cheers for the info :-) i'll have a look at that on sat when I do the rest of the stuff on it.

I'll have a look later on at waterproofing it as much as I can, is it easy enough to silicon the holes under the dizzy? stupid question but can i seal them without taking it off? also should I be worried about axle breathers?

i've got a thermo switch on the fan which i can just unplug the spade connectors or pull the fuse out. I suppose worst case scenario is one of my passengers has to climb out the window onto the bonnet and throw someone a tow strap lol wd40 and vaseline might come in handy aswell for the coil...

my only concern is water crossings, are we likely to come across any that are reasonably deep as I haven't got a cut out switch for the electric fan and no snorkel fitted at the moment :-(

all being well if my new hose comes this week and i can get the interior fitted back in I'll be along also. If not due to the numbers wanting to go it looks like we'd have enough for 2 groups on a future weekend or even a nice big convoy to a pay n play day :-) this is my toy :-) this picture...

count me in at the moment. unfortunately i got home tonight and I think my disco has got a little worried about the possibility of driving through water and its ****ed itself on the drive. turns out its a split hose so ordered a new one just which should hopefully come before the weekend...

ok, just so we have a list of who's up for this in no particular order _jason_ + 2 passengers 4x4tom big_ginga_beard fesuvious funkykipper defender89 mentioned it and also marshal-beej depending on the mot personally time wise, if we are thinking maybe a couple of hours...

lol famous last words indeed. what would be good might be a few lanes and lunch so we all get to know one another and one anothers abilities then venture further afield at a later date, hopefully with my cb radio fitted by then :-) whose gonna be brave enough to lead the way :-)

I'll be up for this on Sunday aswell. My only question it does anyone know if there's any deep water as my V8 doesn't have and swimming gear yet lol

if I was to pick a name today I'd have to name mine Kay after my last girlfriend because its big up front like her chest, drinks alot, costs a fortune to run and puts a big grin of my face when she's turned on lol still thinking of a more meaningful name though

fitted new thermo switch for the fan and also treated the boot floor with Kurust, just waiting for another hour to pass then i'll primer it all ready for painting after work tomorrow.

here's the latest pic with the roof painted, hopefully if we get sunshine tomorrow there will be a finished pic

i'm up for some trips in the week or weekends. got a v8 disco with a few mods, live in erdington area of Birmingham

Amazing looking disco mr noisy, definately inspiring me to put the effort into mine, my mates are always saying just take it offroad and sink it in mud, but personally coming from the modified car scene myself I want it to look nice aswell as being good offroad so i'm taking my time and doing...

this is an interesting topic, my 1994 M 300 series disco has sidelights in both the cluster and bumper but only indicators in the bumper. personally i'm not too bothered about the indicators not being in the cluster because the empty light strip is red and i'm fitting some recovery/warning...

hahaha for some reason I feel the need to try and beat that :D

After a little bit of a washout this weekend I only managed to get the roof painted before the heavens opened, thank god for quick drying paint. Its looking really good though, so I'll get some pictures up soon of the finished disco if my dad manages to get the black bits painted this week...

I had a word with my dad last night and he's going to paint the rubbing strips for me today whilst I'm at work :) which should just leave the roof for me to do all being well on Friday and if the weather is good there should be some photo's uploaded over the weekend once the paints dried.

cheers. I sanded mine using a corner detail sander and 240 grit paper then finished with 400, 2 coats of paint later and its looking good, but I just want the weekend to arrive so I can finish it lol.

the pictures arn't the best because I didn't wanna get paint all over my iphone but once I've painted the roof, bumper and side strips this weekend I'll take it somewhere and get some better pictures before I take it offroad and scratch the hell out of it, but if that happens because its...
