New galv chassis, this was a couple of years previous at old house, notice the heavy duty springs I put on, they were far too stiff for me so were replaced with new standard items on the rebuild.

Strip down begins, notice doors are shot, replaced with two brand new take offs from a defender heading to a Russian mine.
Fitted nearly new rear tub and rear door in santorini black hence the final colour, brand new OEM front wings and bonnet. Bulkhead is perfect apart from foot wells which I replaced with stainless steel. ![]() Click image to enlarge |
