That's the first time ever that I've not watched one of your videos to the end Matt. If it was down to me, I'd leave those guys to finish the process. Then do one of your normal reviews of the finished product. Just sayin mate.
Looking forward to seeing this driving again on the road! I'm very impressed with the dedication of the chaps at Transformotion, they are doing a fabulous job!
A great video. Love the link between the two channels. Nothing wrong with a crossover. I do love this and the earlier Range Rovers. Glad to see this being lightly transformotioned into a working runabout
quality Matt keep the great content coming top lads with skills they are ! and love the down to earth documentary style filming adds so much realism to the videos superb
Excellent Matt. Enjoyed that. You mentioned the narrowness of the Rangie....given that it is a 5 seater roomy car, it is far better suited to UK roads than the current models. I seem to remember mine having the spare wheel mounted on the near side of the boot.
For a couple of DIYers the lads are on a good learning curve, slow and steady turning a sows ear into a silk purse. I've come across a few rotted rear ends but good fronts from where people have reversed boat trailers into the sea from ramps which might be the case for your motors IOW first home.
Love the work the lads are doing at Transformotion - all with good banter and no little creative skills when needed. Be a joy to see this one back on the road
Niiiice! I have an '82 2-door, but it looks to me like you actually should have airconditioning. Mine has it and the way you can tell is it has the extra ventilation openings in the dash. Unless they all got those openings as standard later on. Good job so far!
My parents had the older model in RED and loved it. Drove around Australia with them in 1985 and was flawless. My dad currently has a 2002 Discovery 2 red diesel with 87,000 km. :) bought from new.
That will be a nice car that when it's done Matt. I had a 89G 3.5 Manual Vogue cracking car and simple to work on I used to work at a Land Rover dealership in the late 80's as a technician. Also if you weren't silly with the throttle you could get the mid-20's mpg on a run. When the lads get it running ask them to pressure test the cooling system as the heater matrix are prone to leaking as most of the interior is out. It's a 6hour job so your half way there I know I've done loads of them🤨
Any doubters in these lads ability just need to checkout the rear axle area… it’s looking fantastic. This is going to be fantastic and I really don’t think it’s going to be the old ‘I’ve massively overspent’ either!
Great video Matt.....but I've got to say it really reminded me of the scene in I'm Alan Partridge when he's talking to the builders and wearing a hard hat with 'Boss' written on it!!!!!!
He’s so out of his depth, reading the age of tires and brake disc condition is his limit, I’ve just completed a restoration on a classic Range Rover 4 years work and 12k but better than the day it left the factory, this is defo not a restoration
I remember from my K reg the spare is on the passenger tyre is on the passenger side and there was a sub woofer on the other side. with a small speaker coming out of it at the top along the shelf side of things.
Sure, it's not an as-new, concourse-level restoration, but given the state of it when they first got it, the lads are doing a restoration on it, but the best kind of restoration; one that means it'll get used and driven. The lads always blow my mind because they make these things look so easy and they're always so chilled out about things when I look at some of their projects and think it'll be a nightmare.
Hi Matt love watching your videos. I had my Defender done at Mahker Shropshire and they did an amazing job on mine. I don’t know if you watch their RUclips channel but it’s worth a look. Keep up the good work.
I used to work for a Shower Screen business based in Macclesfield in 80's and both bosses had these style range rovers , both ended up with chevrolet V8 Blazer engines in and wolfrace turbo vane wheels ..... nice ps they started out as van type version imported from France, they were used to tow a shower screen display trailer to B&Q , WH Smith Do It All etc after I passed my test which the company arranged I was handed the keys and let loose in them 😀
My army Landy is 2 years older than yours, have a driven original Range Rover does make mine feel really agricultural lol look forward to you getting it back on the road 👍
So regards the trs outputs, can these be split into 2 mono outs to enable say snare and bass assigned to 3 but then split to 2 mono channels to go into mixer. This would in affect give you 8 channels.
We have the same Range Rovers. Not only will you find yourself grabbing the keys to the RRC, you will start finding excuses to go for a drive. The RRC is truly a special car.
Great jobs lads but the most impressive thing on here was that Matt got a parking space on the sainsburys/costa car park 😂 normally queuing out on to road there.
Hi Matt……. Re the decals/stickers on the bonnet and lower rear tailgate…… I suggest that you do what I did on 1990 Range Rover (one owner). I purchased the latest plastic Range Rover letters from amazon and fixed them on said panels!!!! They look a truck load better than the two dimensional decals!!!! My RR Is Cairngorm brown in colour and I used black three dimensional letters and not silver!!!! The black letters marry in well with all the other black features on the RR…. Front grill…. Bumpers….black upper tailgate and black rear view mirrors!!! The RR looks a peach 🍑!!!! How was the Borg Warner Height adjusting unit in the rear of the RR???? And spare wheel goes on the left side of the boot……tool kit and Jack on the right hand side of the RR….. Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿😎👍👍😂
I had an '87 3.5 efi (the year they switched to fuel injection) in Conifer green. Failed its first MoT with a leaking PS pump. That was kind of a heads-up for the future... Nevertheless I kept it for 13 years, best car I've ever owned. The family were in tears when I sold it, but I just couldn't keep up with the maintenance. Many of the issues yours has (hole in the footwell, rotten battery box, upper tailgate corosion, fuel tank leak? fuel pump failure) mine had. The cylinder heads are prone to warp - I wouldn't run it for a minute without coolant - I had to have mine skimmed twice. The Vogue does have aircon, btw. I had to switch it off going up M-way hills as it sucked too much power from the engine. But oh, that V8 sound...
A little known fact but Holmes Chapel is also the home of my uncle George. Small world or what? Also, good to see Scousers putting wheels on cars for a change.
I used to use my discovery to launch our boat, off its trailer. Not surprisingly it helped the rust no end. I wonder if that RR was used in a similar way.
Really trivial info - Range Rover Classic fuel tanks were made by NC Joseph/NCJ Pressings of Stratford on Avon (long gone) who also made Swan teapots, etc and briefly an extremely unsuccessful washing machine. The press shop was full of almost steampunk huge prewar knuckle presses.
Matt, it would be great to take the car back to Isle of Wight and let the previous owners son see it. The reaction video would be great once it's all done ✔️
Parts of this reminded me of Alan Partridge when he’s trying to make small talk with his builders 😂

