Can a three-month Nissan Patrol rebuild really take a year? In this episode of Gearhaus, Kalasinga and Vanilla reflect on the first year of the Nissan Patrol project, which arrived at the workshop with hopes of a quick three-month turnaround. What followed was a much bigger undertaking, from uncovering hidden rust beneath thick layers of body filler to pressure-washing years of mud out of the chassis and confronting the realities of a full, ground-up rebuild. Filmed late at night beside the stripped-down chassis, the conversation looks back at how far the Patrol project has come and what it takes to bring an old vehicle back to life.
