...Have we drilled enough holes in the right place! - Edd China's Workshop Diaries Ep 62

This is the turning point; we are now putting things back on our Range Rover chassis, starting with a layer of hot dip zinc. The galvanizing process will protect all of our hard work for many, many years to come and it will look very shiny, for a short while! Has all the faffing about we have been doing worth the effort or was it a complete waste of time?
