Little Known Fact: A Kiwi Can Tear a Land Rover Apart
Geoffrey Croker is a New Zealander who’s restoring a 1978 Land Rover for some reason or another. He is afflicted with the most delightful accent, but you can almost understand what he’s saying most of the time, which is a real plus. He’s offering more than the usual amount of charm and busted knuckles than you’ll find on the typical car salvage video. From time to time, he veers into the brilliant end of the repair spectrum, like the 20:30 mark where he fabricates tapered guide blocks to get the oil seals past the sharp edges of the engine block unscathed. Good on ye, mate, or something.

Somewhat related: I thought @ sending you the vid of a team of German mechanics assembling a jeep in 4 minutes, but the dpi was like 360 or so. 360 dpi is what we’d be living now had the Germans won the war, and the vid would instead be of Americans putting together a VW in, like, 3 minutes.
There is a moral in this somewhere.
Carry on.
