Hi guy

Resantly purchased a 1990 defender 90, started stripping it right back to see what shapes she's in but looks as if a new chassis might have to be on the cards,
Haven't striped the front yet from the bulk head foward but any ideas on the best place to start searching for a new galv chassis many thanks I'm in Somerset

The most common supplier seems to be Richards Chassis, have a look at their website. A new one won't be cheap so I hope you didn't pay a lot for your Defender. Re-chassising a landy is a big job, you need a fair bit of room. During the strip down you will probably find a fair few other things needing to be refurbished or replaced so allow for that in your budget. There are a small number of companies that will fit the new chassis for you but again it costs lots of money. Good luck and keep us informed of your progress.

Hi and Welcome to the looneyzone.

Marsland and Richards seem to be the usual suspects.

@flatlander and @aaronmorris may have a thought or two.

Cheers

I had a Richards chassis, largely because Marsland were so busy they weren't even picking up the phone. The Richards seems fine, everything fitted and, as I gave it two coats of Corroless, it should see me out.
I couldn't fit the chassis myself for various reasons, and had it done by a good local small garage. I suggest joining one of the local Land Rover owners clubs and asking around - someone will be able to recommend a good garage. It is quite possible to do it yourself, as long as you have space and either lifting gear or a handy rugby team to do the lifting.

Oh, and welcome! Hope you find the site as useful and interesting as I have - made a couple of friends through it as well.

Hello and welcome

Thank you for your advice guys I've done my research into a Richards chassis and think I'm going to go down that route but a break has one I can look at
and get it shot blasted and sprayed 1st
