Cutting It Up
The new tub was in the garage and just about completely repaired. I decided to check its fit to the chassis by taking off the old tub and loosely fitting it. Grinding off the seized nuts and bolt just took a few minutes. Neighbours and friends helped to swap the tubs over.
The good news - the new tub seems to fit and has not been twisted in the refit.
The bad news - under about half an inch of underseal the chassis that I thought was ok was rotten through.
How had this ever passed an MOT. I drove the kids around in this death trap!
