Beautiful part of the world Steve, again enjoyed your production and now guitar tinkering very much. Shame about the weather aye. You made a Melbournian in the worlds longest lockdown very happy... and jealous. Wife and I are getting on the bike and coming up your way the moment we can. Cheers. Russ.
Thanks Russell, hopefully the lockdown will end sooner rather than later and you will be able to get out and about yourself :-) It is a great area for bike touring/camping, the odd slow Landy on the road you'll have to watch out for!
Spent my 20s/30s scuba diving up and down the coast getting to know all the locations in the video, and who hasn't had a great time in the Tathra pub. Diving the wharf used to be a great thing to do :-) Thanks for bringing the memories back to me.
Thanks Luke, I have snorkeled the wharf, some very large Kingfish where cruising through, quiet the sight. You would be surprised at how unchanged the coast has managed to remain, it certainly is a watery wonderland, worthy of a return visit perhaps :-)
Thanks for taking me on the trip! Had a great time. Hope to come visit some day.. see the whales , sit at the pub and listen to some live music! Is the water warm?
Giday Erich, the water is bloody freezing still, it does not start to warm up until almost Christmas but then stays warm till the end of Autumn. It will warm enough to improve the fishing in the next month or so but still a bit cold for swimming (without a wet suite).
What a beautiful film of a beautiful country, traversed by a beautiful vehicle! Thanks for taking us along, you're a lucky bugger! Was that Mad Max in the Police Interceptor coming after you?!
I am lucky indeed, so glad you enjoyed it, it was a really lovely couple of days. That police car definitely looked like the 'last of the v8 interceptors' - I may have used some editing tricks to speed it up for comic effect :-)
I'm only 4 min in and already require some counsel. The very chariot I'm attempting to restore comes with a hardtop cab like the magnificent wagon you are currently in command of. Would you recommend the setup you have or discard the hardtop for a full canvas back? I see advantages in having access to what's behind, eg camera equipment in the full hood but having never had the privilege's of captaining such a vehicle I have no idea of the best setup. Awaiting your advice. We've added you to our featured channels which is one of many tasks well overdue.
Ah Mr Foreman, still many minutes to be enjoyed but as to your inquiry.... Is not your fine skin removal project a short arsed model (86") ? If so you have an overabundance of options to be negotiated with Wilms. Mine is a 109" which only ever came with the Cab/ ute tub/tray configuration. This fine wheelage was a tray top when I got him, but I reverted to a tub so as to furbish it with Canvas and Rope finery for the very purposes it is now being put. I remain unconvinced that a full canvas top is available for the Series 1 - 109/107. If your swear jar filler is in fact a shorter wheel base you have several options; cab roof, full canvas, part canvas, bikini top, topless, garters and suspenders etc etc. The hard top (s) are a bit more noisy compared to rag tops. Cab is tight for storage and easy rear access would be good. Cricket takes up considerably less real estate than my pack of 3 Kelpies but some separation between cab and dog breath (and butts) is beneficial... Not sure any of that is of assistance to you or further complicates the matter, but free consul is worth every penny you pay for it. I thank you for the add to your Featured Channels and for alerting me to such a feature, I will hunt it down and return the favor in the hope that huge increase in Adsense micro profits affords you a new Woolly Bugger or two.
Vintage Restorations Australia indeed my wagon is a stumpy butt though an 88 inch variant, for those not well endowed every inch counts. Your follow up video was installing the lights on that very wagon so I released post comment it was a 107 or 109. Your informative response help me decide on what I was already thinking and that is discard the hardtop for canvas. I shouldn’t get too ahead of myself as a second wildfire is on the doorstep saying hello and a potentially explosive election around the corner. The old Landy might outlive me.
I am restoring a 1955 series 1 107". Can you show me where the actual horn is mounted, please? My horn (WT618) was in the passenger footwell when I bought my vehicle.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia That's the horn button. I meant the actual horn itself. I have been told it is usually fitted to the underside of the bonnet.
Andres, I refilled on the way home but think I got about 15kms to the litre. I just ordered a gps speedo and will do a proper check when it arrives and let you know. It seems pretty good, my concern is it's a little tank.
Giday Jonny, full crash box it would seem, I manage to grind them a little too often :-/ I have slowed down and take my time a bit more, it works OK, you have to drive mindfully.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Now I know if mine goes missing where to look also. :D Love my Moke, owned it 20 years. It's my usual camping trip vehicle. I even built a lightweight Squaredrop camper trailer to tow behind it a couple of years ago. Might use the Series 3 for some trips also when it's roadworthy again.

