Here u can't get any factory galvanised chasis for LR, my options are only these :-

1- repair the chasis by welding, add steel plate, wire brush it and send for hot dip galvanising (maybe about RM$2.00 per kilo, probably 30pence/kilo).

You'll find plenty of articles on replacing rear crossmember, stengthening chassis, chassis repairs, outriggers etc that should help you.

What welds are you talking about? I'm no expert but lifting off the body is a bolt off job.

Steve, thanxs a lot for the link, great help, now need to look for the related subjects.

Normally welding with electrode using diesel driven welding set, or the one using wire/coil, MIG i think. Me no expert as well, but my welder is.

All the bolts and brackets are probablly rusted and bent, maybe need to grind it off or oxy-cut.

SteveG:
there's an index at the top of section that should help

Have fun

Steve
