No head gasket and red Hermetite?
Believe it or not the clearance thickness of the gasket is important to maintain the size of the combustion chamber.
@@Rossco7422 Sorry - I see a head gasket now. Didn't see it at first.
Nice work, do you have a host for the engine when it is rebuilt ?
Once its done it will come up for sale. Sorry for the late reply, Just getting over a hefty storm, had no power for the last 3 days.
Guess you found it hard to do any meaningful work with no power tools.
The little guy is me 😊😊😊
Happy new Year to you too. That is a nice old engine.
She's a beauty alright.
Excellent !
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Ross.. Hope you & yours are having a great Christmas Day.
Thanks man, you too!
Hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
You too!
Зачем столько проблем и мучений, эта передняя панель щит в сборе можно сегодня купить целиком в нескольких исполнениях. Есть просто голый металл, есть покрытый грунтом, есть оцинкованный, и даже есть нержавеющая сталь. Для чего всё это? Купить новую запчасть и поменять, во первых быстрее да и качество выше в разы, чем собирать эту панель из кусочков. Да и сначала нужно полностью восстановить геометрию кузова, т.е. купить и установить новую раму, только так вы получите 100% результат. Why so many problems and torments, this shield front panel assembly can be purchased today in its entirety in several versions. There is just bare metal, there is covered with soil, there is galvanized, and there is even stainless steel. What is all this for? To buy a new spare part and change it, firstly, it is faster and the quality is much higher than assembling this panel from pieces. And first you need to completely restore the geometry of the body, i.e. buy and install a new frame, the only way you will get a 100% result.
Cost!
A lot of progress Ross. Those split-ring wheels are great. I used to do a lot of 'truck' split-rings, but we inflated them within a strongly made steel cage just in case the ring let go under inflation. The air tanks look very neat and tidy.
Thanks man, slow and steady wins the race. This style of split rim aren't too bad, if in doubt I would push them under the vehicle and inflate them there.
Great work Ross.. That's steering, brake and drive hub looks very heavy and unforgiving.
Most of the stuff I work on is unforgiving! lol
Happiest of Christmas to you all ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
And to you and yours!
That Q2 is ultra rare. I only know of one other that is not in a Museum. Some parts shouldnʻt be too hard to find as Rootes used a lot of car parts in their trucks, etc. Motors similar to Humber Hawk / Snipe, etc...As a Commer fan (spelt incorrectly in the video!) I wish you a lot of luck. Someone had a manual for a Q2 on one of the Commer Rebuild Facebook pages lately.
Yes it's very rare. Never noticed the spelling mistake, not going to change it low, lol. This is the 8 foot wheelbase Commer. I think the manual floating about is for the 10 foot wheel base.
You certainly like a challenge !
Yes, some times people find it hard to look past the rust and see it's potential.
Fantastic level of workmanship I see there. Glad I stumbled on your channel. Do you do this restoration full time or is it a side business?
Thanks man, Technically, I do it full time but I do have other responsibilities. Only started the channel this year and I find it absorbs the work hours quite quickly.
Got a new radiator and handbook for a Q2 possibly a starter and a nos clutch plate
I have a Handbook and a clutch plate. I won't know about the starter until I start pulling it apart. But feel free to email me a list of parts and we might do business in the future. Thanks. rosscombatcars@gmail.com
Your work looks spot on show room stuff even, that Commer will be interesting.
Thanks man!!
Looking forward to seeing the Q2 progress...
Me too, It'll be a nice little lorry when it's done.
Wouldnt thst be fuxed with shimming the shaft so the bearing aits properly within the case? Kinda odd why the whole bearing is flopping around like that and doesn't look like it's been correctly seated.
Why is it thst the only gauge that NEVER works properly on old cars is the fuel gauge??😅😅😅😅😅
There a poor design that are very susceptible to corrosion.
Great piece of fabrication Ross.. Not an easy job if you only have photos to go on.
Thanks man 👍👍
Great stuff Ross.. Reviving an historic vehicle always throws up the question of 'how' much of the original do you replace. Looks like you have a good balance there.
You have to cut out all the rot, if that works out cheaper than replacing the bulkhead, then your onto a winner. I bereave the Series 3 was when Land Rover peaked with there build quality. After that there were less galvanised parts and poorer painting technique used. Military Land rovers can be an exception. Even though they have a hard life, there well maintained and are thoroughly washed down after every exercise. No mud build up to hold in moisture like what you might find on a farm wagon.
Excellent work Ross.. Making sure the chassis No was left intact was a thoughtful and sympathetic piece of resto.
Thanks man, Have been on the other end of this before. Trying to prove the year/age of a vehicle when replacing a log book.
Great work Ross... Excellent welding and attention to detail.
Thanks man!!
Nice work so far
Thanks man. getting there bit by bit. Next up will be the door repairs.
It's starting to take shape 👍🤛
It is, slowly but surely!
😱😱
Looking good 👍👍
Thanks man :)
Don't suppose you would have accurate measurements for the Piglet? My boyfriend wants to 3d print a scale model and needs exact sizes.. 😅😅
It's just a standard series 3 109. It's fitted with a protection kit. What measurements did you need
He essentially needs a blueprint of it, which doesn't seem to exist anywhere online. Could you even point me in the direction of where to look or who to ask?
Good job! 🙂👍
Thank you :)
Good job. 🙂👍
Thanks man :)
10KF50/51 & 96KC26 were the 3 I worked with. 12 years service and driving them
Nice, Do you have any pictures?
Neat and strong. 👏
Thanks man :)
An air file would serve you well for cleaning up after welding. Looks good though
Thats a good idea, going to pop one in my ebay basket right now. Thanks
I’ve got an absolutely dirt cheap one, £20?? Buy loads and loads of belts, they tend to shred before they’re worn out
Good to know, thanks.
Great work 👌🏻 I’m just doing the same job…exactly my thoughts with the foot well, why do they put a return on it when it should straight!
I Know, I assume your talking about the folded lip on the replacement part. It wasn't a big deal to straighten it out, but still it's a bit puzzling why it was folded over in the first place.
Hi Ross, just subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent welding and finishing.
Thank you very much!
lots of the parts of that vehicle have been on the back of a lorry i drove for davant coatings in tividale, we painted the wings vision blocks, roof cages and tool boxes 5:37
Was it a special type of paint? IR paint maybe?
Cool saxson 😊
Thanks man :)
👍👍👍💪💪💪💖💖💖
Your the best dad
Love you dad ❤❤❤
Nothing a bit of Harry black and WD 40 can’t fix 😮
lol
Nice 😀
Thank you! Cheers!
Some project 😲
Part one is called "The introduction" not part one.
Where's part 1???
It's called "the introduction" not part one.
How old is this beauty!?
Not exactly sure, late 70s early 80s.
Donate it to Ukraine.
Glad you are saving it.
Thanks man,, will certainly try.
I drove the command version of the saxon, it was a bit of Marmite vehicle to be honest. Let down by driver vision and one fitted with Radios, computers ect is was massively overweight. We actually had a DAF 4 tonner as a support vehicle.
I'm doing a video on the "Marmite" topic at the moment. if you got out of a Snatch into a Saxon it was the best in the world but if you just spent 3 years in Warrior then it was pretty crap.
