Edd + Paul = Everything I actually loved about the car restoration shows I have ever watched. There is so much charm to these recent episodes and I didn't realize how much I needed it.
Presented in a very clear, informative and entertaining manner, without the irritating heavy metal noise that usually accompanies American car restoration shows. Definitely one of the two best shows on U-tube. The other you ask. Well, ItchyBoots of course.
I'm loving seeing Paul doing bits on his own and talking like he's being Ed. I've always wondered if back in the Wheeler Dealers day if Paul was ever meant or wanted to be seen on TV or did he prefer just doing the off camera work?
Just to say that I think Edd and Paul are a very good double act. They are both funny, very knowledgeable and extremely frank with each other and the audience. It makes a refreshing change not to be patronised. Thanks for the entertainment.
Spent the morning working on my car which was a great way to spend a Saturday morning - but it would have been so much better if I'd had a mate like Paul to work with.
While Ed seems to be enjoying his new project, it reminds me of Carl the car guy and his 72 Ford, But being Paul I have to agree with Paul in that there is no sense in this. Striping down a rusty old range rover and rebuilding is just boring.
Chemical dip, repair rusted metal then have it galvanized dipped to protect the inside as well as the outside. Painting afterwards is optional. I have done this to several early Bronco frames and it works great.
Agreed on the chem dip, and galv. No other way to do the insides of the tubes. Personally I'd paint it afterwards, but just so it doesn't get that white zinc powder on it in a few years.
@@paoloviti6156 blasting the chassis will only get rid of rust on the outside of the frame rails and possibly not even all the nooks and crannies even there. Chemical dipping gets to everywhere, inside and outside AND it takes care of just the rust but not the good metal so it’s better in that sense as well.
FYI quick message at 9:35 is: “Very good Edd it is funny how these bits of sage-like advice filter down through the ages but we heard recently that if you have a cluster of bolts to undo to remove a part; always start with the one that is most awkward to get to and that way the last bolt holding the part in place will be the easiest to get to and that will make the whole job easier in the Long run! You see, we can be just as funny!!” Quick message at 19:56 is: “Well thank goodness someone finally brought this up.

9:35 Very good Edd. It is funny how these bits of sage-like advice filter down through the ages but we heard recently that if you a cluster of bolts to undo to remove a part; aways start with the one that is most awkward to get to and that way the last bolt holding the part in place will be the easiest to get to and that will make the whole job easier in the long run! You see we can be just as funny!!
Thanks guys for the top tips. I've been trying to catch these at full speed and using the pause...it's been doing my tree in and never worth it when I finally manage!
I think apart form the odd "Yes, No and OK", Paul was asked to keep chat to a minimum, so as not to break the dynamic and to keep the focus on Edd and MB. Although Paul did most of the behind-the-scenes stuff (including all the pre purchase inspections of the cars before MB went near them), to all intents and purposes he was "Edds mate who helped out from time to time".
Dry ice blasting looks like a real easy way to remove rust and debris, while minimizing abrasion of the material underneath. On the other hand, dipping would get into most nooks and crannies. Wonderful stuff. Keep up the good work.
I had dry ice blasting done on the frame of my american 40 foot Rv, it gets rid of nasty stuff like loose undercoating , but if you have heavy rust you still need sandblasting, needle gun or grinders. Dry ice is perfect to clean before you respray and find out whats dirt and loose paint and coating, without damaging. You afterwards see the rust perfectly and can go on. And: If a frame is fully stripped ( mine wasnt, the Rv was till on top, the engine was still in, etc. ) you can go for sand in the first place. Dry ice comes not for free! BTW: We needed 300 kg of dry ice and 150 manhours to clean the frame, remove rust, fix one or two small issues, put some penetrative stuff on it to seal the rust in the depth of the surface (forgot the name) and then paint it new with Brantho Corux, which is a paint they use for ships as well.
There's a company called Narran in the Czech Republic thar does wonders with variable wattage lasers. The cleaning and de rusting capabilities are unbelievable.
Been watching Mick Blackley SandBlaster here on TH-cam, and he's the fastest I've seen, customers set it all up, he gets there with the van full of equipment and gets it done fast and cheap.
