Hi Matt,
Yep, galvanised chassis, best part of £2,000. I also had the bulkhead and radiator panel galvanised, plus lots of other small parts.
The roof panel has a pop-top (but without the bellows at present), the roof side panels are in two pieces, which is a little rare, but not unknown.
It is only minor things that stop it being street legal ... no exterior mirrors (not strictly needed at that age, but scary to drive without them), no screen washer, difficulty finding wiper arms that are short enough ... does anyone have a 2CV and a pape measure? Then of course, there is the shake down/sea trials period yet to come.
Once you have had a Land Rover, you get withdrawal symptoms so buy another, which is comforting, even if you don't drive it. My SWMBO says her buying me a Land Rover brought me back to life after they drilled a hole in my head.
