'Replacing the big dents with hundreds of little ones', win!
This Ladies and Chaps, is what a REAL Restoration looks like.
Thanks Maximus for the Journey.
Of course we look forward to take us through the M.O.T and a Trip around the Countryside.
Technically, being a 1978 model it’s tax and MOT exempt. Although after such an in-depth restoration it wouldn’t hurt to put it through one just to check you haven’t missed anything. Fantastic job so far though.
Trashed Land Rover to stunning beauty. Off the frame restoration utilitarian style, after all a real Land Rover was sought for it's ruggedness. Well done Max, I'm enjoying all your videos.
Its brilliant to see Kermit taking shape. I can say from experience its hard enough doing the work on a refurb like this without filming it too, thanks for sharing. The comment about replacing one big dent with hundreds of small ones cracked me up.
I can hear the excitement in your voice. Well done Max.
Very impressive! I like the way you've not tried to make it look concourse, just as Land Rover should be! Can't wait for the next episode. Thanks.
That looks stunning Max, what a transformation. Just putting the wings on made such a difference.
Well done Max - this is going to be some mean machine! Love the way you improvise your way through the build - the old Landie should survive for a long time once it's complete. Thanks for the video, entertaining and informative.
SOOOO satisfying to watch progress. Excellent work Maestro. Thank you for sharing your labours and expertise.
Amazing build, you’ve done yourself proud!
Your laugh at 39.00 said it all Max 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a bloody good job you have done on your land-rover, that looks great.
Proper restoration this, better than replace culture you normally see all the time.
Cup of tea well deserved. Thank you.
The front end really looks great. Those chaps at Grenadier should take note.
You have come so far with this project. Hours of dedication and attention to detail. It looks awesome. What an inspiration to go save more landys!
That is amazing I love it. You don't make it look easy either you make it look exactly as hard as it is and we can see the massive amount of time and effort you put in bravo sir, bravo.
Congratulations on the great progress - and great results!
Looking brilliant Max I’m looking forward to hearing the engine running 👌
Looks great - what a wonderful job Max.
She looks mint Max . And with that sound deadening your ears wont bleed when you go over 35 mph .
Impressive and inspirational as always!
Looking good, can't wait to see it galloping around the fields
Kermit is looking great
Very pleasing to watch.
I have to say that I wasn’t keen on the color at first. But now, it looks amazing. So jelly.
Kermit is looking mighty fine..
Watched it on Patreon. Watching it here again to get your view numbers up 😊
There is nothing better than getting home from work, putting my feet up and watching you tinker. I bet that workshop smells amazing!
Looking like an absolute beast Max. Great colour choice!
Great idea with the bonnet insulation. It will help considerably with the harmonic vibration noise you get at certain revs. But you know this , lol :)
Landy looks good, legend.
Looking good Max 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great look! Before the windscreen, it reminds me of the SAS 'Pink Panther' style.
Soundproofing! Whatever next. Looking really good
Custom made masterpiece, tbh. 🔥
What a little beauty!
love the colour, it will be nice driving something you know every nut and bolt is 100%
You must get an immense satisfaction from making those old battered panels useable again.
That's a brilliant motor! Mate, you got a bird magnet there!
She is looking really nice i’ll be looking forward to the test drive later
Kermit is coming along nicely, it’s been great to watch the progress.
Excellent. Thank you, Max.
It looks great Max! Looking like a Landie at last!
Great progress, inspected by your Hens too. Thanks for posting.
Looking great Max, thanks for sharing.
Looks fantastic Max, you are making a great job of it. Less of the Kermit and more of the Colmans now.
Great job Max first class workmanship well done.looks great. am looking forward to the next episode.
Slowly but surely getting there Max. Looking forward to see it mobile again.
There's nothing better than spraying in the rain!
To quote Mr Burns: ‘excellent’
Going to be a real nice old Landy when your done, no longer a crusty old rotter, it'll out live you and I!
The one thing I like most is that you're not applying gobs of filler to hide the hammering on the panels, a lot of people go to so much effort to make things look smooth and perfect that it extends a project by years, cos at the end of the day, it's a work horse, not a show horse... :P
You’ve always impressed me Max, but today you raised the bar sir.
Brilliant project reflecting your vision and dogged perseverance.
Inspiring, entertaining and educational.
Thanks for sharing.
Looking great, Max.
GOOD VID THANKS LEE
I used that sound deadening material on a van when converting it into a campervan. Really made a huge difference. It stopped sounding like an old builders van and made a much nicer driving experience. I found you only really need it in the middle of a large panel. No need to go edge to edge.
Once you have finished Kermit I would love to see it driving down one of the UK's green lanes 👍
Looking good 👍 enjoy your well deserved tea 🍵
Brilliant. The end is in sight!
Truly inspiring 🙌🏻
I was half thinking you were going to paint that bonnet black 👌 looking good
who knew beige could be so butch love it
Excellent. Stay safe out there.
I hope you're really proud of this project. It looks great and you're saving a nice old truck from the scrapper. 90% done, 90% to go!
I wasn’t sure about the color when you first showed it but with those black accents it looks amazing!!
Its stunning. Nearly finished 😉
Cup of tea well earned.... brilliant job Max
Looking really good. Well done.
You are getting there! Once it’s finished, people are going to wonder why is it called Kermit.
I find watching other people paint stuff very soothing - I know how much hard work the preparation is!
This is wonderful - getting down to the finishing details ... soon!
Well done mate, lookin great.
Why people love old Landys.
A nice wee boost to keep the spirits up 🥃👍
Looks absolutely fantastic. Keep it coming. About a quarter way through reviving a petrol 88. Every video is more motivation. Great job.
The high speed tap tap technique on it`s own is worth the visit.
Can`t wait to see the biggest smiles ever when you and Mark go on the maiden voyage.
Hopefully grandad can make another appearance soon.
Looking great lot hard work has paid off.
well done your getting there
Max you have very creative hands awesome job
Looking excellent. Brings back memories of restoring my series 2A in 1988
A pleasure to watch.
Fabulous, Max...well done, you!
Exciting progress.
Looking good.
Can't wait for the next update. 👍👍
Early on I was surprised by the colour choice and liking it even less as it progressed, but now it is looking great. Good call. The disco rims suit it as well. I think they are the few non series rims that look good on both series and defenders.
The build is really coming along, but still a crazy amount of fiddling and fettling to do. Just like building a house, the last little bits can take forever.
It's looking great Max. Keep up the good work!
Looking pretty good Max. Kinda reminds me of the old international scout of the 70’s. Or maybe a jeep.
Looking good Max 👍
Defender bonnet and Series split screen throws the eye for a second but it does look good. Cheers
Fantastic truck Max
Have followed you on this whole build. Looking good Sir !
Great Progress - looking good - keep up the good work -- the smile on your face gets bigger as the landy becomes more complete ! ! ! She will be a unique and fun vehicle when complete ! !
It’s coming along all right!! Maybe I’ve reached the stage where I also start wanting an old Landie….
Really enjoying this build and its looking good
Good to see the happy enthusiasm, cheers
Looks brilliant, top work Max! 👏👏👏🖖👍👊😊
Fantastic work as always
Fabulous, I wish I had 1% of your talent.
I must say I wasn’t keen on the choice of colour but watching it all come together it’s an absolute winner! Well done Max incredible work looking forward to seeing the end result.
Looking good max!
Brilliant, thank you, great video. Stay safe that man,
Great content Max; really enjoyed it! Thank you. Cheers.
Looking fantastic!
