You are the FIRST youtuber that owns a damaged car, has the carvertical ad and actually shows the check on his own car. So I suspect all the other youtube salvage/shitbox/damaged cars had a green light in the app rendering it useless. Oh and I really love this project btw!
You're on a terrific learning curve and, at the same time, teaching us about the pitfalls involved in such a classy build. Btw, your wife's musical composition [?] accompaniment is wonderful
The ends to your cooling splice pipes should have a bead on the ends to keep the hose from sliding off when the cooling system pressurizes. I know you don't have a bead roller but a slight flaring of the ends would be helpful.
Someone else mentioned this. I have a manual bead roller, so that will be happening during the final build up. I just wanted to drive it before the end of the day!
I’ve called it “Landstone Martin” since the beginning. That thing is lovely, I might be doing a logo one day. One thing you should add is a snorkel breather, it will look so very sick with the rally storage in the back.
If you do a logo, we can make it into a badge! I think its cool name is ‘AMD-1’. But nickname wise…everyone has a different idea! A snorkel will be a fun idea 😎
@ “AMD-1” as the model? I was thinking of making the classic oval green with landstone martin inside, but i’m no professional. I sometimes make logos for props that me or my friends use in ttrpgs
Please don't use the ally tube in the cooling system without getting a bead rolled on the ends. The hoses could, and have, blow off and scald someone. I like the build by the way!
They will be rolled, mentioned this in the comments. But for this test there was no point. The clips were so tight and I was only testing for a short period! Glad you like it! Lots of fun to come :)
We had a Toyota corolla with no radiator and us kids took turns driving it until the headers glowed red and then letting it cool down. Never had a problem with it. Driving it for 1-2 minutes won't hurt much.
Good job. If you get a flat piece of wood. Cover the air intake up 3/4 way. It will pull all the air out the fuel system. You need a good air intake filter. Load up fuel tank with injector cleaner. And spend the extra on the good diesel. It make a big difference.
Thanks for the advice! How long do I hold the wood over? And absolutely with the fuel, I put good fuel in it today. Before that it was full of red diesel as it used to be on a farm!
@HudsonAutoFilms just a minute or two on the wood. It will purge the air out. Brink up revs. Don't use your hand or a tag. It will stuck it in. I'm talking when you get to Europe get diesel with cleaner in it. I run 53 year old Mercedes diesel engines. Makes a big difference. Make sure you got good clean diesel filter fitted. And get a couple of spares for trip.
Best solution is get a vacuum pump on the thing and pull it all up through the filters and pumps to the rail. I think these are common rail, if not do em one buy one. There will often be a specific method for some engines, turning it over a few times whilst suckiing to fill the hp pump is often it. And make surebthe pump only gets clean diesle as the HP pumps are orime source of failure and then the injectirs fail from the pumps breaking up. For some of the very best diesel advice check out dave banks, just watching his shorts is a goldmine on modern diesel knowledge. The standard oil sucker's for 40 50 quid. The flexible piping is find so long as you uses the right clips , not jubblies. You wouldnt believe how many people don't realise the standard tubing on cars needs sprung clips they leak because if the jubblies as they work loose. Also system over pressure isn't sudden failure but the sprung system will cause minor leaks, jubilees will take loads of pressure and then go bang when youve already overheated.
It really did! Felt a lot smoother as well. Next week will be fun. Then once that’s done, it’s time to take it all apart again! Have a lovely Christmas! Thanks for your support :)
I would stick it in low box to thrash around - especially now it is geared-up with the bigger wheels. Thought it was a bit crap before you got the wheels in proportion, now it really has some _Mad Max_ panache! Merry Christmas.
@@HudsonAutoFilms Even the diesel works, gives it more character considering its roots. You can tune it up cheaper than the cost of v8. repower shenanigans. _Cool Dude!_
This is epic I love it. I have this image in my head as soon as I saw it driving. Imagine the scene person filming cars as they go around the Lowes Hairpin in Monaco, suddenly there is a diesel rumble and then the Ass-Rover comes sweeping around the corner, I have to much time on my hands 😂
one question I haven’t seen yet is: are you planning to re-gear the axles? would help everywhere but especially when you first start moving. kinda expensive though
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Great progress on what originally looked like an impossible task. Use some gravel cat litter and or cement for soaking up spilled oil. It looks like you are just spreading it out on the concrete floor.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!! It’s coming together now. Lots of fun ahead. I put the litter down today, it’s helped a lot. I waited until I knew the last of the spills had happened!
Congratulations Charlie! You bravely soldered on and look how far the project has come! Never mind naysayers in the comments, what have they built? Cheers, Tom
Thank you Tom! It has certainly been a journey! Maybe our two projects may meet someday, I think one may just have the edge in elegance 😉 Best wishes, C
Excellent post. Looks like great progress. Sorry for your health issues, but the insanity seems to cover whatever it is. Really love the posts, rock on!
I really think your aluminium pipes need swaging on either end. Any kind of pressure and they will slide out. Also they look a little small for the size of the hose. Anyhow I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work. 👍
They absolutely do, I’ve got a beading tool so they’ll get the treatment during the final build up! Most of them fit well, but one was a little loose. I wish I could weld up something beautiful, but we’ll see! So glad you’re enjoying! Lots to come :)
Greetings from Virginia Beach, VA. Not sure if anyone told you, 😅 but your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car. 😂. Cheers. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family. God bless.
Greetings from freezing England! My wife grew up in Virginia beach! Ahh I was wondering why it looked funny, I’ll swap it around! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your loved ones! Take care :)
Scarey stuff taking a landy on a trip. You better prep it good. Brakes. Grease bearing. Change trans oil and axle oils. Big tyres make it slow pull off. It's geared down. Good on top end. Maybe hard work in the mountains. If you heading that way. Swiss alps. Maybe put a bigger turbo. Good luck. 👍 👍
Landrovers have never failed me! But absolutely, a lot of prep. Completely stripping it next week for the final build up where it’ll get lots of new bits! Thanks for the support! It’ll get a bit sandy where it’s going…
I have watched every episode from the beginning and it's been a journey, would you think of a V8 transplant at a later stage as I think this beast needs the waffle of a V8 over the clatter of the diesel. Of course only my opinion, take it easy, as someone with MS I know its not easy some days ..
A V8 is definitely coming! I always imagined testing it for the first year with the diesel. Mainly to shakedown the build itself under a lower power unit! But then a V8 is definitely needed in the V2! Unsure what to go with, plenty of space in the engine bay though. Thanks for your support! I do need to take better care of myself…take care of yourself too!
I'm surprised it's legal to do a heater delete in the UK. In Australia we are not allowed to, it's a requirement for roadworthy. I think it's to defog windows but surely cold air is better for that.
Interesting. In the U.K. certain things aren’t tested if they’re not present at all. I used to have a car with just the one seat. So in the MOT notes it just said ‘tested with one seat’
No rules about heaters in UK, however if you were stopped with a badly misted screen it might be an offence of obstructed vision and screen washers are certainly a requirement for the same reason. I doubt this will most up with no roof 😂 he needs to drastically reduce the seat height for a roof too.
@HudsonAutoFilms ok, but one final suggestion: S'trouver Any French speaker will tell you what it means, literally to find someone's self in the meaning of an inner journey. If English speakers will spell it like to roam an arse (rofl), oh my gosh what a coincidence...
Wait I thought that the whole reason to not alter the wheelbase was to keep it registerable ? If you do an EGR delete I don't think you will be able to get plates for it
Basically the chassis would render it illegal without question. The EGR would be linked to its emissions test. If it failed, then it would most probably be due to the EGR. At which point I’d have to get a new valve. But because it’s bolt on and off, I thought I’d try it and see how the test goes
An EGR delete on a vehicle originally fitted with one is not legal to delete it. If you can delete it in such a way that an MOT tester doesn't notice then it ussually won't effect mot emmisions

