It is but it's better for someone to get them on the road again, rather than just being in a shed doing nothing
Don't let the work needed on your dad's 90 get to much you must keep on top of it Clayton.

yeah, he is trying to find out what is the best chassis to go for, its also looking at a replacement bulkhead. Its getting very scabby and holes have started appear near the bottom of the door.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

So earlier this year i managed to get another bonnet for Millie, not mint condition but in good condition and the original right colour for her, fitted
Click image to enlarge The blue bonnet needs some holes filled as when i bought her many years ago she had the fittings for a spare wheel to be mounted, bonnet off Millie and the checker plate off as well Click image to enlarge Holes that need to be filled in which at the moment let water in the engine bay, luckily i have a very good metal man that will do all this for me Click image to enlarge On the under side the original colour Click image to enlarge there is just one bit of rust that needs attention which he will do Click image to enlarge so i'm just waiting for a call to say it's all done Clayton.

If my memory serves me well, where you see the rusting through the frame, there is a stiffener plate spot welded inside the frame. I think can just see the spot welds in your pictures.
Its kind of classical LandRover engineering, with built in moisture traps  I guess it makes for cheaper tooling as there are other ways to increase stiffness.
PS. It is very easy to remove the bonnet skin from the frame 
Galvanizing the frame will make it last for a very long time, but understand it may be uneconomical in the UK… given the cheap prices of 2nd hand parts and expensive hot dipping charge!! Ahh, and when I re glued the skin to the frame it really transformed the feel of the bonnet. I had forgotten that it could be rattleless 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

How come you are getting the original bonnet refurb'd Clay? The replacement looks decent... or am I missing something?
