i suppose that is a veryy good point halo, am i being ignorant in think that discos are already 100" wheelbase? or do you mean the chassis length? well as i said,as long as your not changing the wheelbase, or the original suspenion,axles,braking,engine and transmission then you will score more...

halo, the bloke i spoke to is the sva tester for dvla/vosa at my local test station,and it was him that said this,to top it off i then spoke to my insurance company,told them it was bobtailed,and they said thats fine and didnt ask for anything. so! if they will insure it,and vosa have told me i...

very wise choice mate! no worries ,hes a good old boy and hell sort you out! Where did you get your black plastic dash pod from mate??

heres the rest of my pictures, got me snorkel and such back on, and got my defender arches, now it does look feckin ridiculous at the moment as the front end isnt lifted yet,and the wheels are wayyyyy to skinny for it! but you can see the general idea! v8_disco, i take your point on the rear...

so heres the next lot of pictures! as you can see all the panels and trims are back on,the polycarb rear quarter lights have been cut and fitted, front end is all back together and headlights aligned perfectly,in the last picture,its my exhaust :D as for my call to vosa.allll is okay,i...

not britpart :rolleyes: nevermind! the best place for welding supplies would be a bloke called chris at elite engineering, hes based in bicester,google it, tell him badger at longlife in weston gave you his number and hell sort you out mate. now stop fannying around and get outside and fit those...

morning all,quick update,front end is back together with freshly matt blacked grill, just eed to sort headlight alignment. back door etc is all back together ,all electrics etc are wired in. exhaust is done, although im not to sure where is is , all thats left now it to prep and spray the roof...

I know. Looks pants!! Plus I want my bonnet clear for my strange rover sticker and my high lift mounting ;)

Very good point gcoo, I've been googling, and they don't look very nice. Think ill leave that off the list :D

Bonnet pods look the tits. Bit its expensive :'( that can wait me thinks.wanna concentrate on getting it back on the road and stuff :D

Sam darling you didn't read the top bit! I am doing the roof green, but next weekend!! Once all the paint is dry so I can mask the car off without worrying about ripping the paint off. So don't panick it is being done soon! Ill be reassembling the outside and getting my polycarb windows cut and...

and here she is!! masked,prepped,then matt blacked.and im really pleased with the results,considering it took us about and hour to prep it and about an hour to mask ,it came out really well . the last 4 pictures were the last ones of today! now for the serious bit. yes ive spent lots of money...

next set of pictures of final maskng all finished, couple more of the bonnet and tailgate ( i must say,even though none of it has been clearcoated,its feckin shiny :D) more pictures of robbie using the da to prep the body work before wiping with pre paint degreaser > comments please :)

as promised,she was painted this weekend, all that remains in the roof, but there is a reason as to why it wasnt done today, because of the time it takes for the paint to become hard enough to mask over etc, if i had painted the roof,i would not of been able to mask it over today so i could...

dont we just know it :doh:

glad to hear all is okay mate! no leaks? it cant be a landy then :rolleyes: :p

Yes,cut the rust out,then weld a plate in its place,the outer body is bermabrite ( an alloy mix) and everything else is steel.

Leak wise it could be from the door seals, , any blocked drain holes can cause water to sit there, leaky windscreen could cause it, look around on here I'm sure there's a list of all common disco leaking points

It is spot on mate. Ideally you want 18 gauge steel which 1.2 mm thick,perfect for plating, you can get it from a company in weston on the green, they're called oxford fabrication. They will sel you a 4x2 foot sheet quite cheaply,you can cut it with a decent set of tin snips.

Oh dear. This is not good!! Yes of course mate! Get all the rust cleaned up around the holes and gets some plates cut up and ill come round and (try) and show you how to do it, once I've set your welder up that is!
