Yea,keeping rear seats as do alot of pay and plays etc with the wife and 2 kids.

i can see what your saying wlm but i think the back has such little over hang that its very unlikely that it will cause a problem. i like the look of yours but didnt really want to go down tubular route as i like the heavy duty look lol and as matt says i didnt want to raise chassis as i realy...

Well we got abit more done today,although the welder broke down and cost us a good few hours,many thanks to Matt for turning my pile of freshly bought steel into a nice heavy duty rear bumper and ian for ali welding panels :D this is the bumper in its early stages complete with hi-lift points...

Any good cheap ally welders near fleet,got a couple of little panels to weld : )

Cheers all : )

Today was all about more trimming of back end and cutting the chassis to length. the back end is now tack welded in place to allow for heating and beating :D to get final lines straight,all of which line up reasonably well :) the chassis has now got its new cross member installed which will...

Sorry Discowayne,already gone.

Yep lets hope we get a good jump on it tomorrow Think the body mounts have had there day :eek:

So tonight we we did some more final trimming of sides and sorted some more of the other rust on the disco.doesnt look like much done but the back is basically ready to be put back on once the chassis rails etc have been dealt with. heres a few more pics of the welding etc tonight :)

Hi All As the title says its another disco 1 bobtail build :D Before i start i would like to say a HUGE thanks to Matt Baxter and the Green Hornet (aka ian). without there help i wouldnt have even thought about doing this as they are the brains and i just do as im told:) Hopefully if any of you...

Haven't got a clue why the closed it,don't think it was due to anti social behaviour but who knows nowadays. Seems like more and more fords/byways etc getting closed : (

It wasn't bad,avg bout 18inches deep. Trouble is,it's a single track lane that leads to it and they haven't put any signs up to say it is closed so a nice bit of reversing will be in order if anyone drives down there. Def no sign on the north warnborough end of mill lane,not checked the other...

Hi all Just to let you all know the ford at Odiham/north warnborough is now closed to all traffic.

That's gonna be a lot of tyre if my calculator is right noisy, 318/72/15

Malatiste kaiman are copy's of insa special track which are copies of simex,very good off road tyres IMO but a lot of road noise but I wouldn't change em,good thing about kaimans over insa etc is they have a lot more sidewall lugs/protection. I think tyres direct do a modular wheel and tyre...

Used the big green taxi in the end so all good.

Yea cheers to everyone for today,just gutted the water pump went when we got to killer hill lol,altho did get 3 or 4 goes up the hill before the pump shat itself. Cheers all

Morning Hornet That sounds abit scary,momentary lock up at 40 mph. Think I read on here a while ago that fooked wheel bearing has that very symptom,didn't over tighten it did ya. I could be wrong but that's prob easiest quickest fix.

Nice work mate,looks good.great idea putting it up there : )

Stop being lazy : ) A man of your calibre,only take you 10 mins to knock one up like mine. As noisy said best place as far as transmitting is concerned is on the roof but then you would never drill a hole in your roof : ) so best option is bracket on spare wheel,u can have it nearly as high as...