I think it’s great you’re getting this back on the road. The lads are doing a great job.
You are saving lovely old Range Rover Matt well done 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
Hi Matt,I think it's coming together.when it's done it'll look fab.keep up the good work.

Unbelievable. I never thought this could be saved. But it’s looking a lot better already. Can we add subtitles for the next sequel, please? 😂
Please. I cannot understand these two at all.
The fellas are doing a great job going through this motor.
I think we owe HPA a big thanks for putting us onto this cracking channel. I love a RR & this is like crack to me. Cannot wait for more ❤
I have used Froggatt's 'Easy on Panels' on mine. I highly recommend them as they a good fit and reasonably priced.
Needs a “yeah” counter for how many times Matt say it 😂😂
We need to find a new phrase for the intro to his video's
Hahaha I noticed it now😂
Yeah.

I had one from scrap yard 500 got it on road 9 months pylmoth blue really enjoyed doing it well done lads getting there 👏 👍
HAVING MY 32 YEAR OLD RANGE ROVER CLASSIC RESTORED! Quick title correction
I had a green Vogue SE 92 K reg we had the green velour seats the leather wasn’t nice and soft to sit on so went with Velour instead
You’re in safe hands with these lads they really know what there doing guess that’s why you picked them great work and properly ❤
Aww Matt! Full Resto needed please!🙏
Think of the content & the views you’d get, not to mention a cracking Rangie! Pleeeeeeease!❤️👍

...."although I have over -spent massively on this one"! 😉

This is going to be fantastic and I really don’t think it’s going to be the old ‘I’ve massively overspent’ either!
Great content as usual Matt! I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing this Classic back on the road. Nothing like a MK1 Range Rover 👌
The English language spoken without moving your jaw. Amazing.....😂😂😂😂

Keep the teddy bear fabric seats if you can! - waaay more comfortable than leather both in winter and summer.

