Project Discovery // Part 6 - No More Rust! This video completes the rust repair process on a Land Rover Discovery. Workshop Charts - www.geoffreycroker.com/ / geoffreycroker / geoffreycroker flickgeoffanemail@gmail.com
The great thing about a daily driver project like this is that by the time the repairs are finished and it's ready for the school run, the kids are old enough to drive themselves
@@mini696 You are so right! Projects are certainly more complicated, and need much more time to be completed. This is just a little TLC to a daily driver, like anyone of us knows....
Man, I am going through the same disaster rust repairs on my 05 dodge pickup, rust repairs on multi layered areas are going to haunt my nightmares forever. Watching you go after them keeps me motivated to keep plugging away at my dumpster fire of a project. Keep up the good work and the amazing videos! Thank you!
Those BOC welders were made by Kemppi so are worth repairing at least if you are able to replace components on the board yourself. It shouldn't be too difficult, when fixing electronics I start by a visual inspection and then usually replace all capacitors. Transformer welders last decades longer than any inverter welder will.
As if starting a lazy Sunday morning wasn't pleasant enough on its own, Geoffrey delights with an update! Would these videos be as cherished if they didn't always seem to pop up randomly at just the right time? Would we be as enthralled if these were cranked out on a timely regular basis? I don't know the answer to that, I just know I'm happy about today's episode, what a treat!
when i was 18 my dad left to die a jeep grand Cherokee 1998 on our home, watching you fixing this truck, makes me remember when i did fix that old piece of trash but at the end she was looking amazing we even did far trips to Amazonian jungle with it. hope you finish both of these projects, at least to me both are looking flawless. keep going and keep posting it. thanks.
I absolutely live for your videos, all notifications turned on! Thank you for doing what I always wished I could've done for my old Discovery. Also love the comedic side of it too. Thank you again. 🙌🙌
The New Zealand version of This Ol‘ Tony... (wait! Or is he the American version of you!?) Keep up the kick ass efforts. This has been a fun journey so far and also can’t wait to see you get back to the other one as well! Cheers from the states. 🙌🏼
Awesome job. You’re like me, I have to fix stuff that you can’t see that most people would leave alone. It’ll all be worth it in the end when you have a fully working vehicle. My defender is over thirty years old and people always think it’s new and I’m on the same journey with my p38 decrusting and getting everything working as it should.
I mean... they're good cars. When not rusty... which is a very small crossover percentage of the population as they were made with just about the cheapest metal man can make, whilst not making disposable wingnuts.
I have my final year exam starting at 9am & I’m here watching your video at 1:40am.. If you could have uploaded a little earlier.!🙌🏽😂 Anyway hope to see this running after the exam! Cheers.. wish me luck
Hello I've been doing the same project in Poland for a few months now. every time I take apart new surprises come out and sometimes I lose hope that I will ever finish. Thanks to your channel, when I watch it, it cheers me up that it is possible and there are others with such projects to save. Keep recording and I'll send you mine when I'm done. Regards
When you first got this ‘rust bucket’, I thought u were robbed. Now I can see u knew what u were getting your self into, and uve got the skilz to handle any build. 🤛🏽
I was beginning to wonder where you'd gone and going to your channel I realized I had missed a 38 minute long video! Great to see the Disco being back on track, some light at the end of the flaky and scaling tunnel!
On my 2004 Discovery, I actually found a small spec of rust on a weld seam under the driver's seat. Almost a dime sized rust!! While in shop, someone spilled a cola or something and only mopped up outside the seat panel, so when I took off the panel to do some work, I found the rust. That's literally the only rust spot on mine.
Hey man! I appreciate any content you provide. I've watched every one of you r vids and I've been around for a while now and I feel like a part of your journey here. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work mate
The assortment of tooling and devices to cut fancily formed holes in Your "not-a-project" detuned luxury-ish daily beater is getting more impressive by the episode.
These are some of my favorite videos that come across on RU-vid. Your sense of humor is always refreshing and to me that is what makes these videos so enjoyable. It really doesn't matter what you are working on, these videos always provide the same enjoyment.
Regarding all of that hidden rust, the easiest way to get rid of it is to leave it in a bad neighborhood with keys in the ignition… You are a brave, persistent man. Great video as always.
Glad we got an update on the actual project. Hope some updates keep coming for this one. Working on a Willy’s that was pulled out of a field that says for 30 years. Basically the same process of cutting and welding in around all the rust spots.
I know our steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car but you really should buy one from California or Arizona. I mean it's a Land Rover You're still going to have video content as they pretty much left the factory broken. (I say that but yet I am stupid enough to buy not one but probably a dozen over the years). Being serious keep the video content going I can't get enough of it.
My first thought when seeing all that extra rust: That's it.. Now he's had enough. He's gonna sell it. *music intensifies. *Starts cutting. *Me making more coffee.🫶💅👁️🫦👁️💆
5:36 for tight spaces like that, i recommend a small band sander attachment for the grinder. Makes all the difference being able to get into small spaces without having to worry that you'll find a hole ground in the wrong place. More effective too, once you get the hang of it you'll find yourself reaching for the band sand grinder more, if you can pair it with a small sized angle grinder, even better, something like an air powered one is the best, but not everyone has the litrage to power that kind of a tool, my personal vote would go for the smallest you can get with a speed control.
Thanks for the video and entertainment Geoffrey. You're pretty funny. Maybe some sort of stand-up welding ,stage gigs? I bought a RRC and a MIG, so i'm loving the content
It's super cool how you're putting this much effort into a discovery love it. I hope to do something like this to mine but also actually galvanize the body and chassis
Thanks for another entertaining, funny and informative video. Your dry sense of humour is hilarious. Glad to see the Series Landy is living undercover and awaiting further time and attention. All the best from Scotland. Regards Ian
