it livable inside?
Thanks! I “could’ve” rushed and gone now, but winter is right around the corner. And I need to rig out the inside a bit, fix solar, heating and other bits. So I’m aiming at departing early spring or late late winter.
Will have some pull out storage out the back, a foldable bed towards the front. But otherwise keep it very simple and lightweight for the sake of simplicity. And it having 70 horses and being 3,6m long 😂
Finally a video ❤❤❤
🤝
Looks awesome! Though, make sure the oil and water galleries are cleaned out. It's almost certain that some metal from machining got in there and it’d be a massive shame to grenade the engine due to a lack of cleaning. Unless the machine shop did that, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust them 100% (the tiniest fleck getting to any of the bearings could be catastrophic)
Bra jobbat Kasper! Inspirerande jobb
Takk! Siste del nå, så blir det endelig en bil igjen!
Wouw! Veldig fin jobb!
Takk for det!
Amazing job man !
Thanks a lot!
if only i worked as aesthetically as you lol. i was IN my discovery 2 engine bay getting that yummy oil in my eyes, crying etc.
but it runs now!
@kasperhoglund would you be willing to share some images of your whiteboard and check list? Maybe a video explaining how you stayed on track or pivoted when something got delayed? Would be appreciated and helpful!
Any chance you have a close up pic of your whiteboard list? Would love to see that....
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOO
🤝😎
This looks so good. Can I ask what you used for the respray. It's come out so well.
Acid washed the aluminum, epoxy primer and paint from a local shop by 3M in Atlantic Green 🤝
@@kasperhoglund did you have an air compressor and paint booth in the garage?
@@elgrimio spray gun, 412l/min Compressor, regulator and water filter. And just painted in a closed off section of the garage. Doing a few panels each time to prevent dust and extra paint landing on the painted parts. Because if I wanted to do all at the same time I would need a big air filter sucking air out of the room
Thanks again for taking us along!
Please sell me one piston! It would be a great talking peace here in Canada. Great job on this amazing series!
Pay the shipping and it’s yours mate!
😍🙌🏼
✨🤌
what's the story of your ceiling? the interior of your space seems like it has a story.
Det der blir bra bil👍👍👍
Takk for det! Blir I alle fall bra når man ser hvordan den var da jeg begynte!
Just buy nissan patrol and drive like everyone. Meaby summer in romania with your landi ?
If I wanted something else, I’d fix something else 👍 Romania looks really nice with the huge hillsides and dirt roads. Definitely want to go there!
@kasperhoglund I was in Romania once with Suzuki Vitara. There is real offroad there. This year I plan to go to Transylvania.
Привіт з України !!!
Best wishes your way 💛💙
