    As a retired aircraft mechanic, who has also worked on several Ferraris , a jet land speed car, an 1892 Rodgers steam locomotive, and restored my own Jaguar, I must say your mechanical ability, enthusiasm and persistence are awesome.
    Aston Martin will be the beneficiary for having you on their team.
    Beware the first 75 percent of any restoration project is the easiest. After that interest starts to fade. Many restorations are sold or abandoned at 85 to 90 percent complete.
    Stay the course and try to avoid distractions . Your channel is awesome! I am loving this project! Well done.👍This old guy is learning much.
    Be safe and stay well!

    Your work is amazing. I have watched a few of your videos, your knowledge is incredible on the Land Rovers you've worked on. I cant wait to see your series 3, when finished it will look amazing. I have just rebuilt my 1964 series 2a and absolutely love it with a canvas top. You are an inspiration to people every were.

    I am really impressed by her. Do a massive job like this under those conditions would stop most people. So every time she promotes what she got and from who I smile a little extra. Cause she really deserves every piece of help she gets.

    Glad to see another video Sophie!!! And I have to admit your 110 is my favorite build, watching from the beginning. I totally forgot you did get a new chassis it all coming back to me now, the prep, and painting in the drive! Loved watching you tear it down, There arent many young woman like you doing this type of work, and learning along the way. You should be very proud of your accomplishments!!!

    Great Job. Watching your videos everything seems easy but you don't really appreciate the enormous work you are doing. Every screw is a challenge, every time you take out a piece it's a surprise (rusty, undone).... And I know why I'm restoring, (disassembling and changing chassis to begin with) a long III Series that lived very close to the sea (very rusty). Thank you for your videos and for the patience and work of making and sharing them.

    Did my series 3 '1 Ton' 30 years ago still have her on the drive today. my biggest regret was I didn't get a new chassis for it at the time. since then I've done 6 other series 1, 2, 2A and 3's. Good luck with your build, at the very least it will save you a fortune on gym membership 😁

    Cool update, my dad and I had a very similar series 3 project which we got to about the same point with but never removed the engine and unfortunately never finished. This really makes me want to have another go and actually finish a project. I think a ground up restoration is a really good way to go about it and if you can have it ready by next summer that would be awesome! Keep up the great work.

Impressed doesn't cover it, I can't wait to see your new chassis. And bulkhead. Your so, so very wise to fit a new one. And your planing an engine strip down, as well. like, OMG! Superb. I can't heap enough praise on you. But wish I could add more. Shane. :-) (p.s. Been there, done similar with a 1959 Rover P4 105.)

    Hi Sophie - thanks for the video - I remember taking the seat base out of my LWB SERIES IIA - it was a bit of a trial since I had very little room at the sides of the vehicle - it was in a fairly narrow drive way with walls each side! Getting the gear box out was difficult since, unlike your operation the roof of the vehicle meant restricted manouvreability. Great joy when the recon box arrived - great sadness when I came to fit it and found that the wrong g/box had been sent - ah well, that's what Land Rover people get used to! Best wishes and a happy new year. Looking forward to seeing how the Disco resto is going.

    Would highly recommend Lanoguard for rust proofing. Used it on my discovery 2 rebuild instead of the waxoyl I used on my defender. Doesn't crack up over time like waxoyl and really easy to apply and touch up, no need to scrape off just clean and re-apply, the grease is great too for the areas that need a but of a stronger rustproofing

  • @thejamesieboy
    @thejamesieboy 3 роки тому +2

    My advice is use stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers. Might not be original, but if like me you plan to keep your Series 3 for a while it will be worth it. If you need to strip something in the future will be much easier, originality is nice but some times you need to upgrade and future proof.

    • @gshort4707
      @gshort4707 3 роки тому +2

      Good idea to use stainless for connecting non structural pieces such as rad panel. Undoing stainless nuts and bolts with power tools can cause them to bind due to galling. The way to get around that is to use stainless bolts with zinc plated nuts. Also, don't put your nuts and bolts back dry, but use some form of anti seize grease.

    • @thejamesieboy

    • @gshort4707
      @gshort4707 3 роки тому +1

      @@thejamesieboy Like you I am no longer a fan of copper slip. I found it seems to increase corrosion when steel bolts are screwed to hold/into aluminium. I got a pot of ceramic grease for £10 about 4 years ago and found it very good. Very high temperature (higher than copper grease) so can also be used on brakes, exhaust clamps etc. Not tried aluminium anti seize but I know Mike has used it for years. I get what you say about not using power tools but lots of people read our comments so some might. Good to share our experiences and hats off to Sophie to give us a platform to do that.

    in WA state most people use chains, but some religiously go to Les Schwab for their seasonal winter spike tires, which then have to come off by a specific date to not damage road surface. When they skipped salt, life came to a standstill. Oregon used a volcanic gravel which was awesome on the mountain passes, but can be snowed over and become ineffective. Oregon had a mandate against salt, and it was like backwoods ukraine, a place before time, a real hell to get anywhere. Moscow adds a caustic chemical to their salt, I think I'd opt for that rather than accidents or being stuck. I almost got into that hobby with a diesel rabbit but sold it to a diesel tech and never looked back, too many other time wasting pursuits here in USA.

    I don't have any real interest in these sorts of rusty old LRs. However the uncompromising work ethic and detailed workmanship demonstrated by *Land Rover Sophie* is second to none and I find her videos quite addictive and inspirational. I'm looking forward to the (probably very strong) possibility at some point in the not too distant future of seeing her working on something like an old Aston Martin or Rolls Royce. I reckon even *Ian Tyrrell* watches her vids and is quite impressed!

      Thank you for watching and for your suggestion but they don’t have the same mechanical properties as the fixings that were intended. They’re okay in some non-structural areas but some require the tensile / fatigue / thermal resistance etc as what was specified by the manufacturer ☺️
