  • The work you do on these Land Rovers appears to my eyes to be of a higher standard, a higher quality than any other Land Rover restorer known to me. Thanks for keeping the memory of these old Land Rovers still going strong! Someday, someday! Andy McKane, Manualoa, Molokai, Hawaii.

    Nice to see the old girl given a top quality restoration. More care taken than when it was made at Solihull all those years ago. Well done fellas.

    At 5:15 = You can still get new parts. There are dealers all over England that produces LR parts this day 😀👍
  • You can clearly see the enjoyment gained from working with these iconic land rovers,nice to see an plesent work environment, now I want a restored series 2
  • @ptonpc
    Good that you have given it another chance at life.
  • YOU SHOULD DRILL OUT OVERSIZE BEFORE THE GALVANIZE TREATMENT THEN YOU DONT REMOVE THE TREATED METAL WITH THE DRILL THIS HELPS TO SLOW DOWN THE RUSTING PROCESS
  • As everyone else has already said 'great job'! I've acquired a 57 series 1 I hope to have running before I die of old age. Fantastic little trucks.
  • Great engineering by resurrecting this vehicle from scratch my friend 👏 👌 👍.

    The best restoration work I ever watched. Land Rover and Jeep are my fevorite cars since childhood.
  • This vehicle was built approximately 60 miles from my home so heartening to see real craftsman bringing it back to life thanks guys

    I love these old trucks. There's a functional honesty about them when compared to the modern urban blob SUVs. Well done for keeping this one on the road/off-road.
  • Another classic saved! I’ve shared these videos with my kids to teach them about craftsmanship.Thanks!

    Fantastic build we've got a 2a hard top which my parents bought from new in 1970 here in Wales uk. Had a gav chassis and engine rebuild in 1991 but all original. Great attention to detail, a credit to all involved 👍😊

    Nice job! Your customer, you said, is in Montana. I sold Land Rovers in Missoula from 1966 to 1969 for Schubach Motors. When they sold the place and it became Missoula Imports, I then sold Land Rover for them from 1971 (after getting out of the Navy) to about 1 January 1974 when I moved to San Diego. That's one very nice looking restoration!
