Unfortunately some vigorous towing resulted in this....

Oh Bugger!!!
Therefore the bullet has finally been bitten.....The plan is for
a rebuild on a fully galv chassis with a TDI
replacement.....Hope to complete over the summer.....but then
the best laid plans and all that!

When you scrap the chassis keep the dumb iron with the chassis
number on it. lso see if you can get Richards to stamp your
chassis number on the new chassis (they will only do it once you
have paid in full and proved that it is your chassis number by
showiing the V5 in your name.

It'll be great when it's done bud. A lot of work but worth it.
The bulkhead looks pretty good.
Power to you son. wdesmle

When I ordered the new chassis for wsl, I asked Richards to put
the number plate onto the chassis.
Paid for it on delivery.
Good luck on the rebuild.
From wsl's new chassis arriving,it was 4 days until back on the
road.

Apparently having caught a cold by stamping a chassis before
getting the final payment and then the customer changing his
mind leaving them with an unsaleable chassis they now require
full payment before any personalisation.

Good luck dude, its good to have somewhere undercover, its not
nice when its cold and wet. Take your time and make the best job
you can then you know it wont need do doing again at a later
date.

Good luck, looks great so will be even better when it's rebuilt!
If only Land Rover had galvanised them from new, how many more
would have survived!

Nice! remember to take lots of pictures / make notes as you take
it apart... I forgot how most of mine went together ::)

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. Great idea on having
the chassis stamped. Will make sure thats done. Good idea on
adding the number plate.
The camera is full of pick. I have also tried to bag up all the
nuts bolts washers etc that relate to each bit I take off. I
think the old girl has been rebuild in the past at some point
and the PO has put her together with a mish mash of bolts of
various sizes.
Just forward planning to the day I re-assemble.......would
anyone recommend using all stainless nuts and bolts? If not what
would you recommend? I dont ever intend taking her apart again
but it has got to be easier than tackling all those rusted
bastards with overly long threads.
Bulkhead is solid enough....thinking of doing an Ashtree
galvanised job on it. Many pennies to save however.
Will post more picks as work progresses.

Would not advise using stainless hardware - it does not play
well when in contact with aluminium. Corrosion is not your
friend. Grade 8 bolts where you need them, grade 5 where you
don't. Good luck with the rebuild!
