I went to a local breakers with my bro for some bits and there was a stunning MGC sat in the yard, turns out that was for scrapping, I couldn't believe it! The thing was immaculate!

Quality bit of gear that... I'm sure if you get enough bent bits yoou coould build a landy so wonky it would drive better than the original!

I recently did all the required reading into what's hot and what's not and reached the conclusion that for a DIY mechanic like me, a Disco 1 would be better for the mum in law (short version, I dont drive but me and my lady live with her, she wants a decent offroader - disco 1) Reasons...

Yes you need to cut the sealant to remove the external panels, also make sure the upper two screws/bolts are undone too.

Cheers guys, really looking forward to it all...love gettings hands on. Her 2006 fiesta has been killing me as everything is behind stupid plastic clips, the front bumper needs removing to change a damnn bulb and everything else is so bogged down in trim and electronics that it's not worth the...

Nice work :)

True that... there are plenty worth the effort inbetween the ones that you just know aren't really going to get anywhere mostly because they don't want to themselves. Nice to find someone on the level in the same work area, even if it was by accident but I reckon we've hijacked this one enough lol

It's the good thing about bieng in this job at my age (26) old enough to carry a little authority but young enough to be "on the level" with them (we only deal with 18 and under hence the minefield)... essentially I went into this job young enough to remember that when I was a teen all I wanted...

I would never mention anything specific about anyone I work with, far more than my *just above* minimum wage is worth lol. I realise that my joke in the previous post definitely came across wrong , it's my dry sense of humour as I'm actually a passive guy :) I do get where he is coming from...

That being said, let's get back on topic of the awesome landy in this thread... I can't wait to hear how it does offroad after all the work you've done...you may just get hooked and get it dirty more often haha

Macho ****s like me? You neither know me nor know the few brats I have had to do this to, the post was in humour not pure seriousness so pelase, down boy, off your soap box. Most of the time I actually get on well with the kids because I am one of the few people they deal with that treats...

YAAAAAYNESS :) I can understand where you're coming from mate, I'm security for a youth offending institution so I get to see all the bottom feeders that guys like you had to exclude lol It's a slow month if I haven't had to drag one of the little sacks of wasted genes off of their case worker...

Hey Auf... I wanna get dirty with your disco ;) HAHAHAHA

Hadn't even thought of that, no reason why I wouldn't get on with one of those so definite possibility thankyou :)

Ok guys, simple question can we get the simple answer on it (it's one where everyone will have preferences, I only need to know if it can be done) Can everything likely to need doing in terms of welding be done by a half decent arc welder, trying to avoid gas, I can use it but have nowhere for...

Just standard woodworking chisels? or something else?

Dear oh dear...taking my friendly jibes so seriously? For shame guys, for shame... Besides, I merely said there is no such thing as a disco too nice to get dirty, I didn't say he has to get it dirty nor try and force him into anything lol. The English language is a wonderful thing until people...

Thankfully my bro in law is holding a big vice for me... then I gotta figure out what to do with the damn thing as it's heavier than my workmate >.<

There can be no such thing ;) Mud washes off but fun memories last forever!

Puddle jumping would get it dirty ;) Don't get me wrong it's an awesome beast and a great buildlog...I just feel the machine is missing it's natural environment hehe
