What ever trips your trigger
Should i do this before or after?
The chassis won't come painted from marsland. I've been looking into painting my galv chassis and was told that powder coating would be the most durable solution, but it would be expensive to do. You'll have to ask about the towbar, A marsland chassis Is pretty much a tdci chassis but with the correct fittings for the model
so should i buy a td5 tow bar?
It's like Mechanno Galv chassis is £1045, brake pipes and suspension bushes probably aren't that much so your looking at around £1400 labour I would say. Though as others have said there are at least a few years left in your chassis if you take it to someone who has the skills to patch it up.
One of the MOD disposal places had some new never used chassis for sale at 450 each............places buy them and get them galvanized is about 400 or so.
New chassis , brake pipes , suspension bushes as reqd and Labour £2595.00
Is this a good price?
Update
Car is getting ready for swap! Will post pictures..
Do i have to inform the DVLA of the new chassis? Does it mean the car is now a 13 plate? As what defines a cars age... the chassis?
