Hello folks
My first dabble with land rovers is a 98 discovery 1 with usual rust problems. Bought it because chassis seems solid and am not afraid of a bit of welding and grinding.
My question is that I have removed the offside sill and body mounts and also the rear arch and am considering the box section sills as replacement for strength purposes. Can anyone give advice on the best way to go about this with regards to how the doors will fit and if I need to be aware of any sizes which are important when doing this.
Can anyone give advice also as to whether I can replace the rear crossmember with the same box section as the sill as it seems cheaper to buy a full length of steel as opposed to cutting charges and I’d cut to size myself
Thanks
