In this video we tackle the very complex task of restoring the wings on a Series 1 Land Rover. Some might say the vehicle we have worked on is a piece of history and should be kept as it is, and others may disagree striving for the perfect restoration but our client (Tom's brother) wanted to try and fix a previous "bodge" repair job but to keep in theme with the 70 year old patina that comes along with age.
Watch to find out how we decided to tackle the daunting task on this Series 1 Land Rover.

So nice that the original wear and tear was kept. Patina shows the history of the vehicle, and each scratch and dent has a story.. Nut and bolt restoration takes all that away, and is mutton dressed up as lamb. Well done on a neat and clever fix on the fenders. Landy Nutcase, Hermanus, Capital of Land Rovers in RSA. 👍🏻 🇿🇦 👍🏻

Nice vid. Like seeing what you do. If this a later 80 then it wouldn’t be a lights through the grille.

Enjoyed the video but the audio let it down in places. Seemed like you were all relying on the camera mic.

Really appreciate your feedback. It was the first video we did “In house” and most certainly room for improvement. Hope you had a great weekend.

Guys, really enjoyed the video and appreciate care being taken with a Series 1, but a couple of things bother me. Firstly, as surely you know, those aren’t the original side lamps. Secondly I’m bemused by your approach to repairing the wings, with a nice honest repair, covered by a thin film of lies. Faking a patinated finish is the exact opposite of respecting the honest patina of the rest of the body. Fix it, paint it (just like the chassis) but don’t fake it. Please.
