- A few pictures of the restoration of my Land Rover 90.
It was a long time coming but I got their in the end, plenty of galvanised parts and hopefully last a lifetime.
I am more suited to being in the garage rather than behind a computer trying to make a video, but I will try again soon to put some captions and/or music into the background. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Never underestimate an Englishman with a shed! Fantastic job, love it!!!!
You must have beamed with pride after that. What an amazing accomplishment.
first time time seeing this video first class rebuild thanks for sharing
Wow mate, you have to know the gubbins of a Lady inside and out to be able to do this. Brilliant job in such a confined space. Respect.
I'm not a car guy but wow isn't she a beauty. The craftsmanship is visible for all to see.
Wish i had skills to produce something like this.
You Sir, are an engineer and craftsman of the highest order Absolutely bloody brilliant work. Respect
You did a spectacular job!
Very nice rebuild and in a very confined space! I enjoyed the attention to detail you put into it. There are too many restoration videos on TH-cam that just paint over the problems and fix none of the issues. You restored my faith in TH-cam restoration videos! My OCD thanks you... 😉👍
You have done a fantastic job on this restoration. Amazing. It is so rare to see such a good restoration.
You realize to someone like me, your not normal. To me I wouldn't know where to start and this is a massive undertaking. I think you are incredible, beautiful job!
I’m very impressed. You really know what your doing. My hat off to you. And basically, all done out of a small container. Amazing.
One of the best and certainly the most comprehensive restorations I have seen, excellent job, well done !
motoafro thank you for your kind words. Defiantly the most comprehensive one I have done. The problem was just where to you stop 😔
What a fantastic restoration thanks for sharing, gives me the inspiration to finish our restoration of a v8 90
I’m sick in bed and watching this video made me feel better. You’re a master.
Fantastic build and a mega amount of time you must have put in 👍👍
What an amazing job. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Wow - Great set of photos - Brilliant result!
Nice job. No corners cut good to see.
Fantastic work pal. You should be very proud
Thank-you.
Hi, thanks for posting this. What an excellent job you have done. It looked awesome with the Wolf rims at the end. Makes me want to do it all over again. I have posted a full restoration of my 1977 series three if you are interested. Same Wolf eins on mine! Love it.
Really amazing Job. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job a lot of hard work there you did yourself proud, love the colour now enjoy it regards steve
Thank-you for taking the time to watch and comment chap. Was quite chuffed with the results myself :)
Amazing job! Totally impressed!
Thank-you for your kind words and taking the time to watch.
I absolutely love the choice of engine colour, besides looking good would making working on it easier than black,blue or the drab green.
must be all the talk at the landy club! Nice one. Very inspired!
Amazing effort and attention to the small details- galvanising all the small pieces of steel that people forget about. I’ll join the queue of people wanting their landy ‘done’ been trying to sort mine out for 3 years!
Thank-you for your kind words Darren, and thank-you for taking the time to watch.
I have built a few in the past, every one is a learning curve and you always learn something new, or find some way of improving the last one.
So the galvanising seemed to be the next stage for me, on previous projects, if I had painted something then in a few years the rust started bleeding through it would annoy me, at least this will stop that regardless of if the paint has been damaged/chipped etc.
I guess sometimes life takes over and you don't have time to work on the projects, that is the case for me at the moment and I haven't touched the current one for over a year.
Keep up with you project chap, I am sure you will get their in the end.
love your work! greetings from Belgium
great job...
Well done with with the rebuild she looks awesome!
Thanks bud.
really cool you did an amazing job chap, you should be proud of yourself.
I’m guessing this is a hobby that earns you a few shillings pocket money. If you paid a Company to do a rebuild like this it would cost thousands. Well done meticulous detailing, superb finish and I’m guessing extremely rewarding when you look back at the before and after. Especially when you have limited room.
Superb job very well done.
Thank-you.
Very well done !!!👍🏻
Thanks :)
Amazing well done 👍
Thank-you
Incredible rebuild, I'm rebuilding a series iia at the moment.. but I'm in high school with a budget haha nice work
Haha, I was on a budget too, but sometimes things get out of hand, you start thinking I've gone this far so why not do this, or that, and oh I'll just do this..
It seems a never ending cycle, but in my mind I would rather do it once than be going over stuff I wished I had done the first time around :)
Congratulations my friend!Great work ! ! I from Brazil . I have a Fantastic car Defender 90
Vendi Minha Tv Thank you kind sir 🙏
I still come back to this video from time to time.
Thank you so much, it still astounds me how many people have taken the time to watch this.
Really an amazing job done with a lot of whim! Thomas, you're a complete mechanic! Congratulations!!
Thank-you for you kind comments and taking the time to watch.
magnifique restauration
cedric chabrier thank you 🙏
amazing
Great video bud
Amazing mate
Thank you 🙏
Nice job bro. .nice job
Thank you, I was pretty pleased with the outcome myself.
