hi im new to this, i have a disco 3 and i work for a mechanic doing recovery work, just looking at a few mods, any ideas??

i want to chequer plate the rear door where the card should be because chains and tools have damaged that.

i have been thinking about a shelf with drawers underneath for straps etc and possibly tinting out my rear windows but some advice would be really usefull.

thanks steve

What kind of recovery work? Turn up at the roadside and try to fix it? If you can't fix it, how do you transport the car to the garage?

Its up to you how you store tools etc in the back of the car. Is the Disco 3 used as a car too? If not, why not go for a van instead of a car, so the tools are more secure?

It's used as a car swell but I am looking more towards a van, possibly a crew cab so I can store tools in the back and get small cars on the back

But now I need to sell the discovery
