my 110 has bad rust problems and i need some advice,
the other day i was jacking the rear drivers side when the bumper started to crumble :'( i need to know if it is possible to replace this or do i need to start looking for a new chassis, the chassis i perfect no rust and is very clean just the rear :?

When you say bumper - do you mean the rear crossmember, the black/rusty coloured lump of steel that runs the full width of the rear of the vehicle ?

If it is, then the simple answer is yes - you can get a new one, it's not a bolt on job, the old one needs cutting off, and the new one needs to be properly welded on.

You can repair the crossmember if it's not too bad, but judging from what you say - it needs replacing.
What you are letting yourself in for :)
