I have been looking around on various forums and I saw inner panels mentioned. Are inner front wings available? I'd love to keep my Disco, and if I can learn to weld in the process of replacing all the panels on a vehicle I paid off long ago and end up with a well looked after vehicle I will be...

Welcome dude, great place this, lots of knowledge around. I also have a Disco, a 300Tdi. But the body has rusted to hell. Started with the boot floor. I am now planning to use the the mechanicals which are all good and mixing them with defender bodywork, like Mark Evans did with his Range Rover.

I've also thought about getting some defender bodywork and making it fit the Disco chassis. Similar to what Mark Evans did to when he used his Range Rover chassis and dropped a Defender body on it. I believe the Disco Chassis is 100 inch as well like the Range Rover. This seems to be a route I'd...

Thanks Borris113, it seems the Defender is the one to go for. I'd prefer the 110, for it longer loadbed. Any idea which Defender would not require me to weld new engine mounts? I don't mind not having a middle seat as it's only going to be my wife and I in it. All this info is gratefully...

Hello all, I have a 300TDi Discovery and it's body work has rotted away. First the rear bed went and then other major panels. The engine and drive train are in good condition with new wheel bearings etc. I would like to know if it's possible to mate the engine, gearbox, axles and electrics to...

Have you checked Scorpion Racing? They do them as do a number of companies advertising in the LRO Magazine.

Thanks a lot peoples, nice tips all. I often wonder how LR managed to make one of the best 4x4 drivtrains in the world and then construct such effective rust factories. That sound deadening mat under the rear carpet is a classic case. Jay

Thanks for that Dave, have you any suggestions for the gutter? Jay

Hello all, I am about to start the great adventure of replacing my Disco rear boot floor, and while I was stripping the rear end I noticed most of the water was on the left hadn side which coincidently is right below where there is an area of rust damage to the left area corner gutter area...
