4X4 + SUPERCAR… PART 6

Super happy u got a sponsor! Watched without skipping ;)

Soooo... Is it Aston Rover or Land Martin?

You had me drilling the tyre;-)

You could lower the Land Rover suspension a bit and I wonder whether you can move the rear axle rearward? It looks to be 50-75mm off the centre line of the astin, rear wheel arch?

This was a nice video to wake up to!

great to see this passion, keep up!

Great progress, I do like the stitching on the front wing, I'd leave it

I can't wait to see the new big wheels and rims. They will make or break the project. I hope they have the proportions of Fat Bastard's butt cheeks, because they have to draw the eyes away from the little things not sorted yet. Great going, mate!

Love this, it will look so brutal when its done!

Slowly but Surely getting there. Front looks good and with the Bumper will look really good. Just a shame that the Rear doesn't quite line up. I guess once you get your Big Wheels on, get it lowered you might be Able to adjust the Arches to suit!

Id just move the rear axle mounts while carrying out the repairs to the chassis and say nothing. Sure they were rotten and needed replacing didnt they 😉

Can't you change the length of the link arms or something to get a different wheelbase?

Loving it...

Progress 👍Looking good. Ralph likes the concept, but it looks like he has some apprehension about the first drive😂.

Im geting some strong Mad Max vibes from this build lol.

Good luck!

I think you're doing a great job! Build it to what you like. Enjoy the hobby.

You could use the bit of the chassis sticking out the back to mount a frame to hold fuel/spare tyre etc, that would look baller

I'm getting the feeling of 'more than you can chew" & "square peg in round hole vibes....Ralf knows what I mean....but I'm still going to stick around to see where this goes.

A bri'ish Monster Truck

Looking a lot more integrated now! Bigger rims will fill up the arches and i'm so glad you chopped that front guard, too! As you know, sometimes it can take all day just making a bracket, so progress might appear slow, but the journey of a thousand miles... etc. Nice that you've still got the weather for outdoor jiggling and light...!

Ahhhh Ralph-erino is a good crime partner

Very cool project. Great to see you have a sponsor. There should be enough totalled Aston Martins around (or being totalled while you work on the project) to ensure a parts supply. I wonder if there is sort of portal axle way to get the wheels further to the back – or the entire axle can be moved which would be the most straightforward. Best of success anyway 🥂

As an Aston fan, especially the 2005-15 Vantage generation, this is horrifying and pure tragedy! But I'm loving the build and the progess :D If it's the only way to save an Aston body and frame then please carrying on your mad build! I hope it's gonna be called "The Astonishing" in reference to The Grand Tour's Excellent you mentionned.

Are you going to do anything to the engine to make it perform more like the Aston. Really enjoy this project

Mount(build) a longer A-frame, longer trailing arms (you can just buy those) and build 2 plates to relocate the springs over the rear axle as after all i would imagine you are not going to trial it anyways and the aston body is obviously lighter. You should be fine

Absolutely ludicrous build, been very much enjoying it!

Just push the toe backwards in the rear a little. Maybe 😅

Absolutely loving this build! You have inspired me to get my own channel going. Can't wait to see the next step

This lad is good..
And I love is videos..
Hello needs some sponsorship...
Please sponsor him..
Give the lad some parts and money..🎉🎉

I'm going to try and get you what you need kiddo.

Content quality is already enough for 1M subs. Hopefully soon mate

I'll have whatever Isaac is having for breakfast 😂

Thanks!

Moving the body back was definitely the right choice, it'll be easier to modify the rear arches. Sounds like you got over a mayor hurdle.

You can move the axle locations forward or back without having to cut the chassis. It might affect articulation of the axles but I don't imagine the primary purpose of this conversion is to take it rock climbing.

Great to see progress and Issac. Seeing him again reminded me about the Aston you braced up. Is that still in play? Cheers Al

if you do right ... dvsa would not notice few inch extension on your chassis !

Just address what you said at the start is correct chassis. Being that you are essentially can on chassis build it perfectly for you lengthen the body as you stagger the joining point. What most people do I replaced the sills and chassis rail with box , stagger the cut joint by putting a foot wide panel in the floor pan Either side of tunnel. And 300mm x 1.75mm sleeve plate on the underside of the tunnel joint

Mate this build is abso-freaking-lutely LEGENDARY!

And Isaac is a very welcome addition to the channel. Keep it up mate!

Such a refreshing build. Not another ls swap...
A suggestion regarding centering of the wheels in the wheel wells.
You can just lengthen the radius arms and driveshaft by the amount needed to center in the wheel arch.
You can do it to either of the axles or both. Maybe it is legal at your part of the world

i love you

I feel like thevlast couple times someone said Isaac in a video I watched, they said it weird like "EYE-zach"

Large improvement over last episode

Is there a bolt on solution that moves the rear axle back 100mm?

Get those lowering springs on as it will raise the hub height up towards the body. I’m liking the look so far! 😎👍🏻

Looking good, looking forward to the next instalment :)

You can modify the chassis any way you want as you'll have to blast and repair it anyways. Do it properly and nobody will ever be the wiser, it's not like the'll measure it anyways. It just gotta look factory.

Isaac looks like British CG5 😂

It's good to see two young blokes enjoying the creative process of a car build without fear Respect
