hi all well i got my landy about 3 months ago every thing was great up until 3weeks ago when things started to go wrong or should i say fall to bits!! first the electric started playing up not working then the axel was leaking all over the wheels THEN after a few off roading greening treks we discovered that the front chassis leg had snaped off! and was sitting/wedge into the front bumper! and i had been driving round like this! if it had slip then i would of had no sterring! well i has been quotes way too much and couldnt afford to fit some1 sayid get a new chassis 1k i wish! i has all but given up when disco off her said he would take alook few days later at his house he had alook a said he should be able to sort her out at a fraction of the cost! the front leg had been repaired before and was full of expanding foam. covered in fiberglass and filler!!!omg what wankers! so we starting stripping it all back and did find some good metal to work with we didnt buy a new leg for it disco made it and shaped it we started off with 3" steel boxing! well glad to say it now fixed and back on the road thanks to disco there still lots that need doing but it going to take time! i want to replace the front end with a 90 front change the old leaf springs and shocks just get her ready fro some off road fun!! i will upload pics of discos magic and would recommend him to any one!
