chassis - change or not?
Keri:
Looks like my old chassis that :lol:
Were rebuilding it atm on the drive new galv chassis, bulkhead, suspension, nuts and bolts and anything else it needs on the way and i can defo say if your doing it yourself you have way way WAY over budgeted at 5k :shock: and belive me i havn't skimped in any area.... Iv gone through the whole thing buying exactly what i want. I couldn't give you a price because im not money watching im just giving her what she needs, but i can say its nowhere near 5k
Mines 110 to btw
Im also doing a new paintjob and new seats and everything else and it still wont be near 5k

thanks for that but putting a nut in a monkeys mouth is about all I could do :D :D
it will have to be my local garage that does it and my price was including funds for anything else they were to find.
glad someone else thinks the chassis is gubbed :cry: :cry: :cry:
is it normal for a nine year old chassis to be this bad?
price is to include a winch and bumper and suspension upgrades etc
muck_truck:
a 1998 with a chassis like that ?? suppose its 9 years old but looks very bad for one that age. has it been parked in a mud bath every night ?
Mines 16 years old and the cross member has just started to rot, it passed a MOT the other week tho.

It all depends if the chassis has ever been treated, I.E Waxoil.
Also what has it been used for?
When i was a coastguard, we has a couple of Defenders. They were 5 years old with 30 000mls on the clock. But i wouldnt even have bought one, as they had been by the sea all their life. Like seives all over.

Well mines 13 years old so you beat me there :shock:
I know that liveridge wanted about £3500 i think it was to do the work and provide a galv chassis, fit and supply a bog standard 2" lift, fit and supply a clutch and there were a few other things to and they said it would take them a week.........
