Let's hope it doesn't do like your boat....

 

yep, that did cross my mind. even checked it over closely the next day

 

I am also considering this, to address the rust on the outside of the frame: Frame Paint Kit - Frame Coater Kit - Stop Chassis Rust with KBS Coatings

I haven't found many reviews.

As for the SprayOn product.
I found it for $5.55 per can + shipping (Zoro Tools)

Here is the SprayOn webpage for it: Sprayon - Product Information - WAXY FILM PROTECTANT

Sprayon® LU™ 710 PDRP® - Waxy Film Lube is a high-solids, waxy film, corrosion preventative compound suitable for a wide range of applications. Its formula provides long term protection of all metal surfaces, including vehicle underbody and enclosed, boxed, seam, joint and other crevice locations susceptible to corrosion. This pliable, firm coating has a polar attraction to metal surfaces and does not crack, age or harden. The dried coating is not flammable and protects electrical connections and wiring. It is not harmful to materials that are part of vehicle construction or paints, and prevents galvanic corrosion. The film is a lubricant for joints, guarding against fretting corrosion. This heavy duty water displacing film allows greater protection for machinery or parts stored outdoors, especially in salt water or a high humidity atmosphere. Easily removed with petroleum solvents, kerosene or perchloroethylene.

 

In case you haven't seen it, very cool video. Job done in a weekend by a group of techs.

 

they must bill out at about $3600 and hour

 

More than that I'll guess!

 

Good to know you could do this in your driveway. With a cherry picker and 1/2 a dozen jack stands.

 

Nice one ZGPhoto but I don't think I'd like to be the one to pick up the chip for that work. I think I'd rather drive the D2 to the scrappers or tear it down and sell the good bits.

You've certainly gotta know what you're doing and have the right kit to do it not least of all a large garage and a vehicle lift/hoist. Doing an old Series 2A was difficult, I had to line up three strong guys to lift the shell off, one in each corner.

Funny story.................. I decided back then in the 70's to take out the manual gearbox and transfer box myself, back then I had no engine crane, so I stood on the rolling chassis with a rope around the transmission and across my shoulders, I eased the boxes from the engine and bingo, I dropped the lot but luckily I had put timber blocks underneath, you wouldn't believe the weight of that damned transmission, it nearly broke my neck and back, young and stupid in those days in the 70's, fortunately my wife was a hospital casualty nurse/sister and straightened me out from the crumpled mess pinned down by the transmission. You live and learn by your stupid mistakes..........provided you survive them.

 

years ago,I passed by a pick up on a country road, in frog knot, TX (really). It was parked in the roadside ditch, straddling the washout. I saw feet sticking out, from underneath. so, I stopped and asked "you need any help?" he replied, "sure, I'm pulling the transmission" and laughed. He lived nearby and that was his lift.

 

Land Rover Monthly did a series on swapping a chassis on a DII. I will try to find out what issues and post back.
