Looks very good! Did they remove the rear floor to get full access or had you already done that?

He did the rear floor, I was suppose to have removed it and the tow bar before I got there.

That's some nice neat welding there.
Who was the waxoiler? |

Don't you mean who didn't waxoil it? Can't mention his name or company as last time he got a bit upset on here, but he's suppose to be a Land Rover specialist and thinks that the corrosion could be 'plated'. The two waxoiling treatments only cost £950 so you shouldn't expect too much I suppose |

That welding is lush. Far better than the factory finish!
I thought he had stopped doing stuff on landies but its good to hear he is alive and well. Does he do a full range of rear x members or just TD5's? 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

The pictures don't do it justice, the welding isn't just better than factory, it's better than almost all of the welding I have seen. (and I see welding nearly every day). Bob you won't regret it, just get there sooner than later so there's good metal to weld to on the chassis and it doesn't need cutting back further. |
