    Excellent tips. Wish I had one of those giant pry bars you call a bump bar. Working off of bad repairs from prior owners on my own Series. Cheers from the U.S.

      check my latest Land Rover vids. I bought a V8 County with a big smear down one side. 3 days work and no bog- I hardly even ruined the paint!

    Some of the best panel beating advice I've ever seen on UA-cam and I look for panel beating videos

    I've got a few more bent cars for you if you want. The changes were very subtle, but towards the end I started discerning the differences. Nice work!!

    Wow. Super impressive work there with the old birmabright. Gives me inspiration and some helpful tips for my Series 1 that has some badly beaten up wings and roof. Thanks so much for sharing your work and experiences. Stay safe and good health to you. Ian

    Did you have to anneal the aluminum? I heard it work hardens in some of the landrover forums

      Yes- that is what the water quench does after heating- It relaxes the built up stresses

      as a last resort yes- But there will me much more tidy up needed. I spend more time getting creative with bits of wood and cutlery. Patience is the key.

      @@t.h.o.r. The puller I was referring to allows the user to glue attachments to the panel , Lock onto that and make efforts to straighten. Remove glued- on part post straightening. The question is, do you think this would be viable for aluminum. Thanks so much

      @@warbirdflyer7276 Oh yes- they are wonderful!- I forgot about those- I m used to the drill hole or weld on stud type. The great thing about a a Landy is that you can access most spots without having to use one. I have a pair of 'glass carriers' suction cups with handles. They are good for repairs where you still have smooth paint surface and a big soft dent. Its amazing what you cand o with one of those and a heat gun on soft dents.
