Defender 110 Camper Build Ep.2 | Rear Tub Floor Restoration | YRM Metals

- In episode 1 you would have seen we ripped up our old flooring and found a lot of rust and corrosion, something we knew we had to repair before we could really start our camper build.
We put many hours into replacing our floor, firstly starting by finding a company that supplied the correct panels. We found YRM Metals which produces Land Rover panels, you can actually build an entire Land Rover from the parts they supply - HOW AWESOME!
We do still have a long way to go with our build but we are making a lot of progress and should be nearly on our way to completing our build in the next few months - all things going to plan!
Let us know if you have any questions regarding our build process, we are by no means professionals and we would highly recommend doing your own research and not just copying us, but we are more than happy to help if we can!
Items we have bought for the camper so far:

Rear Floor 3mm Mill Finish - yrmit.co.uk/pr...
Rear Floor Support Top Hat - yrmit.co.uk/pr...

I really admire the two of you for taking this on. It can be daunting taking on these tasks with a Landy....but you have saved yourselves a fortune by doing it yourselves and in truth you've done a better job than someone else would do because it's your passion....... and it's your Landy. You guys have nailed it and produced an excellent result. Your videos are good for the soul and are complemented by great music choices which capture the moment perfectly......It serves to remind us all that the world is full of beautiful places waiting to be discovered in our Landys. Thank you both for sharing your adventures.......Buck and Ruthie
It was definitely a daunting task but we needed to do this to save us further down the line. That is very true, no one will care as much as we do about our Landy! Thank you so much for your kind words, it honestly means so much to us. ☺
Love the video! nice to see a more in depth build log rather than a 20 minute time lapse seeing a 10 minute video on installing the floor alone is great! Learned so much on this video alone
Thank you so much! We are still working hard on our build and will have a new video coming soon with some updates 😊
Worth you explaining a bit more as you go. (I didnt fully understand about the fuel tank removal requirement and it would have been nice to see you take it out and refit)
Thanks for your comment, as I said in my response to your comment on our latest video, we will be sure to explain more in future videos and with regards to the fuel tank we had to do some work on the tank, therefore, removed it before replacing the floor. Hope that helps ☺ Have a great day!
Unfortunately you seem to have missed a critical stage. When we do this job we etch prime all the galvanised steel sections and treat it with POR-15 this makes it last far longer, we also used barium chromate primer on the underside of the aluminium floor, before also treating it with POR-15. This extra step will make the repairs you did last much longer. Every thing else was very nicely done.
Hi! Thanks for pointing that out. We knew some sort of paint and rust protection should have been applied. We were on such a tight schedule that once the boys arrived I had to get them in as quickly as possible. I think in the future once the bulkhead replacement happens we will look at getting a rust proofing coating underneath the whole vehicle.. but you are right we should have given ourselves more time and treated the glav.
Cheers!
Harry
Mission creep, frightening how one job always seems to open up a another sometimes even bigger & more complex job. You did the right thing replacing it all doing it properly, but not for the faint of heart it’s a big job with a few unexpected surprises along the way.
Absolutely but we love it 😂
Hello Chloé and Harry, Very nice work and very interesting and instructive video... in addition it is very well filmed and commented as always. I can't wait for the next video. Thanks a lot... Captain River 23 from France
Thanks so much! Lots more to come very soon ☺️🙌
Great job expertly carried out, an excellent sound base. Love your videos. Cannot wait for the next,
Thanks so much Gary!😆
Great progress both your methodical approach will pay off you are doing a fantastic job
Thank you ☺️
I would have cut a hole in fo fuel pump access, a lot easier to gain access from above, a td5 you'll definitely need to get the fuel pump out sooner or later. That floor will never come out either, definitely overkill and solid.
We have gone back and forth on this one ourselves. Thanks for your comment 😊
Top job looks like a factory finish !
You think! Thanks 😂
Amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂😊
So amazing
I'm tempted to buy a Defender to build up as a camper, not sure if your video series is inspiring me or convincing me to look at another vehicle option! Good on you both regardless, labour of love for sure... 👌🏽
You won’t look back I promise!
It was hard graft but look at what we’re doing with it now!
Harry
Wow it’s really coming together!!
😅
Massive job! Well done. As a fellow Landy owner I understand that “bravery” is part of ownership and modification! I recently took the roof off and cut my roll cage on my 110 NAS and fit it with an Alu-Cab Icarus rooftop! I modified and reassembled the cage! I’ve seen so many videos over the years with people wondering if it can be done. And I just did it! I am building out my interior and stumbled across your video. Subscribed, liked And happy to comment. I always enjoy seeing what other people do with their builds. This is a lifestyle of passion and we all serve the community. Well done you guys, and happy happy travels. I look forward to seeing what you do with the new design. Good videos and production is spot on! Cheers from the USA.
Thank you! It was a pretty daunting task but really needed to be done! Wow that's also a massive job! Thanks so much for your comment we really appreciate it!
@@TheLandyExpedition mutual passion!! One day you just decide and begin…. 👊😂 cheers and happy to follow and support. Hope our paths cross some day. Looking forward to following your build and further adventures.
Nice video guys just found your channel and always wanted a 110, looking forward to seeing more on this.
Thank you very much, really appreciate it! We do love our 110!
Nice job there. I did the same job last year and I have to say, I'm surprised you didn't paint and rust proof the underfloor supports before assembly. Galvanised or not, you want to give those supports the best chance you can, especially as they are a such a mud and water trap. My biggest regret was not replacing the fuel pump while I had the oppotunity. Guess what I did last week lol.
Haha! Yes we should’ve painted with hindsight
Gostei muito do vídeo bem explicativo, abraço John
Thanks so much ☺️
Good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work! Although the lack of gloves had me sweating 😅. Was the original cab floor riveted down when you ripped it out? Cheers
Sorry for the late reply, yes gloves I find pretty annoying sometimes but agree should wear them
👌👌👌👌VERY GOOD JOB HATE TO SEE MORE
Thanks so much
Hi guy's. Is the floor plate Aluminium and what about the other frames. Thanks for sharing your awesome video
Hey Gary, the floor plate is aluminium and the support struts and top hats are steel. We fixed a strip of rubber padding between the two metals to prevent future rust and corrosion.
Also, you are very welcome. We are glad you liked it 😊
Absolutely awesome 👍🍻
Looks great! Interesting to see the struts can be replaced from the inside. Just an advice from someone twice your age: please wear goggles - your eyes can't be replaced; same for appropriate masks when handling solvents and spray.
Yes, I think the more common way of doing this is by taking the car apart but we didn’t want to have to do that!
Harry has updated his goggles since this video was filmed. We wear masks when working with sprays or when there is a lot of dust. Thanks for your comment 😊
Great job, it is so nice to see couple working together. And one tip, when using grinder, disk should it mount opposite, with label and Text inside. Otherwise disc can broke and hurt you. Cheers from Croatia!
