Spare 100inch chassis. What to do?

Hi all!

As of this weekend i will have a spare 100inch chassis from my disco as ill have another one to plonk the body onto.
Scrapping it seems like a waste to me as there isnt much wrong with it so im gonna keep it (mainly because i will want another project when my disco is finished) and i want to do so somthing with it. But what?

Any ideas?

100" Defender. The vehicle Land Rover should always have built

yeah baby

The chassis on my donor disco is solid too, you have got me thinking about my next project...........

Then i thought about a trialer of some kind.

Whatever happens id want a v8 of some kind.

Any more ideas?

That's only because you cant get a V8 to work.

Thats number 2 in my "what to do with a spare 100' chassis" book.

whats the costs for galvanising? I've laid my hands on a chassis thats pretty solid and have the v5 - was going to enquire as to what a ball park figure for galvanising would be? Doesn't seem to be anywhere locally to me that can advise

best bet is to ask a local metal fab company and see if they can get it in with a big job

The advice me and MarkL were given by richards chassis is not to hot dip galvanise a chassis.

The galv will only take to the outside and the chassis and will rot from the inside out instead.

Apparently it is better to just clean, prime and hammerite an old chassis.

Will use manor chassis paint instead.
