Watters' Disco 1 "To Do" List...

Right then - 2 weeks leave booked from work for start of July....where's that to do list....

"Clean out shed...."
"Clean decking..."
"Replace fascia board...."

Oh yeah, and......

• Replace (what's left of) O/S and N/S Sills (and make tree sliders)
• Weld up O/S and N/S inner wings and flitch panels
• Weld O/S/F foot well
• 4 Springs & 4 Shocks
• Full service...

...and get my Series III back home!!!

Piccies along the way (of Disco) if anyone's interested

It will keep you out of trouble and don't forget all the other jobs your other half may have for you. Good luck anyway.

Cheers Roger - going to be rollercoaster couple of days (I've only got a couple of days from the 2 weeks to get it done!!!)

Steel is here, parts on the way, Waxoyl and shutz on order... ready to start 07th July...!

Well - 3 days longer than planned, but all finished and with a shiny new MoT to boot:

-O/s & N/s Sills
-O/s & N/s front inner arches/flitches
-O/s & N/s Rear wheel arch to C-post corners
-O/s Front floor pan and pedal box

Piccies to follow...

-Springs and shocks all round (Standard height/Heavy Duty)

-Full Service

Looks good, drives really well...

Arm hurt like hell tho....

Some Piccies...

And a few more...

And this is why the arm hurt...

3 welding burns in the same spot...

:flame::flame::flame:

Also got round to fitting my new Spots to the front, and (inspired by Auf Wiedersehen Pet's awesome Disco 1 build) knocked up a budget Saudi grille too...!

I'll try to get a better picture

Hey - looking great fellah. Needs a "how to" guide for the Saudi as those things are like hen's teeth!

Nice one it always takes long than you expect.

Looks good mate how'd you find the HD springs, does it stand a lot better and how's it like on the road chap

AWP - rare as hell!!! I'll sort out the "how I made mine..." when I get back after my next work trip...

Vizsla - Std Height/HD springs and shocks have transformed the motor tbh. Rides beautifully, stands about 1.5" higher (old ones were very tired...). much more stable on the road, corners well and tows much better indeed. Also changed the steering damper for the same HD make/model - world of difference too.

That sounds perfect, I carry oak in the back of mine so I'm planning to go HD but didn't want to do it if it ruins daily drive but that sounds spot on, what make did you go for

despite some having bad reports/bad experiences, I went with Br****rt - personally never had a problem!
