Building a Defender in 10 minutes *farm abandoned*

During first lockdown I got this 30 year old rotten Landrover Defender. I decided to try and repair it on my driveway. Mostly using guides from youtube. Ok bye.

I do miss the project, but off to a new home and on to more restorations. Nice work overall mate, and look forward to the next project!!

@@davevon71 ive bought a Jimny haha. Won’t be a massive project but something to keep me occupied. Looking for a house just now where I can have more room for projects. Doing in my driveway is not ideal😅

Great work mate! well done on the restore. What coil springs are those red ones?

Plus 2 inch bilstein ones cheers 🥂

Hello good sir. Really nice restoration, definitely has a look. Im going to attempt to paint my 90 this summer. Was that a sand blaster you used, if so what were the specs? Thanks.

[@Oilatumify]

I only used sandblaster once for the door. To be honest my compressors isn’t strong enough for it. It’s just a basic sandblaster tank from clarks. Plus it’s messy for doing in a driveway. If you have the space I recommend getting a high power compressor first to power it.

Thanks 😊

Great video mate 👍 how much did you buy for originally and how much did you sell it for? Thinking about doing the same be good to have a guideline 👍

[@Oilatumify]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate it. The truck cost £3400. I spent roughly same again on bits. Sold it for 14k I think. Profits to be made for sure

[@magicnik8881]

Looks great!
What radiator grill did you install?

[@Oilatumify]

Custom one mate installed it

[@weedaviec]

Fantastic job 🎉was looking for a final red Jimny video- did you do one?

[@Oilatumify]

Cheers!! It would have just been me crying trying to figure out why it was cutting out every few miles. Finally found the issue with a sensor. Off to a new owner now !

Amazing work m8
I have found the same landy in poor condition but sadly i dont have the skills to do all this
Apparently the frame is also rusted through

[@Oilatumify]

You would surprise yourself I think. Just takes time.

@@Oilatumify did you have experience doing a paint job?

[@dimitriskirlidis2620]

Kindly advice regarding total costs because i found one around 10k euro and i planning to buy for restoration

[@Oilatumify]

Really depends on what your expectations are. Wether it’s a restore to get back running or a full rebuild. And depends how much you can do without paying a garage.

[@rustandoil]

Nice job👍🏻... Did you consider keeping it?

[@Oilatumify]

I wanted too 😞 thanks 🙏

I don't understand...what this video for😅

[@Oilatumify]

Cos I can

[@erhardt1477]

Sorry …
I was interested in this kind of video but, hectic cam movement, combined with closeups gave me a headache…
Either
This is on purpose, then it’s terrible 😛
Or it’s because someone does not know how to operate a cam, then it’s terrible 😛
Maybe next time …

[@Oilatumify]

I accept your apology.
