Something very satisfying watching someone else getting the same enjoyment I do while fixing little bits on my old vehicles. Luckily my 22 year old D1 humors me by needing a little love. Very wise to farm out the work you don’t actually enjoy to others.

Giday Steve, hope you and yours are well. Lots of good progress on the 109 and it's amazing how all these little jobs add up on the 'to do' list. Super job on the tailgate, tricky wee sucker! And the motor sounds peachy when it's idling quietly. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖😎🐶🦴🚙🦘

Thanks Pedro, it is coming along but the little stuff eats a lot of time (of which I have plenty at the moment so...). It was bloody hard to find a 109 tailgate in Australia, so I had to make do with what I could get but I am happy enough with it, it is functional and looks consistent with the rest of the car. Stay well my friend.

Thanks for all the videos. Really enjoying and learning here in San Diego California. I just picked up a 1968 109 and am in the process of adding Tesla power! Last registration tags were 1983. Anything rubber on the rig was rotten. I have finished the rear axle rebuild and should have the front back together soon. Cheers!

How about the coreplug at the back of the block best way to get to it is to remove serial number plate from bulkhead use a hole saw to cut hole and then you can see coreplug, Also screwed plugs on top of head these can be removed with the head on but are hard to replace so I found that Toyota diff plugs will fit a little bit tight but put a good sealant on them and they seal well.I have been working on Landis for about 55 years from uk to Pilbara to south coast of WA .Regards Martin Pope

Great to see you making the most of isolation. I still have to work. I have a box of those old Lucas lights. Early Minis used them as front indicators/parkers, that's why they have a three wire base. I'll probably use a pair as reverse lights on my Series 3 88 inch. I like the wing mirrors but not sure I could put up with climbing out to adjust them every time some clown knocks into them.
@VintageRestorationsAustralia
@VintageRestorationsAustralia 4 года назад
Thanks Brett, Stay safe whilst your working :-( They are a nice little light, I just wish my indicators would show up, its been about 6 weeks... everything is taking ages at present, understandable. The wing mirror is a little useless I must say, it is pretty hard to see anything with it. Take care.

@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Freight from the UK is slow all round. Maybe less planes means more stuff is coming by sea? I picked up some bits from a Mini and a Land Rover specialist in Melbourne last week and they were both complaining they were running out of stock.
@VintageRestorationsAustralia
@VintageRestorationsAustralia 4 года назад
Yer I think you are right. Sadly slow freight is not any cheaper though, I paid as much for freight as I did for the mid pipe and muffler for this project ...it still came in half the price of what I could buy it in Australia for though. 1st world problems hey.

Vintage Restorations Australia all of it: the shoot from the hip style, the no-nonsense approach to the work and also the fact that the car is being kept in a tough utility style rather than made into a museum piece. My 1974 Series 3 is a driver not an art object and that’s what Landies are meant for. I’ll stay tuned 👍🏻

One of the aims of this channel (apart from fame and fortune) is to encourage people to have a go at stuff they may not be comfortable with. I built my house, I'm not a builder, all the music on this channel is me playing but I have never had a music lesson, I had never restored a caravan until I did one.. Not all amateurs are incompetent and not all professionals are competent either... I can do welch plugs but I swear too much when I do :-) I pick my battles (and Ben makes light work of such jobs). Get yourself a landy, its a fun thing to do.

Hi Steve. What is the pneumatic riveting gun that you have? Would you recommend it?
@VintageRestorationsAustralia
@VintageRestorationsAustralia 4 года назад
Good question. I use two Peter, one for solid rivets and one for pop rivets, Landies use both so both are useful. The pop rivet gun was a $120 on eBay and I have done close to 20,000 rivets with it (doing my vintage caravan restorations)- definitely good value It's a cheapo Chinese no name kinda tool. The solid riveter is Redbox 737 aircraft tool, great tool for solid rivets, but runs at about $400 (Au), it is the correct tool for the job. Alternate would be to get an air chisel and adapt the bit to suit, that would save you a few hundred bucks.
