Love a good visitation!

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

It was a fun weekend Stu, got lots of bonus content :-)

[@michaeliandolo2252]

It was good to see these past two videos. I am looking forward to your new updates. I hope that you will have the time to continue. Your channel is one of the best.

Hi Steve, I liked to reference to ‘hockey tape’. Hope all is well down under and thanks for sharing, Ian

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Giday Ian, I have been meaning to write to thank you for the manufacturer plate, it finally showed up and now has pride of place on my desk, I love it so thanks my friend. It will forever be called Hockey tape thanks to you :-) Things are good down here, starting to head into the cool season, it's been a lovely wet summer, a big relief atfter the previous summer of horrific fires. How is the S1 resto going?? Hope Canada is treating you well Ian and you are starting to thaw. Cheers Steve

[@gonesailing]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia. Good day Steve, oh that’s great the plate made it too you safely, and that it is a treasured item. Glad to hear all is well and that you are enjoying the sunshine. Here Spring arrived nicely but was kicked into touch by winter, with stormy snow and wind back for the coming week. Hopefully I can soon be out working in the garage again. The next thing is helping change some oil seals and chassis bushes on the old land rover. All the best to you and I hope Canada soon has the virus in check. Stay safe and well, thanks Ian

[@agkleppel6235]

nice film.. are there any "australia" specifications original made by landrover, or are all landys down under similar to british ones? greetings from germany... metric system LHD

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

They flat packed them and assembled them here, they were specifically made that way but they are pretty much the same Ag.

Mistaken ran an car oil filter on my shovelhead bike , if it had got blocked the oil pump would't have had the pressure to bypass the filter. . there was little reason for the filter to get blocked though . . I have an HD external oil filter now to be fitted , I used the car oil filter in place of the normal small oil cooling radiator but the the oil still got too hot & thinned out . . making the hydraulic lifters not work & valve train noise at times , will run a big oil cooler now as recommended . . pulled the motor apart for that stupid reason up north when trying to keep up with Evo's to a trip to the Bark Hut pub & everything started rattling . . there was nothing wrong with it just got too hot & lifters stopped working

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Great yarn Ben :-)

[@sonofedmund5004]

Great contrast between the Aussie Accent and the chap who males Hugh Grant sound like a cockney Barrow boy!

[@conrad1468]

Great BS session under the hood. Lots of good information!

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Bit dangerous standing next to a busy highway?

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

We live for danger :-)

Steve: "We might be selling this old girl"......Me: "OK Google, what's the cost of shipping a vehicle from Australia to the UK?"

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

Would look good on you Stu!!

[@slowshop]

Selling your 107"????
Interesting to see under the bonny of the 80"

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

109" Martin, its only 2 inches but it makes a diffrence :-) Yes think I am going to sell it, fund a few other projects .

[@slowshop]

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia those two inches can make all the difference in the world...
I bet that the shipping to sweden is more than alot. But we soon got a medium wheelbase series 1 pickup.

[@VintageRestorationsAustralia]

@@slowshop an 80 plus plus

[@nigelsmith4732]