That looks a lot of time and a lot of money but whole lot of fun great job
matthew bennett thank you for taking the time to watch. Most definitely a lot of both time and money. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
incredible build, not only the work gone in to it but the fact it was all done in that small drive hah, where are you based maybe you could give my 90 a lick! (WAVE)
Thank-you for your kind words, the small drive is somewhat of a challenge, but it just means more thought has to be put into it, i.e what to do next without things being in the way.
Things took longer than they should have, but space was a massive issue, their was always the fear of damaging something what with having nowhere to store freshly painted panels etc..
On the plus size I have since built myself a bigger garage and gained a longer drive should I want to do another one.
Oh, and I'm in Doncaster.
Really amazing video, great reference tool for others too!
Out of curiosity, if you were commissioned to do this for someone what would you charge if they supplied the vehicle?
Beautiful, you can borrow my series 3 for a year or two if you like. Amazing job
Hey watched this right up to the end , the music was watching all those bits become shiny.. fab landy .J. Scotland
Thank you for your kind words, I was quite chuffed with the results myself.
Any tips on painting a new galvanized bulkhead?
Unreal
Nice job with attention to detail, though I thought you should have added sound insulation before fitting the trim.
Lovely job; should last a very long time.
How long did the restoration job take?
Thank-you for taking the time to watch chap, the restoration took around a year working on it evenings and weekends.
For a moment you got me thinking you're gonna rebuild on the old chassis, but you made the right choise to replace that with an all-galvanised new chassis, fortunately. I'm curious how long it took you to do this? I calculated 750h for my Series3 and I did not even take the axels apart, had already bought army-restored engine and gearbox and let the painting be done by a pro. So your project, which I highly respect doing all that in that narrow lane and garage, must have taken twice that time?
Congrats for being able to go all the way, I know how hard it is to keep going...
Great video thanks for sharing but would you do it again? 👍
If you don't mind me asking how much did you sell the finished vehicle for? I'm in the final stages of rebuilding a 1985 ninety. However due to circumstance I may need to sell 😭 pretty much built up to the same spec as this.
how do you galvanize the whole chassis?
Would you mind explaining how you separated the bonnet frame from the bonnet skin? I am trying, but without great success... Thank you!
The bonnet skin is riveted to the frame.
Their is a few at the back of the bonnet on the top and more running all around the inside edge.
If these are drilled out the frame with a little bit of persuasion will come out.
They are bonded to each other, but not very well, so if it is a little stiff to come out try shoving a scrapper of some form between the skin and frame to free it up.
Hope that helps chap.
Thank you!
Amazing. Please let me know if its ever for sale.
Very nice work. Looking for that paint! What colour is it? Alantic green, Light pastel green, Heritage green?
that looks so nice!
Thank you, the colour is one I chose from a colour chart, but very very close to light pastel green.
Looks brilliant, and a lots of skill involved no doubt.
Did you get most of the parts galvanised, or did you have to get them galvanised after you bought them? Did you find a supplier to give decent discounts, or were bits bought from different places?
Hi, all of the galvanised parts are the originals that where removed, they where shot blasted or cleaned up with a wire wheel in the grinder and then sent for galvanising as a job lot.
Worksop galvanising did that, and it is cheaper than you would think. Well worth getting done on a project if you have the time / facility's to so.
great job and a lot of hard work. how much do you reckon it cost in parts etc. I have a series 2 to do
Thank you, from memory the overall cost was £12-13,000 including the price of the original vehicle.
How many hours in Total made?
Very nice job - but get those wheels painted in Limestone to match the roof, etc.!?
Thank-you for taking the time to watch and comment chap. I agree that they need doing, just one of them things I haven't gotten around to do yet.
Jonathan Dosser I. Kkiiiii
Bet it still leaks oil ;) Very nicely done, I like how you've restored it back into original Land Rover Green, like the heritage models. I have a F reg 90 that is in need of a new chassis. Been putting it off as its such a big job. Never know what you'll find when you start something like this.
Adam Shellard thank you 🙏 The problem you have is, once you start to strip and rebuild one you never know what you are going to find.
A vehicle can look all fine and dandy on the outside but their are always hidden things you don’t expect.
That said, I would recommend anyone to rebuild their Land Rover. It is a great experience and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
💝👍🛠👏🤗
She looks well pal I’m just setting about restoring a 1998. What undercoat and paint did you use for the axels and has it lasted as I’m unsure what to use for the best... hope you have a disc lock on her be a shame for some thug to joy ride it. Well done fantastic job 👌🏻
Thank you for your kind words chap, the paint used was corroless S for a primer and rustoleum combi colour as the topcoat. It has lasted very well, and have used the same combination on previous projects.
Thank you for that. I’m wanting to paint the chassis to keep the rover looking as standard as possible. Have you any recommendations as to what to use?
Have a look at the corroless products range as I find them good. I purchase mine from arc_rite. Both satin/Matt finish or gloss is available depending on what you want.
