chassis

how much can a chassis be repaired before it gets to weak ?

it depends which county the chassis is in and which county weak is in

well if yer add enough patches, you've made yerself a new one!

i guess you can just keep patchin then and it will still pass mot or not

if yer repaired it shirley the idea is to make it strong again?

If yer welding patches on the patches then it's probably time fer a new chassis

well ive just bought it and im just looking at what im tackling cos half of wires do nothing and 5 gauges dont work and chassis is badly repaired and theres s**t loads of gunk on and a few more holes to patch

I am assuming you are referring to the MOT test? Each MOT station seems to apply their own interpretation of the guidelines, my local one (which handles a large volume of farmer owned) will not pass a vehicle which has had more than 20% of the original patched or repaired, also any repair must be 'let into' and match the original profile of the chassis..............so my recent purchase of a 1980 series III with MOT from south of England will now have to be fitted with a new chassis despite previous and current MOT not containing any advisory comments, despite the appalling condition of the patching and the body-filler hanging out of the front section.Buyer beware indeed.
