Recently purchased a 1997 Land Cruiser 80 series. Long story short, after having had to cut the spare wheel bracket to get the spare wheel off, as the mechanism was rusted soild, I have found some bad corrosion on the back right portion of the frame rail and the inside of the rear cross member/bumper.
Has anyone had any experience repairing similar damage or replacing the whole of the rear of the chassis? I have spoken with some welders and they're all veering towards repairing instead of repalcing from a donor vehicle.
I am however planning on keeping this vehicle for a long time as they are becoming like rocking horse shit and I am keen to replace the rear crossmember/bumper and the back portion of the RHS frame rail instead of just doing a patch repair.
Can anyone recommend a welder or fabricator West from London who is compitent in carrying out the work, without having to remove the body?
Thank you in advance!
