A very sad day indeed...

I hope this means that when you do come to replace the chassis it is not as painful............Fingers crossed.

But then again we own landies.................

My 300tdi Defender 90 (daily driver) just became a project.
She failed her MOT with a few minor things and one major thing.
The dreaded chassis rot.
I don't have any garage space or facilities.
I don't have the money to pay for someone to rebuild her on a Galv chassis.
I can't believe how emotional I feel at the prospect of having to sell her off cheaply for someone else to rebuild her.
I do have parents with a decent amount of hard standing at the side of their house (although I live about 10 miles from them).
So I have spent all day pacing and deliberating and I have decided that I cannot let her go.
I'm going to park her at my parents, strip her down to a running chassis and decide whether to buy a welder or a chassis.
Photos to follow - It won't be a quick rebuild (I have absolutely no experience) and it won't have a lot of money lavished on it either. It will mean that I get to keep her.......
