Hi guys
Had a good look at the chassis the other day and although i know its had a new front dumb iron and a couple of other small patches welded in in the past and i know there is welding to be done behind the removable X member on the chassis rail i have also found either what looks like a crack or its where the o/s bulkhead outrigger joins the chassis and there is an airline gap that looks like a crack between the outrigger and chassis don't know yet till i go prodding so will have to get these done before the M.O.T. is due next year.
anyway got looking on the paddocks site yesterday and looked at the marsland galv chassis and noticed the price has dropped from just under £1.500-£1.150 + vat for a 2.5td/200tdi one so me and son have decided to go half's on buying one aswell as doing the swap over plus anything else that will need doing either before the chassis swap or during the chassis swap but as i don't do loan's or credit cards we will be saving up for it so will probable buy the chassis late next year but in the mean time plan on doing a 2" lift kit on it, re-furbing the axles, and some other jobs on the landy whilst saving up for the chassis so once we get it it will be more or less a straight swap over obviously we could find problems once we start removing the body work and stuff which we expect but hopefully there won't but if there is it will be done.
so from this next pay day me and son will start saving for the new chassis aswell as prepping the 90 till we get the chassis
