Hi Everyone

Not done this before so im trying to find my way around the site.
But what I would like to know from all you knowledgeable guys ow and girls, is a problem i have with my newly purchased 1974 series 3 , The bulkhead is a little corroded around the vent flaps and the only company i found who do a galvanised bulkhead want just under a £1000 so not an option but a good friend of mine is a body specialist/panel beater and sprayer if he repairs this corrosion and sand it and spray it, is this likely to come back and if so how long do you think it will last wow got there in the end
one more thing i have some parabolic springs and new shocks to fit how hard is it and anything i should no
Anyones help is very much appreciated

Many Thanks

Galvanised would be nice.........even if your mate does a real proper job your bulkhead will probably only last another 37 years or so

If you do a search there's loads of info on fitting paras and when you've worked your way through the 43 conflicting 'best methods' make up your own, do it and come and join the arguement.......
