CHASSIS? 2

Maer £2k, that's not so bad when you Do you think I could just patch up the chassis so as I can take me dogs to the fields which is just over a mile away from me I want to do this every other day. I will then be able to save the money to get the Maer chassis.

Think I’ve had mine about 18 years this year and I’ve had just about every part off to replace / refurb
Rear floor, front floors , a posts, front panel, windows, rear door, both axles and diffs , all springs , seat box repair, engine refurb (2) , gearbox refurb , all brakes, fuel tanks.

Surprisingly I stopped saving all the receipts and doing spreadsheet of costs years ago it think it’s worth more than what I’ve spent on it in those years!

Bear in mind it won’t be just cost of chassis it will look so good you’ll want to change other bits , but if you refurb those bits first it helps also to get all the rusty bolts off so when you come to remove items for possible chassis change they’ll come off easy and won’t need to replaced

Other think to consider is the space available to strip/ store stuff in dry if poss.

LAND ROVER SERIES II/IIA & III SWB 88" REAR HALF CHASSIS | eBay

Includes body supports and rear spring hangers.

You can also get the centre cross member for another £150.
It's only worth doing if the front end is good and there is solid metal to weld to.
You will also need to be confident in your welding abilities or get a pro to weld it up.
Just a random link of Ebay not a recommendation.

Been checking over the front chassis and it has had quite a lot of welding mainly at the very front both sides of where the leaf springs attach to. So I have taken on board what you have been saying to me about a Maer chassis! Is the Maer the only one to go for for the 2k?
