Hello all, I'm currently restoring a 1968 land rover. it's defiantly a ex mod and the family story is that it was in service in Cyprus. We've had it in the family since 1984 but know very little about it before we got it. Is there any way to find out about its previous life? regards Ben

This is from the manufacturing processA lot of larger components were made in two half's. Some thinks were welded, others were heated to red hot and squeezed together.I could be wrong but this is my educated guess!

Not a million miles away. I live in horncastle. The workshop is near cadwell park,between louth and horncastle so not a far away at all! Drop me a line if I can help at all Cheers Ben

Hello Steve, I'm in sunny Lincolnshire but do get about a bit with work and generally fetch project vehicles myself within a 100 mile radius or use transporters if it's much further. stress cracks aren't too difficult to repair but make sure it gets done properly so it doesn't start again once the vehicle is in use. if you want a more in depth chat about it or any repair sections fabricating, give me a call on 07904811582. I've got a jeep in the Workshop currently so I am able to take measurements and patterns from it if need be. good luck with the project, cheers Ben

Hello Steve, have you got any photos of the chassis? I presume it's bare and stripped for repair. I specialise in the fabrication side of vehicle restoration and do many land rovers and light vans etc. 2000 seems a lot to restore the chassis. If you get stuck get in touch. Good luck with the project Cheers Ben
