Whats your bulkhead like? are you looking at galvanizing that?
The bulk head is actually very good... it was one of the reasons I bought this one, I knew the chassis was shot. A little corrosion behind the door seals, but think this can be managed and either treated or cut out, but other than that bh is surprisingly good. Other than that pretty good everywhere else. Some galvanic corrosion on seat box sides and same area on tub, but again repairable / replaceable.
It’s a shame as some of the main rails are actually quiet good... then there’s bit that aren’tIt’s amazing how much rust hides under what looks like a very tidy Landy!
And after your research how do they compare with Marsland?
Good luck with the rebuild and keep me posted on progress!I am also getting ready to carry out a chassis swop on my 90, ordered my Richards chassis back in November and requested a delivery date of March giving me time to prep the chassis before I SORN the vehicle 1st April and get stuck in! Was in luck that on the day I placed my order I did a check of discount codes that might be available and sure enough I found one on their Facebook page which has effectively covered most of the delivery cost.
Don't have the luxury of a barn / workshop as per your photos (very envious) so will be doing it all on the driveway. This has the advantage of being covered by a cantilever carport however with the driveway being only single width it means that the new & old chassis will be parked in line (not side by side) making it slightly more difficult to move large / heavy items around. Hopefully my neighbour will not mind me stepping onto their driveway from time to time.
Super will take a look, so far it’s not felt to difficult. I’m fortunate to have a mechanic friend so engine etc he’s going to help with. Then repairs to body etc...Excellent! Well done on getting started.
Here's how I did mine - maybe there's something here you might find helpful.
I look forward to seeing how it goes
I have been trying to get as many as I can as it goes, but always get carried away!Looking forward to watching the progress. The rulz say lots of pictures on a rebuild thread are a must. Better if they are the right way up though!
You can never take enough pictures. Take as many as possible, from all angles, of every part, before you take it off.
