1998 Defender 90 300 Tdi SW Barolo Black

Defender 90 from the Netherlands. "walt"

Hello,

I have been reading a lot of topics here and decided to start one for myself.

I'm Jolt, 27 from the Netherlands.
I have a 98 300TDI 90 station wagon (registered in 99)
It was the cheapest running one with MOT i could find 2 years ago.

Unfortunately i failed the MOT last wednesday, primarily due to rust at the rear of the chassis

I'm planning to do a chassis swap with a new galvanized chassis.

But enough talking from me, i know you guys enjoy pictures.

When I picked up walter almost 2 years ago:

Looks tidy.

I did the rear on my 200tdi many moons ago, but then went for the full chassis swap.

it's not tidy at all, it just looks decent from far away

i thought about doing a rear half swap but I think it will be a full chassis swap.
I think it's gonna be faster and it will never rust again.

Welcome to the forum and introducing Walter

I to had to make that decision with Millie my 110 and in the end i went for a full chassis swap, better in the long run and i was very glad i did as the top of the chassis you can't see very well was totally gone

Look forward to seeing the progress you do on Walter
