It was completely stripped and a new chassis purchased, which was then mordant T solution washed, and acid etched primed with 3 coats of primer and then four coats of gloss black paint.
Original axles were deemed unusable so they were swapped for a 300 TDI Discovery; these were then stripped back. All internals were renewed, including new CV's, bearings, and seals. Flanges on the front Axles were shot blasted, primed and painted. These axles were fitted with new brake discs and pads the callipers were stripped, cleaned, and re-built with stainless pistons and then painted in Ford orange. Axles were then fitted to the chassis with reconditioned suspension arms and a full set of orange poly bushes.
