      Like Mr T below, I'm wondering why there's a new channel, seems weird to continue an existing series on a different channel and not announce it on the old channel?

      Just about to start tearing down my ‘77 109 that’s been parked up for 10 years after also taking me around nz for a few years before that. Came across your videos and did double take at the accent. Had finally decided would have chassis thermal arc sprayed now you have me second guessing HDG again.
      Awesome videos mate!

    How did I miss this?!!!!
    Enjoyed your thorough approach. We have 2 chassis that will simply get epoxy paint. Fuel prices and 2.6l motors mean they won't be regular drivers. Shed stored.
    Progress continues on the FC and SIII.
    Yesterday I made a hash of the T seals. Ignoring your advice and trying to use a feeler gauge. FFS.
    Luckily I have spare Cork seals. That don't fit. FFS.
    Anyway great to see your chassis done. I look forward to that milestone feeling with mine.

    Chassis looks great. My defender had been waxoyled twice and whenever you do any work underneath you get covered in it for weeks afterwards. Paint is the way to go and will be what I use on my next project if it has a chassis.

    Good to have you back. I think going for a land rover channel is a good idea, even though I love your other videos anyway. I never would have guessed the acid dipping was that expensive. Crazy high cost. Must have been gutting to find rust and other imperfections after the galv. I once had LR rims dipped, but the drips we so insanely thick in all the profiles I had to blowtorch and wire brush them out, forcing me to paint them.
