Wow she’s a tidy looking motor! Very nice. Has she been lifted? I want those bull bars, if you sell em! (Obviously I doubt that but some don’t like em so never know. Don’t ask, don’t get :D) Rear work light and Led light bar - I would love to know what you bought, and some pics (fitted...

Brilliant thanks very much Dave

Thanks Dave. If you have a pic handy I'd love to see one. I need to make something similar and never done it. / PS how long do you make your hose to get down inside chassis members?

I believe there is some acidity to it due to the bi-products, so guessing that's where the idea of corrosiveness comes in

P.S. Do yoy spray waxoyl or brush it on?

Link please!

Dave, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I am in bottom tip of Cornwall and I think here, and where you are, are probably the worst places on earth to run a car unless you're fond of rust! We have salt blowing across daily. Sea spray goes up and the prevailing (strong) SW winds bring it right over...

I didn't think people used Waxoyl any more! I have a can here of black, never opened it as I heard it either doesn't work, or can actually make matters worse. Interested in your thoughts? (PS I also bought some Bilt Hamber Dynax UB

Sorry what do you mean by "a quick conversion"? They are all over well over 2k that I can see, but still that's a grand cheaper than I have seen elsewhere. I will check them out thanks. I know of some brands which my friend has fitted before and found them to be out, I want it bang on and if...

That would be great if you wouldn't mind. That link doesn't work thanks very much

I didn't understand the first line at all. Are you saying welding downhill is not as strong as uphill? The pic was handy, I didn't know what you meant about the "corners" but I do now! Not sure if my one comes like that or full box section without slits along corners.

Ha, that's pretty much what we discussed. When I thought it would be two butted ends, an internal plate both sides or a box section to slot inside was the plan. But now i know the chassis comes with flared ends (its bigger box than original) so it slots over and overlaps around 5-6 inches which...

Thanks Lynall. Well I have spent a week welding up a very old trailer, replacing some crap metal with slightly better spare bits I had lying around. It's not complete pigeon ****. I have a new Lincoln Bester inverter welder (mig, tig or arc, i'd use mig for this) and it works bloody well, makes...

Gotcha, yes we specifically looked for one that could get past that as wasn't much point spending so much time/money without going past there. Also hoped it would be easier to weld on the straight further forward, although still not sure how easy the welding will be!

My chassis is worse than yours was? Yes it's deterioriated fast here, scary fast. Not sure what an ARB pipe is, but yes I want this longer one to get past that cross-member and well past any scaliness/rust

That's exactly the plan. The problem is that last bit! The only GOOD mobile welder round these parrrrts is no longer available. I didn't know it was poisonous! I did a lot of welding to get my old trailer fixed up recently, ground off the galv and welded. Maybe that's why I was seeing dragons...

The galvanising option adds £168 to the price of that linked chassis above, the price quoted is the chassis without galvanising. I have to believe my friend who's been doing up landies mainly but discos too for many years, was a landy mechanic at one time. He isn't a God, but he's the best I...

Ha ha ha, my thinking pretty much exactly. D3 have their own "nuances" as you say, and I just love the D2s, always have. My chassis isn't "fukked", not like my last one which was totally rotted out. It's been lovely all it's life, but then I brought it to the seaside (with zero coatings...

I got a great body don't you worry bout that! :D She's good, very clean underside of body, but will take the opportunity to squirt something on her if go ahead with chassis

There's an option for the galvanised finish. It's about 3-4 times the work to do full chassis, plus over 2 grand more. I would love to do full chassis and would if i could afford it. The way I see it, if this costs me 2k all in, it would most likely add that to value (near enough, I have seen...
