No I knew what needed doing when I bought the chassis. hence why I only paid £100 for it. forwards of the spring hangers it's pretty solid. just the arse end on the drivers side and the rear crossmember, that's rotted out. Plus I'm been OTT on the welding it's gonna have over 6mm of steel in the rear legs by the time I'm done.

Yep stick around 20years. someone will be posting on their "Barn Find" of a bargain..

I blame Minty. If she's let me sell the fooker in September when it had a full MOT. & I had some spare cash in the bank. None of this would have been necessary.

Now when I say "I'm off to the workshop" she Moans that she never see's me?? Fecking wimmin..
