    But in all seriousness it had a few bends in the chassis, I mistakenly let the reg run out, and it was just too hard to get an old broken half race car issued with a rwc, so I kept the drive train and sold off most of the rest.
    Thanks Fitzy,

    Mine looks so similar but it ain't related. Re reg these days................

    cheers, DL

    The design of the 110/Defender rear crossmember is pretty ordinary.

    It's another one of those things where I have to stop myself from doing to much and opening those cans with the wiggly things in them.
    I was looking at building a new one but a patch will have to do for now.
    It's the only rust in a 32 year old chassis, and was caused by build up of mud and not being washed out .

    V8 county ute


    I've clocked the tie down rails to cover the tyres.
    It's legally compliant, keeps the tray width nice and narrow and won't let the rear tyre grab on a tree when in really tight stuff

    Love the design of your tie down rails - super smart - out of the way and mini slider/wheel arch all in one. Nice work!
