1991 200tdi 87000 miles, very very clean, small bit of work on the chassis needs doing, but nothing major. More pics to come

Looks good.

Very nice!

-Defender110- · Mar 4, 2012

Some more photos of the insides, and the very worst of the rust and bits needing replacement, new door hinges and a few small patches and shes as good as new

-Defender110- · Mar 4, 2012

And some of the outside, some of ye might recognise the full length intercooler up front, that was a nice surprise

-Defender110- · Mar 4, 2012

Power sprayed the chassis and body today to get a look at the work that needs doing, not too bad, chassis didn't show up any more bad spots than i am already aware of, time to get the small few problems done now

Looks good. Door bottoms are easy enough to fix

-Defender110- · Mar 4, 2012

hopefully not, all in all, the rest of them are not too bad but i'll be respraying the whole lot so might as well do the work on them while the are off. Pricing up hinge and s/s bolts as we speak too

Looks bang on!

Thoughts on the chassis rust? best plan of action?? im considering biting the bullet and getting a new rear x/member?

Yeah, looking at the pictures, you would probably want to consider a new rear 1/4 chassis instead of just the crossmember. It could be patched but looking at the state of it, you would probably end up requiring more repairs in the near future

-Defender110- · Mar 4, 2012

yeah makes sense. im not planning on getting rid of it any time soon so might as well do it right. would i be right in thinking theres someone on here who fabs them?? as regards the spring seat area, a patch will probably do there will it?

Don't know of anybody on here off the top of my head but it wouldn't surprise me.

And yeah, looks like that bit could be patched fairly easily. What condition are the spring hangers themselves in?

@Pressbrake

Haha, figured that out

give me a week or two, want to get it registered as commercial before i do any work on it

-Defender110- · Mar 5, 2012

Actually, would i be right in thinking they are made from 6mm pressbrake?

Yes so they are strong enough to be a open channel design like a truck chassis therefore they dont collect muck and funnel it into the chassis.
Also bolting on stuff is easier

-Defender110- · Mar 5, 2012

Thats great, i will look into this and a front winch bumper soon, might made up some 3d models over the weekend to see what i can come up with.

-Defender110- · Mar 5, 2012