Dipping is the ideal solution, followed by galvanisation. I enquired about getting my defender chassis done, but couldn’t find anywhere that would be willing to dip it as they said you can never get the inside of the chassis free from crap
I really enjoy how Edd explained the in depth engineering principles as to how the rear end operates while disassembling it, this kind of content is a rare find indeed.
So if "refitting is the reverse of removal" as Haynes manuals say, you should be able to reassemble the Range Rover with one blow of the magic hammer too, right? Seriously, this show's getting better with every episode. Great presenting, lighting, shooting, sound, editing, music choice - I'm sure it's very hard work to make but the result is quality TV. Keep up the good work!
1:38 Sentimental value at the time of working on a vehicle/project: that is the key which unites lots of us in motor world: doing things for passion. I own an old vespa that sometimes leaks mixture oil or needs a carburetor cleaning whenever it is clogged: fixing it takes its time. Probably a newer scooter would be more reliable and fast, but I love making that 30 years old thing moving with my own resources :)
I love the sort-of competitive engineering in removing 2 prop shafts - and then the "top tips" element... I'm surprised Edd didn't mess with the playback speeds and clip order to make him the clear winner!! I would have!
I must say that old school wrenching and not using powertools is refreshing to watch since most videos (what I watch) there is powertools on EVERYTHING! Could even go as far to say that the videos are soothing to watch.
The tip from Paul to remove harder to reach bolts and nuts FIRST works for me. I feel so much better then removing the easier to reach ones as all my frustration has been exhausted. Good job guys, looking forward to seeing more of the transformation of this auto from a pawper to a king....
Last year I purchased a Milwaukee 3/8 inch 18V impact wrench and it is a game changer. I dropped the suspension subframes (front and rear) on my Mini Cooper R53 and the Milwaukee impact made quick work of bolts installed in the factory 15 years earlier. I told my wife if I had that tool 20 years ago I could have been a “real” mechanic. The impact was $200 US and worth every penny in my mind. Keep up the good work fellas - enjoying the Rover series.
Was great before, but absolutely love that Paul now involved. Genuine event viewing for me, watching on a Friday night, with a couple of drinks, before rugby kicks off. Best car show on telly. All power to both your elbows
Completely agree. Also, did you read Ed's book? I was lazy and bought the book on audible and it really was fantastic, such an interesting man and it made me laugh as well as cry at one point.
Edd !!!!!!!!!!!! oh god i cant believe it !!! i have been physically disabled stuck at home for 27 years...oh Edd you gave me joy for years on wheelers dealers...you cant imagine how long i cry when u left the show... BUT now your here, i found you, its one of the best moments in my life. Thank you so much buddy, god bless you AND Paul !!!!! ( sry if i dont write english very well, am a french froggy, hihiiiii ) 🤭😃
I love those little Milwaukee stubby impact wrench’s I have one and it’s perfect for working on cars, not many times when you really need to get the big beefy ones out.
Also, are you going to measure the residual thickness of the steel to ensure that it is sufficient for the job? That surface rust can add up and significantly weaken the structure.
Three words for that chassis de-rust. Dry Ice Blasting. It would also give a chance for a small mini segment explaining the advantages/disadvantages of the process. Whatever you go with though, I know it will turn out a treat.
It would be great to see you guys respray the Range Rover in a Raptor bed liner type paint, as I've heard it is something that is much more DIY friendly.
When taking something apart, putting nuts and bolts back together saves them being lost and IF they are put back in the hole, it SAVES a lot head scratching figuring out where things go!!!!! Now that the chassis is this stage, either acid dip it or sand blast it KILL ANY RUST, hopefully might STOP any future Rust. ACID DIP would be BEST!!!! Trying to avoid FUTURE RUST!!!!!
I'm thinking acid dip or sandblasting would be too harsh on that fragile chassis. Soda or I indeed laser blasting (?) Way more gentle. I've heard of metal warping during sandblasting and wonder it that would distort the chassis somewhat..?🤔
@@stuartd9741 Acip dip shouldn't be a problem. I watched a series on TH-cam of a bloke restoring a Mk3 Cortina that had been sat in a field since 1982, which was acip dipped and came out fine. A Range Rover's chassis should be thicker and stronger than a rotten 70s Ford.
