Ahhh, in that case I'd repair the chassis and fit it
local welding place may do it for about £25-£35 an hour and be far better job than a garage

Need to put your location on where you live, that way peeps can see where you live. Someone might be just around the corner and never know it

do it yourself at that price methinks. I couldn't justify that
It's like Mechanno
Galv chassis is £1045, brake pipes and suspension bushes probably aren't that much so your looking at around £1400 labour I would say. Though as others have said there are at least a few years left in your chassis if you take it to someone who has the skills to patch it up.Thor1950

Make damn sure it is a richards chassis, there's is thicker than anyone else. Richards are in the 1100-1200 quid price.The others out there buy excess defender chassis and get then galvanized.
One of the MOD disposal places had some new never used chassis for sale at 450 each............places buy them and get them galvanized is about 400 or so.

pressbrake makes chassis doesn't he ?
I think I'd rather get one of his instead of a richards one or do what owl did and make a jig then make up a 5mm chassis

Genuine chassis are a LOT stronger than Richards chassis, in the high stress area the lr item is double skinned to 5.5mm
Wouldnt want a painted one thats been galved though