Thank you.
So welcome Brendan, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Thanks
Thanks Nerdy Things, I appreciate that. All the best to you and yours for 2023.
This video was just superb 👍, greetings from England
Thanks poacher, so glad we could take you along for the ride, it certainly is a beatiful part of the world.
Ah! The famous Bermie gelato! Fantastic vid (and definitely fantastic car!) by the way!
Yes, very very good gelato, worth the trip alone :-) Thanks Luca.
Reaping the rewards. Magnificent. Cheers
Thanks Phil, certainly an enjoyable outcome.
Hey Steve great Video thanks for all you content. Marc. Ballarat Victoria
Thanks Marc, I am glad you are enjoying the content, appreciate your support.
Brilliant! Absolutely love your channel and Land Rover vids! 1971 s2a 88, Hood River; Oregon
Thank you Sookum, that is a lovely part of the world to ramble around in a Land rover :-)

What Say we all chip in and buy Steve a new enamel plate to go with all that Haute cuisine?
Ha ha, rustic rib sticking camp food looks more authentic on the chipped ones :-)
Nice trip Thanks for taking us along
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Just found your channel and loving it and your old Landy. Keep um coming
Regards from UK.
Thanks Terrence, appreciate your feedback, hope you are doing ok over there. Cheers Steve

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia I really need to drive down when things look safer for me. 😁 Im considered highly vulnerable these days lol
@@LukePettit3dArtist Of course, gotta look after yourself.
That’s a beautiful place to live Steve.
It is indeed Mark, it beaty is never wasted on me, we are soo lucky to live here.
Social distancing doesn’t look too hard as well.
@@TheMarkmoffatYes, another benifit of living in a large shire with only 36K population.
Beaut video. NSW South Coast is my favourite area in Australia.
It sure is a seriously beautiful area but shhhhh keep it a secret :-) Its a lovely place to live and play, we are very lucky.
awesome vid thanx for the upload fella
You are welcome as always Hoodie, glad you enjoyed it :-)

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Yes, i really hope you stay safe over there, it's a bit of a shit show at the moment, what a year.
Even had the cops chasing you! ;) We'll have to go camping at the gold fields some time soon.
It's not a proper video without a car chase - last of the V8 interceptors !! Book it in Stu, I am keen to find some booty and buy us some bling.
the Copper at 3:56 certainly wasn't going to nab you speeding :)
Na, he actually came through ahead of me but I flipped it and speed it up for comic value :-)
I am restoring a 1955 series 1 107". Can you show me where the actual horn is mounted, please? My horn (WT618) was in the passenger footwell when I bought my vehicle.
in the steering wheel centre or on the steering column.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia That's the horn button. I meant the actual horn itself. I have been told it is usually fitted to the underside of the bonnet.
Hi Steve, did you get the range of the fuel, i mean, how many kilometers did the full tank last? ,,👍👍👍👍👍
Andres, I refilled on the way home but think I got about 15kms to the litre. I just ordered a gps speedo and will do a proper check when it arrives and let you know. It seems pretty good, my concern is it's a little tank.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia thanks !! Such a good number
@@andresberriel9322 I may need to check I think :-)
Great vid Steve, is the Landy a full crash box, or synchro 1 to 2?
Giday Jonny, full crash box it would seem, I manage to grind them a little too often :-/ I have slowed down and take my time a bit more, it works OK, you have to drive mindfully.
How’d the camping kit go? Datsun heading into rego this weekend. Toot toot.
Just great Sambo, we need to organize a camp trip with the Datsun and Landy together, The Slow Tour!!
Such a hard life, how do you cope?
Ha, thanks Andrew, yer the stress of the backed up traffic can get to me, need more time on the beach :-)
1:15 same fuel cap as my Mini Moke. :)
Mmmm good to know where I can pinch my spares from Brett :-) I saw a very nice restored Moke in Bermagui also, missed getting a picture of it sadly.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Now I know if mine goes missing where to look also. :D Love my Moke, owned it 20 years. It's my usual camping trip vehicle.

@@thebnicho Haaa your Moke is pretty safe :-) They are such a fun little car, I have only every driven one and it was many years ago.
