Thread: Common areas for rust on a Series Landy?

Would anyone have a guide / reference / link to information on common rust issues/areas on Series Landies?

Being an RRC owner I'm sure they are probably similar (what could possibly change, except for the amount of rust, right? )

But as a general guide, I'm just looking for info on the common areas.

It may be apparent that I will be looking for a 109 ute, or possibly hardtop/station wagon (in that order)

This is part of my investigating the viability of a series body on rrc chassis.

I'm also looking at 110/perentie as an option but cost is prohibitive for the project at this stage. All I 'need' is a body. Not a whole vehicle. (part of the issue is requirement to purchase a complete vehicle as it seems noone has a bodyshell or rolling chassis available at the moment)

Feel free to add comment on the rust areas etc. I have separate topics covering the proposed mods elsewhere, so would appreciate just discussing rust areas on this thread.

Thanks in advance

Mine had gone round australia a few times before I got it 3 years ago. And never cleaned properly as most were
I found a massive build up of sand on top of the fuel tank under the seat which corroded a hole into the tank, and same with the other underseat tank. All the mounts and protective panels were rusted away also.
My whole chassis was full of red sand. Get into with a pressure washer, I was lucky only chassis rust was in rear crossmember.
In between the windscreen and bulkhead can collect water also and rust over time.

Doors frames rust out very common as said.

It all depends on how hard your gonna look when you buy it.
Lift out the seats if you can and open the hatches underneath to get a good view. Lift up floor mats etc
You can get replacement chassis and bulkhead components fairly cheap if your going down that path. There's 2 on gumtree that look promising posted within the week (vic)
