nope, its been got at long before I got it and it was either lumps of mild steel and possibly the outer case of a microwave, there was a sheet of ply in the back and it had builders sand on top, it looked solid "ish" underneath until took the sand and wood out and then more Swiss cheese was found,

Ive mention before that recently a mechanic looked at and the prognosis was "dig a hole a bury it"

not really what I wanted to hear.

Time for a new chassis ;)

or Ebay it as people fight over the things and get something a bit more up to date and less tinwormy
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I think its more like a Heinz 57, and Im not talking about the tin cans used to patch it up.
