hi all i have just obtained a series 111 88" petrol all the outriggers and chassis from the bulkhead to the rear is rotted its stood in a field for 2yrs my question is is there a limit to how much you can weld im a welder by trade so welding it all up isnt a problem for me and i think changing the chassis loses the landy its originality plus im looking forward to the challenge plus is there a sequence to remove the body tub and other panels thanks paul

Nah yer can weld patche on patches if yer want.
Sequence for stripping her off. Is same as a woman get her top off first. then start on the bottom half start at the back and work yer way round ta the front. Be gentle though and use plenty of lube on her

Ish wot am ere for ta bring some lafter into the world
I thought it were to remove anything valuable and recycle it (mainly through ebay or the scrappers)
Oh Well Stripped Her To The Chassis And Its As I Expected Miners Would Get Lost In The Amount Of Holes Or Lack Of Chassis There Is Budget Doesnt Allow For A New Chassis So I Must Repair This 1 Its Gone From The Middle Crossmember Through To The Back Even The Rear Member Has Dissintergrated The Rear Spring Hangers Are Floating On Thin Air Theres No Metal Or Rust There So Any Advice On Metal Thickness Or Photos Of Chassis So I Can Get A Better Picture Of How Parts Look Would Be Appreciated Thankyou

You can buy a rear half chassis and that sounds like the best option for you.
I think Paddocks charge around £150 for a SWB series rear half.

Hi Thanks For The Quick Reply Sadly I Have Looked At These Half Chassis And Yes I Would Love 1 But The Good Lady Indoors Is Allready Bending My Ear For Buying A Rust Bucket As She Calls It But Sadly I Let My Heart Rule My Head And The Rest Is History I Have A Mig Welder And Im Not Bothered Aboat Rebuilding The Chassis As By Trade Im A Welder But Some Pics Of How The Chassis Should Look Would Be Nice If Anyone Could Post Some And Yes I Have The Chassis Technicle Diagrams To Show Where Holes Etc Should Be

The defender factory manual has diagrams/drawings with dimensions I think. Dunno if the series one is the same. Good luck sounds like you;re gonna need it.

try ebay, yer can get a seires rolling chassis for next ter nowt. it might not be perfect but it sounds like it might be better than what you have
Yep But What Can You Do When Its A Labour Of Love Plus A Really Upset Mrs But For Some Saditstic Reason I Have Allways Wanted 1 Of The Series 3 For Many Years So When The Price Was Right I Jumped In Well The Mrs Did She Brought It For Me But Know Shes Seen How Bad It Is Its All My Fault I Guess The Landy Lying In A Field For The Past Couple Of Years Hasnt Helped The Chassis 1 Bit Or The Bolts Which So Far I Have Had To Grind Off Because They Are Rusted Solid Or The Wiring Loom Which I Have Found Out Is Totally Burnt Out Inside The Chassis No Wounder The Rear Lights Didnt Work Oh Well Im Getting Sentimentle Know So Its Time To Have A Drink And Daydream

As far as I know the civilian is the same as the military - apart from the military having an extra outrigger for the extra tank.
