You can get one now, but 3 bags! ht...

Re: What did you do today?

Welcome back John, that's bloody impressive rot, even for a LR Dunno about that. I have some fairly impressive* photos from a TD5 I was asked to repair. At least Johns has a proper chassis.

Re: What did you do today?

Wow, I thought you had done that weldathon once already on the rear chassis, I must be getting confused in my old age! Nope, you're not getting confused - I plated the rear chassis sections around the fuel tank in 3 mm steel back in 2018 (and those bits are still good). But Disco 2 chassis are utte...
