Excellent tips. Wish I had one of those giant pry bars you call a bump bar. Working off of bad repairs from prior owners on my own Series. Cheers from the U.S.
Wow. Super impressive work there with the old birmabright. Gives me inspiration and some helpful tips for my Series 1 that has some badly beaten up wings and roof. Thanks so much for sharing your work and experiences. Stay safe and good health to you. Ian
as a last resort yes- But there will me much more tidy up needed. I spend more time getting creative with bits of wood and cutlery. Patience is the key.
@@t.h.o.r. The puller I was referring to allows the user to glue attachments to the panel , Lock onto that and make efforts to straighten. Remove glued- on part post straightening. The question is, do you think this would be viable for aluminum. Thanks so much
@@warbirdflyer7276 Oh yes- they are wonderful!- I forgot about those- I m used to the drill hole or weld on stud type. The great thing about a a Landy is that you can access most spots without having to use one. I have a pair of 'glass carriers' suction cups with handles. They are good for repairs where you still have smooth paint surface and a big soft dent. Its amazing what you cand o with one of those and a heat gun on soft dents.
Some of the best panel beating advice I've ever seen on TH-cam and I look for panel beating videos

check my latest Land Rover vids. I bought a V8 County with a big smear down one side. 3 days work and no bog- I hardly even ruined the paint!
This is one of your best. You're getting pretty good, obviously been practicing lol Keep up the good work, you're keeping us sane.
Very nice Sir, you are lucky to be confined working o your Landy, can't wait to see the end result!
You and me both!
I've got a few more bent cars for you if you want. The changes were very subtle, but towards the end I started discerning the differences. Nice work!!
I like watching the rebuild of vehicles

Thanks Ian . in an upcoming vid Im going to show you the ;slapping stick' on alloy - so much gentler than a bruisy hammer
TinyHouse and Offgrid Resources. Ah great. Thank you. Will look forward to this. All the best. Ian
Enjoyed that. I shall keep an eye open for some suitable tools to address my Series 3 109” bodywork. Thanks for sharing. All the best Mat
Go for it!
Martin looks gd 2go those v8s lov wood gas fumes

Are all defenders made of aluminum ?
Yes. all defenders and series land rovers are except the bulkheads
Did you have to anneal the aluminum? I heard it work hardens in some of the landrover forums
Yes- that is what the water quench does after heating- It relaxes the built up stresses
is using a puller advised?
as a last resort yes- But there will me much more tidy up needed. I spend more time getting creative with bits of wood and cutlery. Patience is the key.

En efecto, no hace falta tener herramienta sofisticada.
Lo se porque lo he hecho yo, en los dos serie 3,que tengo.
Muchas de mis herramientas de panel están hechas a sí mismos- Sí sé lo que quieres decir
Where are you based? Can I pay you to have a go at straightening my passenger door
