I have decided to put my own restoration piccies up but please be aware i am no mechanic and dont know a prop shaft from a half shaft etc i am simply doin as my wonderful father advises and then waiting for my next instructions! lol
More importantlyif anyone can help in any way for example let me know where to get parts like the center post's from panels etc then it would be much appreciated!:)

If someone could help by telling me where i can get the cross members and runners from in the boot floor area that would be great and also the center posts!?!?!? Cheers Jess :)

Oooooooh boy!... Underseal arrived today and the straight six is now humming like the gentle roar of a lion!:D
Soon be time to get the cross runners for the boot floor and then get the floor in!
Im on the look out for a B post if anyone has one for sale please pm me with price (passenger side) :)
Will get some more piccies up soon!
 
Underseal arrived today :hysterically_laughi thats the last thing you need :doh:

glad its running well mate


i will pop round tomorrow :D
 
Thank's Oxi your a star! :cool:


Stu the only reason your Disco is still in one piece underneath is the amount of oil it leak's! If you hadn't bought that 90 i would have disowned you! :rolleyes:



And as for the underseal I'm painting the chassis top legs while there exposed and then leaving the rest for the mot so the git doesn't scrape it all off looking for problems that aren't there!
 
disowned me :rolleyes::p


am gonna come round and borrow your axle stands if you not using them, want to strip me back diff down
