Landy-Novice Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 not a dico body but a range rover! http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/images/Andrew_Colville/vsig_images/galvrrchassis2_487_323_90.jpg http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/images/Andrew_Colville/vsig_images/galvrrchassis1_487_323_90.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Is that yours landy-novice? what sort of money did it cost to clean and galvernise, did the body warp or was it alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 sorry, its not mine but i can answer some of those questions, it costs around 55p+VAT per kilo and they will dip it at a lower temp to prevent/minimise warping, but to be honest, you will struggle to find a place which can do such large items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Need to see if i can find someone local to do it then, assuming steel components get acid dipped before galvernizing to remove all traces of rust they should last the same as if it where new steel that had been galvernized right? may pay for me to buy myself a boroscope so i can get a proper look inside the chassis, i can blast anything rusty on the outside myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Wow - that Rangey body is amazing! Any links to more info about the rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 im afraid not! all i found is the speech for the photo Andrew Colville wrote: In the pictures below is a 1986 Range Rover 4 door body and chassis , the car was custom rebuilt for one of my customers and fully hot dip galvanized. A second two door model ( my own) will also be galvanized , and fitted with a Td5 engine and late 1994 soft dash (under construction at this time) There were also S.A.S response range rovers built! I have had photos but can’t find them at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
