      I must admit, it took me such a long time to get this next part out because I’m absolutely heartbroken. I could barely keep myself together to edit the video but I get to share so many fantastic memories with some wonderful people on this channel. I will treasure the time I had with him forever. The next part is coming, I promise! ❤️

    When you see black deposits coming out from behind a rivet in aluminium, it's fretting corrosion. You have a loose rivet. It happens on aircraft too! Great to see you back.
    Best wishes, Dean.

    Hey Sophie!! I showed my mum some of this video the other day. She liked your accent.
    I live in Western Australia and our version of BBC featured a story about a lady about your age who also fixes up Landrovers.
    Mum saw it and thought it was a story about you!
    Here’s the link to the news story
    “Strangers online told Madelyn she couldn't rebuild this vintage vehicle. Now she's proving them wrong”
    The story on ABC news is called “Female Fourwheel drive enthusiast confronts stereo types. “
    I reckon if you got in touch, she would be well stoked to hear from you.

    A very sad ending to such a wonderful life but I am sure that he is watching over you from far above and keeping an eye on what's to come. Its always great to see how things are progressing with your projects and the quality of your work is really good to see from someone so young, your a credit to your generation and something to be very proud of. Keep up the good work Sophie and keep on enjoying your adventure and inspiring others to follow your example. I have to say that the Cork float had me in stiches, why on earth would any one use a Cork...LMAO

    Those are some solid welds! I Just got a new welder from the 80s a 300kg esab, but its silky smooth in thin and thick material. looks almost as good as yours, welding with a nice welder is such a good feeling. Super nice repairs!

    That's alot of work,ln AU we are not aloud to weld the chassis unless we go to a professional who can sign it of. Your lucky you have that clerk of works supervising the weld jobs,he looks like his a real pro.

  • @neilbowser6359

    I use CAD (cardboard assisted design) whenever I make patches or something to fit an existing piece. It saves material and time and makes sure you get a good fit. Looking good.

  • @marcusd2380
    @marcusd2380 Год назад

    Serious amount of work in that video and it can’t be easy working under it with it on the ground. I did a bit of work on a car but to the extent u have done here. A few things I found great were galvafroid paint which is high zinc for rust prevention. Seam sealer on top of welds before spraying or painting. Weld through primer as well. Good luck and enjoy Gordon

But washing the Car is my idea of a Touch up..... I do highly recommend Travel.... It is a Big World with some amazing places and people to see..... Watch some "Itchy Boots" videos... She is Amazing.... RIP Laddie.... :-) xx

    Sorry to hear about Laddie, he was a star in his own right and devoted to you!
    Fabulous video and I love Cornwall too likewise it’s well over 400 miles away from me too.
    Don’t know if you seen the Lost Cause Ranch videos from the US. Joe might give you some new ideas as he rescues Landrovers that have sat in fields for decades, in fact anything Land Rover at all. He does like fitting a V8 into the odd one too.
    Like you he is a very talented fabricator and even make his own custom exhaust systems from scratch. He also has a supervisor called Sasha who doesn’t like the cold.
    Looking forward to your next video and the excellent work.