What I enjoy particularly about this new channel is how Paul has been given a voice. Imagine how different WD might have been had this sort of interaction between Edd and Paul, who are friends in real life, had been integrated in the show.
19:54 Well thank goodness someone finally brought this up. We get to work in a insulated box and its still always far too cold or far too hot in this place, Almost never just right; surely someone out there wants to help us by becoming our insulation Partner? Infact first person to do so gets a drink!
For something that looked so bad it is coming apart quite nicely, I've had better cared for vehicles that needed oxy, grinder, air hammer and various other torture devices to get them apart.
This pairing has a lot more about it than a previous one, good natured banter is always good for the soul as is not taking yourself too seriously, I think this is going to be a good journey. Having good mechanical knowledge and experience helps as well.
Thanks for another entertaining and instructive video. May I also congratulate you on your choice of the background music - such a welcome change from the ghastly cacophony that accompaanies so many other TH-cam videos!
At least there were two split pins! Although if one gets rusty, chances are the other will too, and if a heavy impact shears off one, all of that force is going to hit the second one. Yeah, probably not the best way to do it.
This is everything wheeler dealers should have been! Lying in bed suffering from covid and this is the first time I’ve smiled in days! Thanks Edd and Paul!
if it really had any sentimental value to the owner, why did he let it get into that condition? its a dog. a rustbucket. frankly, he doesn't deserve to have all this work done
That is a question for another day. Many possibilities. Health, kids, work, There's many a project that gets abandoned midway due to time /money constraints, that end up on eBay....
You could have used the Land Rover specific prop shaft removal tool, much easier and it’s 9/16 instead of the 14mm you were using. Really enjoying this but I’m with Paul, it really ain’t worth it…..
It wouldn't be worth it in the real world, but this is TH-cam content, which makes it both viable and valuable. The monetisation of the videos means the Range Rover will basically pay for itself to be rebuilt.
I really like seeing Edd and Paul working together. Good Fun. Lots of Knowledge. Do yourself a favor and have the chassis acid dipped. That way you get in all the crevice's and it will also clean the inside of the boxed frame. May cost more, but it will do the best job. Much Love from the USA....Stay Safe Everyone. 🙏
Edd, I remembered your first WD helper was a Stoke-on-Trent guy like me, I think he passed . RIP. Top Tip as you say, Never try any mechanical restoration alone, you need one or two mates with equal average skills to help you ! I worked on my Capri and a Pontiac Firebird with my next door neighbor outside on a concrete slab, no garage . Impossible job alone. Wheeler Dealers (SHHH) still currently give the idea that one person can do a major mechanical job, at least this series you admit "Its so much easier with two people ' The truth is its impossible with one ! Have a MATE !
Old school restoration. Reminds of my ancient 1951 jeep, which chassis I had stripped of everything. Satisfying work, though, very hard to deal with old, dirty, rusty, sometimes improperly modified parts.... Congratulations for valuing almost forgotten roots mechanical practice.
I really love the conversation between two really good friends, two male adults who have shared many projects and work where there was nothing but the will to do it
Edd I’m so glad for your TH-cam success. When you left Wheeler Dealers I sent Motor Trend an email saying Mike was not enough and the show was all about Edd. I never watched the show again. Now they are on their second new mechanic after your departure. You can make loosening a bold loosening a bolt seem interesting.
welcome dear Paul !!!!! you really are a character very loved by everyone who watched WD. It's nice to see you again .... and hear you talk too !!!! 😂😂 greetings from Córdoba Argentina.
Can I just take a moment to applaud the close-up cinematography and editing on this show! It's top notch. Nearly every operation is clear, well-lit, and all seamlessly edited together with minimal, tasteful music. It must take ages to set up. And the set lighting, gobos, etc. really enhance the look. Very impressive. As someone who's done a fair bit of filming and editing myself, I really appreciate the high level of workmanship of the production, in addition, of course, to the obviously fine mechanical workmanship of Edd and Paul!
