    been a busy morning, managed to remove the existing cross member and towbar, I think the towbar is all that was holding it together.
    the second photo is the replacement cross member sections from the uk in position to work out how much chassis rail will need to be replaced

    Nice progress. There really was a lot of rust there. . Once you get the chassis sorted, you know you will have a great vehicle for years to come. The engine of that unit certainly ran sweet when I had a look at it, so hopefully you'll have done all the hard work when the chassis is sorted.

    I think the chassis is going to be the easy part to sort, just the patience to get it right.
    Being an electrician, I think trying to sort out the wiring is going to be the biggest nightmare, I am seriously considering that the easies route will be to start again, somewhere along its life, there has been at least 4 fires in the wiring loom and replacement sections.
    There were circuits going to lights front, back, top and bottom all of which were not fuse protected!
    I've already done a landy fire truck from scratch, including a few non standard items, this should be a hell of a lot easier!

    So when did a little electrical fire slow you down Mark?

    Hardly a challenge for you, remember, I know how skilled you are.
    Wait till the BOC operator starts running for the exit!!

    Ha ha - I'm a Sparky too, and one of the first jobs I did was rewire the whole thing.. It's got 8 fuses now, as well as 6 relays, and they are easy to get to. Well worth the effort.
