I'm going to start mine. Bulkhead needs repairing, chassis has been patched but I'm going to re-chassis and be done with it! What chassis you buying?

Thanks guys. I'm currently with Lancaster for the Defender but A plan for my kit car. I might give them a call in the morning.

What have you guys done for insurance when rebuilding your vehicles. My insurance is due mid Feb but defender coming off road in to my attached garage for full rebuild tomorrow. Any suggestions? Cheers

I've just done mine. Factor in time and money for seized bolts corroded brake hose bracket, new ball joints (mine were seized). I had to replace the brake disk mud shields also and 1 stub axle

Anyone got an XD chassis or know of anyone that has one. Just looking for recommendations as I've read a few horror stories on the other suppliers.

Cheers guys
