Project Kermit 20: A Series Land Rover Full Restoration

In this super length episode we rebuild the front axle - and then upgrade it to disk brakes (not without some drama)! It's a long one so I've broken it into chapters: 00:00 Grandad and I unbox the disc brake conversion kit and the axle rebuild kit. 15:41 We strip down the halfshafts 19:20 The workforce has halved but work carries on! 27:23 The halfshafts go in. The conversion (and problems) begin. 29:23 Disaster! I strip a thread in the new custom part. 40:47 Problem sorted. Back on track. The disk brake conversion kit is the one made by Heystee-automotive, not sponsored - other kits are available! I managed to get this one before brexit pushed up the cost of importing anything into the UK from Europe. Project Kermit is a 1978 Land Rover Series 3 109 (long wheel base) which is being stripped right down and rebuilt with a 200tdi engine and a few other improvements.
