New tank and sender, now fitted

Dropped my seat box off at painters, first time I'd seen the bulkhead, WOW

Lucky you :p

Especially with a modern engine and gearbox, nothing is built to last anymore, just crammed full of electronic crap to keep emissions down which goes wrong, often, case in point, 10 plate rangerover sport belonging to my boss, 140,000 miles, 3 engines and 4 gearboxes, diesel whatever piece of...

The doors, designed to last 2 winters, maybe

I think whoever did mine thought by covering the rust it would stop it, don't no how many coats went on but even knackered the shocks, nearly all gone now on the chassis anyway, springs are new but look 20 years old as covered in it and dirt, body's sprayed up too hiding corrosion but that's...

Agreed, a nice clean or painted chassis which is kept that way is better in my eyes, the underseal/wax oil just ruined every part on mine and made a simple job a nitemare and rotted anyway, waste of time and looks dreadful, also quite flammable if your welding

Hope your chassis is better than mine, amazing how people think under seal and whatever else helps in anyway, hate the stuff, they still rot, you just can't see it.

They came out of a friends WR1, really nice seats, mint in fact, I will lose the drivers storage box unless I make another way of access and the battery box, but it's a new battery so if I need to get in its a few bolts, hey ho. They just need to be mounted around the same height as the...

I wonder if these will go in, hmmmmmm

Slow going today, welder couldn't make it so couldn't get engine mounts fitted, just doing bits and pieces, while having a look we found play in both rear wheel bearings, both previously adjusted so thought we would take them out and check them, both seals leaking so transmission fluid had...

Well most of my chassis looked like that so I'm replacing it as we speak, had no idea of the cost involved but let's say very expensive, is it the part in the middle pic? Even my chassis was repairable, anything is if done right and you no what your doing.

I'd be careful taking it out haha, if it's anything like mine I doubt I'd have got it back in, got a new cross member for £33 as mine is rotton also from the inside.

It's a brand new chassis, no previous work, not sure what company it's from but fully galvanised from new then been stored for 3 years, yes the old one isn't great but found the chassis number which is the original as is the engine number so not all bad, number will be cut out before it goes for...

Old chassis As you can see a bit of a mess, new chassis is fully galvanised but looks nicely weathered so leaving it like that, if it was fresh and shiney it would be painted but I don't think it will stand out too much.

Well it's been a stressful couple of days, don't think I realised the just how much work and money this would take, turning into a full nut and bolt rebuild, the under sealing has made every bolt impossible to take out and lost us a day at least, had to grind the lot off, now having every nut...

That's why I went for the 200 tdi, no stupid sensors, no electrics, no ecu, no egr valves, just great

You only live once, if you can afford one and maintain it correctly it will last you a lifetime, go get one, always wanted one too since leaving the forces, it's great and after the time and money I've put in I will be keeping it, so many around, parts will never run dry, they have such a...

Haha long day guys, we had missed some body bolts then had issues with the wiring loom and plenty of other things, only a few pics from body removal as by the time we had engine out it was dark so first thing tomorrow there will be more. Hopefully tomorrow is a turning point and the new chassis...

Worth £350 all day long if mint, these are hard to come by if genuinely rust free, have it blasted and galved then stick it on for £995, seen them needing work for £750
