Nice job, esp the undersealing. Heres a thing, i fitted a Galvanized Chassis 14 years ago, i bought it near Doncaster it was a small outfit, i think it was Richards, Well looked at it this month, and its started to rust, Shocked in the font spring mounts ,and the rear spring mounts ,too, am a bit Seek, is the term,, gonna blast them areas this spring time ,to see how bad,,, renew the diesel tank before you put on the body, there a bitch to come out wi body on ,.
