extreme welding

Something I have been pondering on these damp cold evenings...

As I see it money and time are little rational factors in keeping a Commer on the road. I mean if you looked at them like an insurance company they would all be binned. Looking to the future (if we last the next 4 years) I was wondering if anyone had contemplated a complete chassis replacement - and if so how you'd do it.

Seeing how they are constantly trying to rot to death my thinking is the chassis is simply a ticking time bomb on all these vans.

Perhaps not the most positive post - but the practicalities have got me thinking.

It's only usually the outer part of the floor and box sections that rot, the middle bit is normally protected by the oil leaks spraying back from the engine:rolleyes:
I think if the normal repair sections a welded in, and a bit of proper rust prevention carried out, then they will last for many years.
