To be honest I'd seriously consider lifting the body and having the chassis galv'd anyway. Might seem OTT but after 5 x Series, Defender, Discovery and 3 x Range Rovers it's something I dread.
I don't mind some bodywork as long as it's not falling apart - like my old B reg Steyr Puch Panda 4x4 !

TBH just waxoyling(or similiar) it should be enough, my old SJ was nearly 20years old and essentially filler but the chassis was perfect. Look under any old zuk and i'd be surprised to see chassis rot on a looked after example.

As a Landie owner I take great offense at that comment!
Just what gives you the idea they have chassis rot problems anyhow?
Have you seen my series 2A chassis? a bit of paint and a quick rubdown ( and a lot of luck ) and she will be fine I'm sure
Yeah a bit of wire brush action and some hammerite and alls well!
I've seen a few old motors knocking about lately now the weathers improving, i wish i could afford to run a 3rd car, i'd love something tax exempt an old series ideally, nothing mint just a good example to run about a bit to shows and the odd play day.
