Nice job what welder do you have?

I am enjoying your welding pictures, keep up the good work!

Hope the project goes well for you mate :) I helped my mate swap his D2 chassis, it didn't take us very long actually, but we cheated a bit and lifted the body off with a tractor and loader :D

That off roading you did looks like jolly good fun. Plus if you break something while off roading it just gives you another excuse to fix something on your landy :D The most mine has ever seen is a few fields and farm tracks never anything as extreme as that. Bit too scared of denting it.

Ah right would you use that wax straight onto bare metal or use primer or something else first?

Cheers :) I hope you're a patient man because waiting for dry weather in this country might take a while :rolleyes:

Now for the rear wheel arch, which looked like this. Pretty much any of the rusty metal you can see here was thin enough to rip if you gave it a little tap with a screwdriver. The main pillar was pretty bad too. The bit that you see when you open the rear door (the visible bit of outer wheel...

The plan is to replace the whole lot including floor, and use box section for the sills and re-fabricate a floor to fit. I spent most of today trying to get the old sill off, what a bloody job and a half! :mad:

Cheers for the welcome :) These discos are the best I agree, love driving it more than any other car :D

Now on to the driver's side which was considerably worse, a rotten footwell which I put down to wet feet coming in and out all the time, the previous owner had no proper floor mats just carpet. I cut out a few rectangles of rust and then cut out new steel to fit flush and weld in place. I ran...

Realising my stick welder wouldn't cut it neither would my pathetic little non gas MIG welder, I splashed out and bought a nice Oxford MIG maker 200. So far this welder seems brilliant to use especially on thin landy steel. Having cut away all the old wheel arches and wings the bottom of the...

Hello all, my first post on here. Here's my 300tdi landy. I've been driving it for over a year no bother but then my belt snapped which in turn overheated it and blew my head gasket (oops). Whilst it was in the garage I had a poke about with a screwdriver (bad idea), here is what I found...
