I put the D2 in for Dinitrol treatment last Saturday, but having pressure washed it they have found a couple of areas of rust that need treatment before they can continue. I live near Sleaford, does anyone know of any competent welders nearby?
It needs a patch on the right rear shock mount and a plate to cover the passenger footwell where it is getting a bit thin. Otherwise it's in pretty good shape. View attachment 222553 View attachment 222554 View attachment 222554

As i'm just down the road from you who did you go for. Be handy to know in case I ever get out of my depth.

I went with the Ancaster Service Station. It is run by Alan and Chris who are ex-RAF MT engineers and know a fair bit about maintaining LRs. I dropped it off today and I'll let you know how it gets on.
I need to get myself a decent MIG welder as the two bits that need doing are pretty low technical merit and I could probably have done it myself without too much trouble. I also need to get some brackets fabricated for an awning.

Get an inverter mig, they transform the ease of welding. The latest ones work really well with gassless wire (but get a gas set so you have the option). I have to work outside and gasless is a lot more forgiving in a breeze, fine for exhausts, brakets and trailer repairs, not done chassis yet but would probably use gas for that.