DLS are a great company to get LR-RR parts from. Used them all the time when I had 2 RR-P38’s.
Looking good lads, can’t wait to see the end result 👌🏻
Enjoy that channel, they do good work. Don't always understand, but still enjoy!
The range rover will be something pretty nice when it's done
When I was a boy, I got taken from Norfolk to Worcestershire in a three door Range Rover 1970’s how lucky was I !
Not been in a Range Rover since…
"I have over spent" alot is coming 😂 Matt seriously good stuff its important to keep history alive!
Hi Matt love watching your videos. I had my Defender done at Mahker Shropshire and they did an amazing job on mine. I don’t know if you watch their RUclips channel but it’s worth a look.

let the massive overspending begin 😂😂
This is coming along lovely it looks really smart underneath. Well done to the lads

Couple of great lads, love the down to earth way they get on with it(could do with sub titles😜(joking) ), definitely gonna follow them.

That old range rover is taking shape those 2 guys are doing an amazing re build 😊
Yes they are!
When I was a Traffic Police Officer I used to drive this model/ year of Range Rover. They were a great go anywhere vehicle.
Looking great can't wait to see it fully finished
You know that sketch Alan Partridge did, involving some builders?. This reminds me of that.
Matt struggles with others on the video. It’s not just these two, it’s all colabs he’s done. His energy and confidence drops.
seems like a normal interaction to me, people trying to discuss the project but also doing for audience not just a private conversation
Great to see it coming along so well 👍
They've done a good job as always and you seem pleased with the results 😊
My army Landy is 2 years older than yours, have a driven original Range Rover does make mine feel really agricultural lol look forward to you getting it back on the road 👍
So regards the trs outputs, can these be split into 2 mono outs to enable say snare and bass assigned to 3 but then split to 2 mono channels to go into mixer. This would in affect give you 8 channels.

Hi Matt……. Re the decals/stickers on the bonnet and lower rear tailgate…… I suggest that you do what I did on 1990 Range Rover (one owner).
I purchased the latest plastic Range Rover letters from amazon and fixed them on said panels!!!!
They look a truck load better than the two dimensional decals!!!!
My RR Is Cairngorm brown in colour and I used black three dimensional letters and not silver!!!!
The black letters marry in well with all the other black features on the RR…. Front grill…. Bumpers….black upper tailgate and black rear view mirrors!!!
The RR looks a peach 🍑!!!!
How was the Borg Warner Height adjusting unit in the rear of the RR????
And spare wheel goes on the left side of the boot……tool kit and Jack on the right hand side of the RR…..

Matt I’m looking forward to seeing her on the road. 👌 will be another one you’ve nicely saved
Feel sorry for the mickey mousers bet they’re thinking When is the nerd going back to Stockport. So we can carry on ripping him off Ha ha.

Great dialogue here. Cracking video.
Looking forward to you floating about in this.
Me too
Should come and see us we have bloody loads of parts for classic RangeRovers
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right.
This is great. Just that I can already see the massive overspending for this restoration 😁
I used to use my discovery to launch our boat, off its trailer. Not surprisingly it helped the rust no end. I wonder if that RR was used in a similar way.
When my mum drove the same model in RED 4 door she had "Mean Mother" spot lights on the front :)
I work at a Range Rover classic specialist so if there’s any parts you can’t get hold of or any advice give me a shout

My old 91 model 3.9 se had a rotten lower portion of the bulkhead, all my previous older models had good bulkheads, as they say ' go figure '
Genuinely in better condition than my car already, can't wait to see how it turns out
Absolutely fantastic. I love it
Like a modern version of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", but with an old Range Rover. Looking forward to seeing how this ends up.
at least it has still got a National Trust sticker
Another great video really enjoy these videos and yourself great creator
Ask them how Man United did on Sunday. I had to put subtitles on to understand them.
The look at the camera when you said “plain sailing” 😂😂😂
Looks like a good job!
