Haha good to hear and yeah right I see

Haha okay I will make sure to take them as I go along then, just be open minded with my welding i will be going for a rustic, function before form approach ;)

Oh okay, sounds good I'll have a look over there too, and haha that would have been a good laugh, but at least you will escape the county wide power surge when I get my wires crossed . I'll try remeber to take some photos as I'm going along too as I havent found any of someone fitting one of...

Okay cheers for that I'll certainly look at ordering the cross member and I'll see what i can fabricate in the way of a sill, if half of dorset goes up in smoke and loses power in the next week or so you will know ive done something wrong with the welder

Okay yeah, cheers This vehichle has actually been the reason I bought myself a little mig welder, I was going to attempt it myself, and try save on the costs of having multiple parts welded up, but yeah I'm a little concerned about it spreading. The sills look relatively simple to replace and...

Okay thanks, I'll look into getting that done asap. Out of interest what would be likely to happen if it doesnt get done, would that create a weakpoint or be likely to crack the casting/ break something?

Hi, thanks for the welcome and haha thats a reliefe thanks for the prompt replies, my other question is, are all those blank holes around the diameter of that casing meant to have bolts in them or is that normal to have them without? Thanks again!

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and am also a 1st time landy owner. I have recently bought a 1988, 200 tdi converted Defender 110 which i am currently doing a bit of work on to try and get though mot as it has been sat idle for 18 months. It has a newish chassis so no rust there but I am going to...