I love that you start this by saying what I keep thinking- there's no sense in this - except for the sentiment AND that it could be any car. Now I know why I'm watching. Nice work, gents 👏
Brilliant combination of friendly banter and hours spent working on a hopeless case. I used to do that sort of stuff years ago (really miss it) and more into 70s motorbikes these days, but i'd love to get involved in some way, even if it's only making the tea!
You guys make a great team, nothing forced,, natural and obviously totally at ease with one another. Your double entendres about tool sizes and nuts also make me smile! Keep up the excellent work!
Some notes. Firstly regarding the split pins for the dampers. Only one is necessary. The idea is that when new bushes are fitted, you can't get the pin in the inner hole as they need to be compressed. You put a pin in the outer hole - could be the old one or a spare new one, and then use a tool (usually a stout screwdriver or two) to wedge between split pin and washer and compress the bush enough for a second split pin to be inserted in the inner hole. The outer split pin is now surplus as the damper is held tightly by the inner one, and can be removed. Secondly the "shock" in the centre is a self levelling unit. It works by using the up and down suspension movement to pump itself up and is very effective when it works. If the suspension is sitting below normal ride height an internal valve is closed, and the pumping action causes the unit to fill until the correct ride height is reached and the valve starts to open again. If it was working then the pumping up and down on the video would have caused some resistance and the back end to lift even without the springs. Thirdly, Range Rovers were fitted with a return fuel line to help keep the fuel cool if you decided to drive across the Sahara. The fuel pump would always run at full flow, and what the engine did not use was returned to the tank, so there was always a circulating cool fuel supply no matter how hot it got under the bonnet, preventing issues with vapour forming in the fuel lines under extreme conditions.
Seeing that GT6 next to a 60's Continental was a flashback. I had a 1970 GT6+ and a 1965 Continental. Living in Ontario, Canada, where road salt is liberally spread, they rusted away from the ground up. They were both terrific cars, though. Thanks for jogging my memory.
Hi Edd & Paul, i think that the best way to get rid of that rust is an acid dip, it gets to the rust where all the other rust removal fail to do. Love your show and keep up the good work!
To all my Landrovers I strip the chassis down as much as possible, do all the repairs if any are required then spend days underneath with a wire cup on a grinder or a small sandblaster. I try and get as much as possible back to metal taking off previous paint. I then spray it down in vinegar to give it a light coat of rust and paint it in Corroless rust inhibitor primer. This sticks to rust best and converts it. I then topcoat it with the glass reinforced topcoat they recommend with it. It takes just less then 2.5l of each to paint a 110 chassis. I’ve always used it and they say it lasts 15 years.
Edd and Paul are a dream team on this restoration, I really appreciate the detail in the work involved. Salute! 👍

Soda or I indeed laser blasting (?) Way more gentle.
I've heard of metal warping during sandblasting and wonder it that would distort the chassis somewhat..?🤔
@@stuartd9741 - They have wet sandblasting now that doesn't generate heat. That's the way I would go.
@@stuartd9741 Acip dip shouldn't be a problem. I watched a series on TH-cam of a bloke restoring a Mk3 Cortina that had been sat in a field since 1982, which was acip dipped and came out fine. A Range Rover's chassis should be thicker and stronger than a rotten 70s Ford.
@@stuartd9741 If the steel is that fragile, it needs to be replaced.
What I enjoy particularly about this new channel is how Paul has been given a voice. Imagine how different WD might have been had this sort of interaction between Edd and Paul, who are friends in real life, had been integrated in the show.
19:54 Well thank goodness someone finally brought this up. We get to work in a insulated box and its still always far too cold or far too hot in this place, Almost never just right; surely someone out there wants to help us by becoming our insulation Partner? Infact first person to do so gets a drink!
I thought it finished with "... a warm hug."
Great seeing Edd And Paul back together, fantastic videos
For something that looked so bad it is coming apart quite nicely, I've had better cared for vehicles that needed oxy, grinder, air hammer and various other torture devices to get them apart.
Holy Milwaukee adverts batman!
Great stuff. Just wondering, shouldn’t you have staked/marked the prop flanges so they go back in the same orientation and remain balanced?
Balanced? It’s a rover, never been balanced
@@stoveguy2133 ha ha ha, what was I thinking!
