Steve, could we get an update on when to expect the final video? Last upload was 4 weeks ago and I was following this weekly until then. Hope all is well!
What a series this has been so far Steve amazing, been watching all the old videos of you Ben and sp travelling round Canada wish I had some friends into camera and film making! Makes my UA-cam videos so much harder to do
don't think I've ever been so jealous of a project! the only thing that could have made it the 1000% dream would be a 3 door! nice classics is going to be a massive hit congrats Steve
All looking good, excepts for one issue. Your dampers are rubbish. They’ll do until the pistons rust through their painfully thin chrome and wreck the seals to the main body, causing leaks. So, the end of next winter... In all seriousness, you’ll only get a few years from them before they rust and leak, but at least Pro Comp are cheap. I can heartily recommend DeCarbon dampers on RRC - mine had them when I bought it, and fifteen years later they’re still in perfect working order. But replace the steering damper (the one running horizontally from front diff to steering track rod) with a genuine Armstrong or Woodhead damper - you shouldn’t use gas dampers on the steering as their internal pressure exerts a force on the steering system and you have to continually correct against it. It’s not a huge force, but it’s an unnecessary fault. As for the D pillars, I’m a bit of a purist on Range Rovers, but this still looks good. You are going to fit the raised lettering on the bonnet and lower tailgate, I hope - it looks empty without them. As for the lights, what are you planning? There are some subtle but effective LED headlamps that would be ideal, but a lot of ugly types that would spoil the refined classic look.
Very good, they even mount an exhaust and a fake engine, I guess thats for originality and so they can hide the new electric power train and make it nearly invisible. Excellent job.
This is looking 😎 I wasn't sure about those rear pillars but the original RR had colour coded pillars so you get a pass.😅 Is that sump guard being sprayed crackle black?
You forgot to install the heat reflection plate above the center muffler part number NTC7196G. Make sure because without it, it can burn the insulation underneath the carpet.
In a RR book they said that the early cars were body colour but because they were having trouble getting the 1/4 panels perfectly smooth they decided to cover them in black vinyl and do the other pillers in black which created the floating roof look.
That Range Rover is a piece of art... so nice... I think I would try to put a set of Rostyle RRC steel rims with a nice set of BF Goodrich tyres... That'd be great IMO... Mine, '94 Soft Dash Tdi, has also bumpers old style without plastic end caps with the mud flaps... That Discovery is interesting, I saw like "rare" the only sunroof in the front instead two sunroofs, here where i live there is only or no sunroof versions or double sunroof versions... And looks like its one of the lasts Discovery 200 series, m/y '93, maybe it has the reinforced half shafts, 24 splines instead 10... Anyway, excited to see the Rangie moving by itself, and the next project!!
Looks great Steve, love the painted rear pillar & the custom bumpers. Could you tell me where you got the waist seals for the doors / windows, I can’t find new replacement waist seals for a 4 door RRC anywhere on planet earth? (2 door yes, but not 4 door) Cheers
Great stuff, Steve. I've gotten my 1995 RRC redone but can't find the rear lamp guards ANYWHERE except ebay and I'm leery of buying anything else from that site. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Mate your Range Rover restoration is my favorite series on UA-cam right now - great work
Literally about to start the series now! Need to catch up!🙏👌
Stevo, we have been waiting for the final reveal... We are totally invested in the build, update??
I love how the two mechanics are getting so into the filming and stuff as well now! These guys are having just as much fun and Steve doing this build!
Steve
Have you made episode 9 or has something happened or am I just being impatient?
Steve, could we get an update on when to expect the final video? Last upload was 4 weeks ago and I was following this weekly until then. Hope all is well!
Where is the final, completed Range Rover episode! I’m in suspense!😳 awesome content!
Come on Steve, don't go all irregular on us again mate 😂😂😂
Great job. I liked the end pipe. It’s the right size and the rear quarter panels look great. Well done boys.
What a series this has been so far Steve amazing, been watching all the old videos of you Ben and sp travelling round Canada wish I had some friends into camera and film making! Makes my UA-cam videos so much harder to do
"Not trying to reveal the car I'm in, but some of you may have already guessed it." Goes ahead and shows the Disco on 4:20
And at 12:00 full D1 reveal. Can’t wait, as I have one.
