Yes, I'd seen that. The rest of the chassis looks in good nick for it's age. Franklin Steel, in Blaydon, I've found good for galvanising.
Looking for Project Defender

Yes, they supply steel, but I've never bought any from them, so no idea of their prices. Worth a try though.
They don't galv at that factory. Every Tuesday they send a wagon up to a place in Scotland and it comes back on a Thursday. Prices were reasonable though.

No, they don't blast. There was a £25 minimum charge, but not sure of their rate per Kg. I just took a load of bits and the guy just quoted me a price, which was very acceptable at the time. Sorry, you'll have to give them a bell.

What north east are you in.
Looks like a nice project, gumtree has a lot of land rover parts at the moment.
If you scan the little box below where the little bit of paper is on the v5 you can get the full reg number.
That is in the last picture, I bet the owner never knew you could do that, need a bigger bit of paper next time.
Last mot expired mid 2011.
White 87 110, 140k miles.
It may be a proper county station wagon and they have a big price tag when finished.
Chassis looks good but not sure the tape is strong enough to hold the rear crossmember.
Looks like you have got good value for your money, hopefully paintwork will be good enough to leave it factory original.
Well done on your purchase.