This pairing has a lot more about it than a previous one, good natured banter is always good for the soul as is not taking yourself too seriously, I think this is going to be a good journey.
Having good mechanical knowledge and experience helps as well.
Dip it, otherwise you're just removing external rust.
Yes EXACTLY!!!!
Best automotive procedural show EVER.
Отличная программа. РОССИЯ С ВАМИ. И Полу огромный привет.
Thanks for another entertaining and instructive video. May I also congratulate you on your choice of the background music - such a welcome change from the ghastly cacophony that accompaanies so many other TH-cam videos!
Make a great team you two guys, a great watch as ever.
Shock absorbers retained by split pins.....wonder why that never caught on?🤔
Yes. Was rather shocked to see that.
And on a critical component..
At least there were two split pins!
Although if one gets rusty, chances are the other will too, and if a heavy impact shears off one, all of that force is going to hit the second one. Yeah, probably not the best way to do it.
This is everything wheeler dealers should have been! Lying in bed suffering from covid and this is the first time I’ve smiled in days! Thanks Edd and Paul!
Get well soon mate.
How do you all organise the bits you remove so you know how to put them all back together in the right order?
A lot of freezer bags and punnets.
Someone else asked the same question last episode.
Lots of labeled baggies!
@@freetolook3727 Indeed I did :-)
I love seeing Paul actually do something besides lift heavy objects.
So do I! He is quite good at making tea too!
if it really had any sentimental value to the owner, why did he let it get into that condition? its a dog. a rustbucket. frankly, he doesn't deserve to have all this work done
That is a question for another day.
Many possibilities.
Health, kids, work,
There's many a project that gets abandoned midway due to time /money constraints, that end up on eBay....
really enjoying this stuff more soon please
You could have used the Land Rover specific prop shaft removal tool, much easier and it’s 9/16 instead of the 14mm you were using. Really enjoying this but I’m with Paul, it really ain’t worth it…..
It wouldn't be worth it in the real world, but this is TH-cam content, which makes it both viable and valuable. The monetisation of the videos means the Range Rover will basically pay for itself to be rebuilt.
I agree with Dunebasher.
In TH-cam land this project is viable.
Still if John is happy to write the cheques ....🤔
I really like seeing Edd and Paul working together. Good Fun. Lots of Knowledge. Do yourself a favor and have the chassis acid dipped. That way you get in all the crevice's and it will also clean the inside of the boxed frame. May cost more, but it will do the best job. Much Love from the USA....Stay Safe Everyone. 🙏
Be honest Ed, after you’ve stripped something down you end up with that one fixing that has no home. 😂
Ah, look at all these extra bolts I have left over...
Edd, I remembered your first WD helper was a Stoke-on-Trent guy like me, I think he passed . RIP.
Top Tip as you say, Never try any mechanical restoration alone, you need one or two mates with equal average skills to help you !
I worked on my Capri and a Pontiac Firebird with my next door neighbor outside on a concrete slab, no garage . Impossible job alone.
Wheeler Dealers (SHHH) still currently give the idea that one person can do a major mechanical job, at least this series you admit "Its so much easier with two people '
The truth is its impossible with one ! Have a MATE !
Lasers, lasers, lasers, quick, cheap, environmentally friendly and sooooo amazing to watch 🤗
Although only watch with the correct safety goggles on!
@@eddchina Absolutely! With the size of that chassis, you could create a whole ASMR channel on just that 🤣
PLEASE do laser rust removal. That would be so awesome to see. We're all absolutely loving this build by the way.
It’s a joy to watch Ed and Paul working together. Why can’t stuff like this be on TV?
Old school restoration. Reminds of my ancient 1951 jeep, which chassis I had stripped of everything. Satisfying work, though, very hard to deal with old, dirty, rusty, sometimes improperly modified parts....
Congratulations for valuing almost forgotten roots mechanical practice.
Love the jazz as you're cutting off the last body mount!
I really love the conversation between two really good friends, two male adults who have shared many projects and work where there was nothing but the will to do it
I find myself hanging out for your latest installment and you never fail to entertain and educate - thanks
LOVE the new intro. Sand blast the frame then spray a thick black undercoat.
