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.................

That's the plan, twenty quid a week seems easier on the pocket than eighty quid once a month and should if I didn't keep spending it give me a grand a year. IF I didn't keep spending it

If you do get a smaller welder ( up to 150 ), then do not get the really big reels of wire, as I have found the cheaper welding rigs cannot handle them too well.

Get the medium size which does not make a big difference to cost and use them, it makes a big difference to the feed you get.

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.......

Keep her Mate!
