Tin worm infested cross member removed

The offending article after being attacked with the plasma cutter

Cheers so far to West Yorkshire's EPIC discovery rebuilder, he knows who he is...

No she is going to persuade someone to collect it for her on LZ courier service.

We need a spare that is actually on a wheel for the trip

Unless you have a better idea

still to do-
body mounts
internal welding to floor at base of rear quarters
paint
underseal
floor to refit
diesel tank to put back, inc captive nuts to remanufacture
towbar bracket to refit, inc sorting the sheared chassis bolt

edit
a good chunk of today was taken up making new hinge pins for the door, & removing the old ones.
and trying to get the door handle to work. (shut the damned thing on a trail fit, then couldn't get it back out)
and fitting the firkin door to its hinges on me own.

mine just has AT tyres on Zip has mud not sure about everyone else. It will be mainly rock not mud though

gdhaydock · Apr 15, 2014

I run Insa Turbo Saharas - but any form of AT tyre will be fine for the trip. We generally avoid lanes which need any more than an AT
