Thanks to everyone for their comments, i will follow with pictures.. It's alot of work and only worth doing to this extent on a vehicle you plan on keeping it for a long time, im sure the money and time spent would not be returned if i sold her. I would consider doing it again for the right...

Just to let you know, Lady flew through her MOT a few months back, anyone wanting the rest of the job description let me know ill make some more posts... ALOT of work but shes worth it ;) Show me the MUD!

Quick Update Removed O/S/R quarter panel. Went crazy with the plasma cutter. Took angle crinder and cleaned up edge's prep for welding. Picked up 8x4 foot 2mm steel sheet so plenty to rebuilt lower inner rear quarterpanel shown missing in following pictures. Leaving...

So Lady has had a little time to rest since her previous op and i'm back running on all cylinder and a full 3 days to crack on with the mountain of crap left to do! Today i chopped out the fuel tank, and when i say chopped out i mean it! I really like angle grinders and i really hate rusty...

Remove living room window, fit garage door in its place and Shapow! A garage and a nice 7 seater coach to double up as a living room ;)

Disco 1 arches ordered from brookwells, half the price of rimmer bros ! SCORE!

Stu - I live in Truro - Cornwall JoelC - Ha to behonest i would say there is alot out there that share our issue's probably not many silly enough to try and over come them :D Out of interest where did you find the arch kit? tho i will probably stick to the RRC ones as can have both sides for...

Extra hands would be a god send especially since currently have one of the worse flu's ive had in years.. but as ever living in the back end of no where buggars this up! Thanks all the same! Will have a measure up of the arches, i am thinking of getting some modular wheels but prob not loads...

Stu what a diamond you are! Shouldn't need any measuurements if you are sure the arches are the same, damn im pleased to hear that!! Not too worried about the rear this can be easily made up with sheet metal and have been considering moving the filler neck as want those two panels fitted with...

Thanks mate all encouragement is worth weight in gold at the moment! We still have a little more stripping to do (O/S quarter panel then cutting out the entire arches and lower quarter panel bit both sides) :eek: Then soon as i work out these arches it will start getting better... provided...

Thanks that does help a bit and i have done a wee bit of research aswell and heres whhat i have found: The rear door arch seal is the same from RRC to Disco 1 Meaning atleast some of it is the same shape and in all honestly the back end of the inner arch can be fabricated if needed, its...

Great to hear mate ! If only mine was so simple to get through the MOT :D

How much i'd like to spend a day cleaning mine but currently not much left to clean :O Nice pics and vid mate, looking good! decent bit of snow you guys got eh?!

Hey GH , wondered how yours is getting on, mine has gone from worse to terrible and in need of some pictures of what to look forward to when i get to the fun bits :D

So another day at it and well its just got worse! Took a moment to examine and reflect on what is the best way to cure Lady, after a bit of a closer inspection we found the rear inner arches and where the floor/arch meets the 1/4 panel in much worse condition than anticipated.. So we decided...

Today was that day, It's comes into realism of the time thats going to have to go into this before it even gets to the fun bits! However youv'e gone far enough to have to keep going.. However progress..ish has been made and the pictures to entertain! Firstly here is a few shots for those that...

Yes its been a difficult choice this one going with OE as much more expensive aswell but I am planning on having the sills well protected from obstacles by the sliders and rust shouldn't be an issue as the sills come in 2 pieces so i can make sure properly sprayed and waxoiled as it goes...

Get ya point matt, have been thinking of a brace to be made from rear bumper over arch and onto back of rock sliders any thoughts?

Has yours already recieved damage if so how much did it take to cause it? If it took a fair bit then im not too botherd as id rather that damaged than the chassis if moderate effort then with minor reinforcements it will be fine? or with little effort... its crap?
