So ive been putting some serious consideration into buying this Defender (see post below 'possible purchase') and have been looking at the logistics with welding it.
I will be stripping all of the body off bar the cab so i will have easy access to most of the problem areas and i have someone to show me how to weld.
The rear xmember will be taken off anyway so it wont be a problem, however the ammount of rust around it and under the outriggers scares me. is it likely to be totally rotten? Also, having looked through posts, ive come to the conclusion that 3mm steel is the right stuff to use to patch with?
So, is it savable or should i avoid it??
