The folk on here are helpful with any questions or feel free to send myself a pm spent many years working on these beasts

It's a long way from finished but once done will be good for another 20 years yours don't look anywhere near as bad so wouldn't need to go to that extent

Anything is worth saving have a look at my thread on here 1997 discovery 1 300tdi complete rebuild it all comes down to how brave you are and your knowledge of metal and welding at the end of the day plus every one on here is more than helpful
