galvanised chassis

to have you're land rover 90 defender chassis galvanised £300+vat, you have to remove all paint you're self. holme wood ind est J29 M1. can any one do better than that?

Proberbly not but not much point galvanising an old chassis, it will just rot on the inside anyway

I thought the galvanise would go in side the chassis as well? shame they didn't galvanise them when they built them.

Yes, it'll cover all the inside too and prolong the life as it'll act as a sacrificial anode (attract the rusting process first). Secondhand galv chassis come up quite often around the 700 quid mark which are basically as good as new so might be better value if you can afford it, I wouldn't bother galving a chassis which was all patches, which must be most original ones by now.

Before galving an old one I'd chop the fronts off the dumbirons and up-end the whole thing and whack it all over so all the existing rust flakes and crap comes out, about half a buckets worth usually!

think i'll prime it and give it a good coat of waxoil inside and out before I rebuild it
