I haven't even looked into it, I dont want to, the costs scare me, one day though I would love to do it, I feel I may have to reinstall me AC though...

Thats what im hoping, might tune it up a little bit whilst im there, gonne get me dremmel out and match the ports e.t.c.
Stu might have a truck now, we are selling our Shogun at work, its a LWB but its cheap and will be ideal for lanes...

Not quite race tuned, keep up with the traffic tuned maybe...
Just had a call from the engine shop, head had warped slightly so is now being skimmed, hopefully back together next week if the weathers good...

had a break in the weather so i decided to sort out me holes in me front dumb irons ready for its next mot, so i cut a bit out, then a bit more then a bit more and some more and here is where i am
so still keep finding more rot, defo could not put a winch on the front of here as it would prob rip right off, now contemplating what to do, should i just plate and weld up as best as can for mot and save up for a new chasis or not bother and take off the road and start stripping while i save up for a new chassis although little man wont be happy with that?

I would just plate the **** out of it, as long as its good enough for an MOT who cares, if your gonna re-chassis it then it only needs to do, doesn't need to be perfect...

Just plate it up for now and then buy my Disco chassis once I've had it galv'd!

I'd keep plating it till it has to be swapped. No point in taking it off the road for a little bit of rust.

Bugger! Still not the worse list to get, shouldn't be too hard to fix

Yer more of an annoyance than an issue. Not bad seemed it flew through last year as well. The old bus is serving me well.

Good job you have the steering guard, theres not much else holding the front chassis together
. Just cut back and weld up, should be fine, give it a good wash out first, weld it then spray it with a good rust converter and check the rest of the chassis.
