You could say that it is a blessed or very hole-y vehicle. 🥁 Excited to see the progress although can't imagine the hassle cleaning and repairing that must be..!
Might be worth considering a half chassis on, my series 3 had one, much cheaper and easier than a chassis swap especially as you've the rear tub off? Anyway, its a fine old 2a and I look forward to your progress on it.
I am sure you have noticed that one looks to have had a poorly installed rear cross member welded on at some point. I have seen Chassis in far worse state being repaired : just takes a lot of time with a grinder and a mig. I'd suggest you are going to need to get the whole cab and front end wings off, engine out anyway; then you will see. I also noticed the modern wiring loom in plastic at the back so evidence of more work that was done. On my own truck that I had delivered here I found my rear tub not bolted down at all :-) PS Wire brushes on a rotator like a drill, and Flap-Disks on a grinder to clean it up. Go well, and be safe. wear eye protection. Cheers.