I’ve learnt so much in the process, it’s great! The music in the video isn’t hers, I can’t afford her catalog 😉
I think the name Ass Rover is a bit risky 😂 I prefer Lando Martin
Yeah you have to be careful not to say it too fast… haha
Yeah laughed at the ASTRO-VER but i think you’re a but more refined then martin and moog down under. Lando Martin seems very fitting

Dpaint it's got injectors so covering the air intake would do nothing for the fuel system

Anyone else like it without panels, it like a warthog
It does look aggressive without panels. But I love the Aston lines!
Looks best without the skin imo
Sounded a lot happier after the oul change 👍 Looking forward to seeing how you resolve the rear end. Take it easy and have a good Christmas 🎄

So pleased you’re enjoying! I’m having a great time. The hardest part is done. The next stage is time consuming but a lot easier!
Great build! Super enjoyable, thanks for all the work it takes to share this with all of us!
Cheers from Canada
Glad you’re enjoying! It’s a lot of work but great fun! Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it!

Nice seeing it driving mate has come a long way quickly on the RUclips
It has really, I often get worried as some channels seem to build so fast. But this has come together well even with my basic setup and skills!
Great work! It’s coming along nicely. Merry Christmas 🎄
Really getting there now! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Absolutely loving this project! Definitely get an electric cooling fan on there. Keep up the amazing work fella.

Hahah I did think it would be funny to take it to Monaco. Pulling up to the a casino in it 😂
And agreed.. Lando Martin is a great name
So many options!
Am I the only one who thinks you look like Moog from Mighty Car Mods when you're wearing a hat?
Haha not heard that one before
one question I haven’t seen yet is:
are you planning to re-gear the axles? would help everywhere but especially when you first start moving. kinda expensive though
I think one day. But that would come in V2 along with an engine upgrade. Until then, I’ll trudge along in the diesel!
Congrats on the test drive! I'm enjoying the build 😊
Glad you’re enjoying! Getting there now! Merry Christmas:)
How refreshing to find another person, who uses a grinder, hammer and screwdriver the right way. Loving the build, have a good Christmas mate...
The essentials! Have a lovely Christmas! So glad you’re enjoying, so much to come :)

The Land Martin again🤔🤣
😂
I mean, it smokes as much as a standard Aston Martin, I'm not sure anyone would notice anything different unless you told them.

@HudsonAutoFilms a little bit of body filler and some paint repairs, and you could sell it to some unsuspecting businessman from Birmingham
