V20E8: How To Sort of Repair the Door on a 1991 Land Rover Defender With Hand Tools

Рет қаралды 15,899

Күн бұрын

First video devoted to fixing up my Land Rover Defender 110. In this episode, I repair an ailing driver's side door. While it isn't a critical driving component, it is something that I use a lot. Many of the door's inside parts were loose, broken, or missing, and the window was flopping around freely in the door cavity, and its condition was worsening every day. This video shows the repair process, disassembly, reassembly, and parts sourcing!

Amazing how many small projects pile up into a large pile. Even the small repairs feels good and victorious. Thanks for sharing.

So nice to see old vehicles taken care of. By taking care of the little things, it is much more likely a vehicle is repaired when a big thing happens instead of being sent to the scrap yard. Keep the Land Rover videos coming!

How long before you address the front end issue & replace the tires? … seems to be a pretty high priority … looking forward on how you “upgrade” the remainder of the interior …

Although I understand how these can be problematic, if one adapts the “reuse” concept, they are very much a solution. Among other things, I reuse mine to line my household waste receptacles. They are far more degradable than the trash bags sold solely for this purpose. And I have not purchased any trash bags in well over 10 years.
