Richards chassis has finished the chassis and was delivered to my blasting company who is powdercoating it black. When it gets back home I will put a coat of POR15 on it and call it good.

Most of you might wonder why im painting it so much, PM and we can talk privately.

I just cant wait to get started on the rebuild. Hip hip horray.:)

I bought a new one from richards chassis. I heard they were one of the best for building new ones. Can't wait to see it/get it.
 
Sorry haven't been on for a bit. Recieved the chassis the other day, not to impressed with the weld job richards chassis did. Im going to have to send them a note, plus didn't receive the rear cross bar. 2 strikes. Welding job completed to me seems really lame, didn't bother to take the time to sand any of the welds down and i thought they would have. As far as the galv and everything else looks good. I should have aske to scene one of their chassis before i ordered it. But i heard nothing but good things about their company. I'm not saying he did a bad job, but I think I could have done a better job not knowing how to weld. And to me thats sad. Im going to do a little more research and see if this is if thats what the final product looks like. Thanks all who are reading this and any suggestions would be appreciated. Dont judge ordering a RC from me, just do a bit more investigation then did.
 
Hi all been restoring the Tub of my 110. Been pain, but yet rewarding. I should have pics tomorrow. I added some weight with 3mm alum underneath and 1mm on top. Had EMS cut the rear floor out for me, so save me the time of a grinder wheel. Bought a 3mm another 3mm piece and made the new floors, front 2 and rear. Only have to order the side triangle pieces from yrm. save me some money. Only spent 130. Compared to there 250 for all new floor. I will post pics tomorrow so everyone can see what im doing. Well see if it limits the noise when driving. Wont know until January when I'm all done with this rebuild.
 
Had the chassis welded and replaced both outriggers(both bad). One had a Hole on the underside of it and the other side was fine. There was pitting under the rear mounts. So just welded plates over them. Need to redrill the holes. The tank is getting a new coat of POR15. (one side at a time right now) Should be done by tomorrow. Will have the bed done tomorrow hopefully. Bought a pneumatic rivet gun. Best purchase ever. Have all the floor cut out and upgraded the rear tub to 3mm aluminum. The sides of the tub its self have received a bit of a upgrade also. Add 3mm all along the bottom and the sides to help cut down on noise. One side of the tube is 3x heavier then what they used to be. BIG TIP if your going to use Tigerseal, buy a bottle of acetone, takes TIGERSEAL off better than anything I have tried so far. Axles have been powdercoated and are waiting on some new bolts for me to put it back together. Bought all new bearings, but the old ones are in great shape so just going to reuse them. I think someone replaced them at some point in their lives. Upgrade the front brake calipers and rear, Both Terrafima discs, and vented the front. Well chat latter, need to get to bed. Ill post a pic of my mates rebuild hes doing on a 90. Looks amazing:)

cut him some slack


not everyone can be as adept at posting pics

we get the idea of what he's doing and he's making a good job of it.
that is more important than posting correctly orientated photos anyday :)
 
Sorry all apparently they turned back to the original way when I took them. LOL, and no not daft. Ill see if I can get them to change 180. So you all can quite whining.

And I do have a quick question. I bought new Rear panels from Paddocks. But for some reason there not square like the old ones anyone ever have an issue with this?

Might have to take the one I just put together off and get originals from land rover.

And thanks for the support FREELANER..
 
Front Axle problem, I replaced the upper swivel pin, and added the washer supplied by paddocks, but they don't seem to add enough gap between the housing. There are 4 shims supplied. I used one of the larger shims from the other set and now it I have the right pull on the swivel rotation. Has anyone tried to replace these, or ever had an issue with this.
