Hi Sean,

The thanks all go to Rod, Hiya Rod! :D , if he hadn't noticed my mistake you'd be sat wondering where all the threads had gone from the screw holes in the chassis.

Hello Sean, just catching up,,,,your chassis is looking nice, how much weight did the galvanizing add,? as i didn't see too many drain holes..
almost a shame to paint over the chassis, that was a tough call to make i bet.. :!
are you keeping a time log? .

Hello Gentlemen,

Well… I didn't know about this project and I'm very impressed.
Cheer ! A great lesson in courage and perseverance.

What reassures me is that somewhere there is a group of slightly crazy guys who get there...

Well done again! :!

Regards.

Hi Sean,

Good to see it has been completed, and thanks for sharing the pic. Looks good, and I do like the colour scheme.

I didn't read it all but will later.
There was a web page, maybe 2000ish that was about some bloke making a cnc plama cutter. as i clicked to the next page of his site I came
to a page about making a new chassis for his landy. It was titled something like frankenrover.