Edd I’m so glad for your TH-cam success. When you left Wheeler Dealers I sent Motor Trend an email saying Mike was not enough and the show was all about Edd. I never watched the show again. Now they are on their second new mechanic after your departure. You can make loosening a bold loosening a bolt seem interesting.
Ed, you and Paul work so well together - two mates who CARE!!! and having fun doing it!
Why does my heart always sink when Ed says "and that's a job for another day"....
Yes to lasers!! The videos of people blitzing rust with those laser guns are sooo satisfying!
welcome dear Paul !!!!! you really are a character very loved by everyone who watched WD. It's nice to see you again .... and hear you talk too !!!! 😂😂 greetings from Córdoba Argentina.
Can I just take a moment to applaud the close-up cinematography and editing on this show! It's top notch. Nearly every operation is clear, well-lit, and all seamlessly edited together with minimal, tasteful music. It must take ages to set up. And the set lighting, gobos, etc. really enhance the look. Very impressive. As someone who's done a fair bit of filming and editing myself, I really appreciate the high level of workmanship of the production, in addition, of course, to the obviously fine mechanical workmanship of Edd and Paul!
Paul being an active part of the show it's a big improvement. Nice guy.
I love that you start this by saying what I keep thinking- there's no sense in this - except for the sentiment AND that it could be any car. Now I know why I'm watching. Nice work, gents 👏
Brilliant combination of friendly banter and hours spent working on a hopeless case. I used to do that sort of stuff years ago (really miss it) and more into 70s motorbikes these days, but i'd love to get involved in some way, even if it's only making the tea!
You guys make a great team, nothing forced,, natural and obviously totally at ease with one another. Your double entendres about tool sizes and nuts also make me smile! Keep up the excellent work!
So nice to see you smiling Edd!
Watching of two gentleman show. Keep up doing. We are enjoying.
Never realised Paul spoke and great to see these two working together again 👍
Some notes. Firstly regarding the split pins for the dampers. Only one is necessary. The idea is that when new bushes are fitted, you can't get the pin in the inner hole as they need to be compressed. You put a pin in the outer hole - could be the old one or a spare new one, and then use a tool (usually a stout screwdriver or two) to wedge between split pin and washer and compress the bush enough for a second split pin to be inserted in the inner hole. The outer split pin is now surplus as the damper is held tightly by the inner one, and can be removed.
Secondly the "shock" in the centre is a self levelling unit. It works by using the up and down suspension movement to pump itself up and is very effective when it works. If the suspension is sitting below normal ride height an internal valve is closed, and the pumping action causes the unit to fill until the correct ride height is reached and the valve starts to open again. If it was working then the pumping up and down on the video would have caused some resistance and the back end to lift even without the springs.
Thirdly, Range Rovers were fitted with a return fuel line to help keep the fuel cool if you decided to drive across the Sahara. The fuel pump would always run at full flow, and what the engine did not use was returned to the tank, so there was always a circulating cool fuel supply no matter how hot it got under the bonnet, preventing issues with vapour forming in the fuel lines under extreme conditions.
Seeing that GT6 next to a 60's Continental was a flashback. I had a 1970 GT6+ and a 1965 Continental. Living in Ontario, Canada, where road salt is liberally spread, they rusted away from the ground up. They were both terrific cars, though. Thanks for jogging my memory.
Hi Edd & Paul, i think that the best way to get rid of that rust is an acid dip, it gets to the rust where all the other rust removal fail to do. Love your show and keep up the good work!
Can't wait to see the individual bits get cleaned up and put back into a shiney old car. I love this type of content.
fantastic show edd and paul great pair together
To all my Landrovers I strip the chassis down as much as possible, do all the repairs if any are required then spend days underneath with a wire cup on a grinder or a small sandblaster. I try and get as much as possible back to metal taking off previous paint. I then spray it down in vinegar to give it a light coat of rust and paint it in Corroless rust inhibitor primer. This sticks to rust best and converts it. I then topcoat it with the glass reinforced topcoat they recommend with it. It takes just less then 2.5l of each to paint a 110 chassis. I’ve always used it and they say it lasts 15 years.
Ed China the best thing to come
From wheeler dealers by far 🙏
