Mr Clivees, Could you please explain the axle strap bit, does it go between the floor and the floor supports or between the floor supports and the Chassis?

It is the alloy floor that is gone and it had been layed over and too that has rotten :suspicious: . So I was thinking checker plate 2mm as I am going to be carry kit bags in the tub :D But I was not sure if it is strong enough ever with the ribs and cross members? And you can buy them on...

Hello, I would like some ideas on what I could use to replace the Floor on by SIII 88" as mine is rotten :eek: and is soon to be folded into beer cans :p Thanks, Matt.

I, got that. So lots of wire-brushing for me over the next few day :):rolleyes::eek::biggrin1:

So does the acid etch stop further rot like say KURUST does on steel? And do you have to remove all the white stuff? Yours, Matt.

Hello Peeps, I have got my SIII 88 in bits (little bits and a chassis :doh:) And I am fixing up various parts like the tub and firewall, before the reassembly stage :). There is white corrosion stuff :confused: on some parts of the panels mainly where nuts bolts and screws have gone though...

Dear All, I am in Lincoln, rebuilding a 1976 SIII 88 :D but I have come up against a problem to big for myself to deal with alone :(. I need to fix the Bulkhead (pillars and foot wells):doh:. So the question is can anyone in Lincoln (Lincoln City is wear I am based) help me (not for free) or...

Hi Sirus, I have sent you a PM about the cat flap if you are selling. Yours, Matt.

Hello peeps, I started to dismantle my SIII 88' today (06-06-2010) and whilst looking at the Haynes manual (go on laugh you know you want to) I saw that there is rear lid assembly to go with a tail gate when using a hard top. So to the point: Does anyone of you lovely people have one they want...

OK May be the words Sound Proofing have way lay-ed my meaning. I am only looking to reduce noise not eliminate it. So any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello again, I am looking to soundproof my SIII when I have finished my rebuild and was going to use SA25 and SA12 from: Prices for soundproofing materials. I was looking for advice on where to put it i.e. in the bulkhead etc. And I was wondering what you have covered yours in when put in...

Hi all, Just to let you know I went with Marsland in the end. Thanks to all those who contributed. Matt.

I just have to say starting up my SIII 88" feels like an Adventure :D I love it though (the SIII/adventure that is) :):):D:):)

I have a concrete drive and when I get oil on it I just get out the power washer and hose it down let it dry then go over it again, best dun when you have a couple of sunny days in a row. Hope this helps. Matt.

Dear Big Matt, I spent £450 for my SIII (plus travel to the South and diesel back to the North) The other day I spent a G on a new galvanised chassis. I will probably spend the best part of another G by the end of June. But it will be all worth it as I am doing the work myself so the...
