Not bad having a dad like that ;)

I think your bumper is on par with the new rack I am making - and the thought that just crossed my mind, was its now even higher to lift the bugger onto :eek:

The hoses make all the difference - I went for the blue theme in mine :D
 
Hi Dr_Evil
The Marine sealant is available from most marine shops (sorry for sounding a bit obvious) or chandlery outlets. Basically anything to do with yachts n stuff.
It's a bit like a bathroom sealant that is on steroids and is ocean resistant. Seems to be doing the job on my old bus for sure.

Cracking effort on the Disco mate. Very inspiring.
 
Here, have some pics :p

I'll get one with all the lights working once I've put in the new relay and a before and after shot of the new springs once they're in on tuesday :D

Out of interest, did you clean the inlet manifold as well or just the intercooler? Going to clean my intercooler and fit new pipes but didn't fancy taking the manifold off in case a new gasket was needed.

Didn't bother cleaning that out as I couldn't be arsed, I'll do it later in the year and order a gasket to go with it. Might as well replace it if cleaning

Cheers Stu, no idea on rear bumper. Probably August after I've earned a bit more money :eek: Checked the sunroofs earlier and touch wood that they're still not leaking as its ****ing it down :D

Must admit I never bothered cleaning it out when i did my intercooler, something else on the 'to do'list' :rolleyes:

I keep checking my sunroofs, as did them all about 2 1/2 years ago, and noticed a spot of water the other day...so might replace the seals since I have redone all the doors.

Like the idea of making my own bumpers, and you have inspired me to maybe try front and rears....if you don't mind me asking, how much will the total out lay be on your front bumper, as wondering how much saving building your own to buying new. Cheers

I used £78 worth of steel, that was due to me using some proper heavy stuff for the centre section and then the first metal workers I went to were rather expensive compared to the second one I used. Probably would have been about £60 had I used the same guys all the way through, this included them tacking all the side bits together and cutting them to my templates…..all of the steel used was between 6-4mm and some 2" by 3mm box section as a support rail
 
Problem is.....they are never nearly done - something else will always need doing - even if its nothing broken, we will find something to change or mod :D
 
Well I'd like to make some proper rocksliders :eek: and then the rear bumper later in the year

Also wouldn't mind upgrading the performance a little so I can get out of junctions and overtake a bit quicker as I'm in the EDC model
 
Got my sliders from Ian at Rock-sliders - as I looked into making a set, but by the time I got the steel etc, then powder coated etc wasn't really cost effective, plus Ian's are curved to follow the bottom of the doors, which I couldn't do.

Am actually coming back up North in a week or so, and will be calling on Ian again for a new Tank Guard with removable hitch ;)
 
How close are you to Darlington, as that's where he is based - well Croft Circuit is nearer to him
 
His delivery is normally around £20.00, but he is doing me a good deal as I am going to collect, and have bought from him before. Could always give him a ring and say I recommended you ;) although I do know he is very busy at the mo with Billing coming up.
