Restoring a Range Rover classic in 26 minutes. Time lapse. Part 1 of 4 

Haha thanks Dan! The channel is growing every day! Plenty more interesting cars to come

Thankyou. Really appreciate it. I’m going to do it as a 4 part series just as a re-cap so people can see how far it’s come. Cheers for the support means a lot.

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it

Cheers Jerry!

He’s my best mate!

Thankyou! Really appreciate it. Is there anything you’ve seen on the channel which you’d like to see more of?

Thankyou! Really has been a labour of love. Yes he is indeed. A GSP. He’s 6 years old now. Bit more grey around the chops! Cheers for watching

@Automotiveolie wonderfull dogs. Amazingly bright and curious

@@Biffsteki massively intelligent. He can sniff something out from miles away. Very loyal too. Always had labradors and spaniels but the GSP has my heart.

I’d really hate to think how many. Some weeks I do 5 days a week with 10 hour days! I’ll probably sit down and try to work it out at some point.

The short answer is because the paint I brushed on is designed for metal requiring no prep, you can even paint it directly onto rust if you want. If I’d had the money and time I’d have taken the body off the chassis, blasted all components etc. the stone chip i sprayed on the chassis and body components is a hard wearing rubberised coating which goes on uniformly with aerosol and wouldn’t look right on the running gear. It wasn’t a 100k restoration more of a build which kept the look as original and useable without breaking the bank.

@@Automotiveolie Very cool. I'm in a similar situation, not dropping 100K on it, but want to find a happy median solution. I'll follow your lead.

I didn’t know there was a difference. Thanks for pointing it out. I’m going to leave it as that’s what came off the car and I want to keep it how it was. Cheers

@@Automotiveolie That Bumper as fitted is a later 80's bumper- would come matt black which would have the Plastic End Caps that extended down the wings hence didnt have the original swaged steel ends to make way for bracketry to attach the Plastic shit caps. It'll Give the resto away if you dont change it- there are many subtle Cues that make the RR Classic the special vehicle it is !- that is one of them ! Great to see somebody else keeping these Phenomenal vehicles going. No Compromise !!!!!!!!!!

@@jameslindley924 ah right makes sense. I remember seeing the captive nuts behind it. I’ll probably just keep the bumper until I come across an original one. The rangie is nowhere standard so not a massive issue unless you’re someone who knows them inside out

Hello. Happy to help however my engine is not the original v8 and the interior is also from 1980’s so again not correct.

Hi John. It was just a satin black direct to metal brush paint from Screwfix. I’ll find the make for you.

@@Automotiveolie Thanks!

As in the work trousers? Just cheap ones off eBay I think. I go through so many

I have a bad history with those stupid wire wheels! There’s a photo famous amongst my friends from when I was 21 with a wire wheel stuck in my leg whilst working on an escort Mexico! But yes I hate the bloody things but apart from sand blasting nothing else does the job sadly

The background music? It’s just a royalty free guitar tune off iTunes.

It’s hard to find good music that you can use which isn’t copyrighted. No music is kinda boring so gives people the option to mute I guess

What's this ?

Really struggling to find any decent music as it has to be royalty free. Any suggestions?

@@Automotiveolie Yes. None! 😀