Great to see the resto journey is going to be continuing! Can’t wait to see what you do with the Defender 👌🏼
don't think I've ever been so jealous of a project! the only thing that could have made it the 1000% dream would be a 3 door! nice classics is going to be a massive hit congrats Steve
More incredible progress, your going to have a unique car for sure.
3:07 - Early model Discovery Series 1.
That is one clean Rangie!
Eyyyyyy man like steve looking trim boyyy! Haven't checked in with you in time. Hope you're well my guy. Gunna binge the car series now! Yes steve🙏👌

Turnage! I love that. Just had a 15° hose clamp of my own to deal with.
These videos are excellent well done what a transformation
Brilliant .
I put you on having that colour interior right off the bat. Classy 👌
I think the white 1/4 panel looks great!
The white D pillars are a nod back to the original early 70’s RR , I think they look great, never really liked the covers myself!
Looking good. I remember being driven around in one of these when I was a kid! Amazing cars
I'm here from the recent STG video. The Range looks very nice, look forward to future videos.
Loving the series mate. Wanted to hear that beauty start up so bad! We'll hear it soon hopefully! Keep it up bro!
Still great, Steve. Thank you. Disco next time then a Defender and you’ve got the full set!
Beautiful Steve. Enjoying this very much. Grande!
"Trying not to give away what car it is" like any car fan can't tell a Discovery 1 from the interior!
Very good, they even mount an exhaust and a fake engine, I guess thats for originality and so they can hide the new electric power train and make it nearly invisible. Excellent job.
This is awesome I just picked one up myself I love it!
Bloody loved this series, Steve!
1:38 someone has bought a 200 TDI Discovery 1!
Great video as always, saw STG's video do spoilers have been revealed, excited for future videos and projects. Great job
I like the color matched real pillars
I've enjoyed watching this series so much! Amazing stuff dude
WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!!! ahhh!! Great series mate :)
Easy guess disco...you should look for a 3 door gen1, they are getting rare
Amazing job Steve
This is looking 😎 I wasn't sure about those rear pillars but the original RR had colour coded pillars so you get a pass.😅 Is that sump guard being sprayed crackle black?
Think about converting fuseable links to a better fuse box system would be great in the long run and easier maintenance.
another week another video!! we love to seee it bro!! All love from Ottawa, Canada
Love the new video mate and awesome tracks too 🙏👍
You forgot to install the heat reflection plate above the center muffler part number NTC7196G. Make sure because without it, it can burn the insulation underneath the carpet.
Also didn't realise you had the 3.9, I assumed you had got a diesel one, Brave choice, hope you don't have engine problems, they sadly are unreliable.
So sick! Loving it mate
Can't be teasing us like that at the end 😏
The idea of the black rear pillar is to create a "floating roof" which is one of the main design cues of the original Range Rover.
he knows.
It wasn’t a feature of the early suffixes - they had body colour on all the pillars, not just the D pillar.
In a RR book they said that the early cars were body colour but because they were having trouble getting the 1/4 panels perfectly smooth they decided to cover them in black vinyl and do the other pillers in black which created the floating roof look.
saw you on STG today - best of luck with the new plans

7:15 Controversial unvinyled panel hahaha
Fascinating to see it all come together Steve - thanks for sharing! May I ask what the intro/ outro music is?
Looks great Steve, love the painted rear pillar & the custom bumpers. Could you tell me where you got the waist seals for the doors / windows, I can’t find new replacement waist seals for a 4 door RRC anywhere on planet earth? (2 door yes, but not 4 door) Cheers
You are in a Discovery ;)
Great stuff, Steve. I've gotten my 1995 RRC redone but can't find the rear lamp guards ANYWHERE except ebay and I'm leery of buying anything else from that site.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Will you put new wheels on it? I imagine some classic BBS wheels could look great. Never been a fan of the stock wheels.
Yo mate, the cliffhanger on the end with engine start it was not cool :-P
Oh this looks good Steve, well done
Really enjoying this series.
What’s the color code for that white?
Didn’t the early RRs have colored D pillars? So it’s a tribute/retro car now?
Y’all don’t have power ratchets?
Great video. It would interesting to know how much this cost? What did you buy the car for on eBay?
12:55 is that the new project in the background?
