Progress pictures will follow tomorrow, my grandfather bought this discovery new in 1997 and has been neglected since his passing, finally managed to get it bought from my uncle and hoping to get it the way my grandfather wanted it, off road spec

Cheers mate, I’ve got 2 spare d1s so hopefully be okay but I’ll keep you in mind, doesn’t help me being in the Scottish highlands, so getting decent second hand bits is a nightmare as most people won’t shipNice trailer.. I do like a commercial one round the corner from me, but he wont sell it

Sentimental value and I’d much rather build my own that buy someone else’s

Some progress pictures, getting a good bit done in between rain showers and snow, working on my drive as my shed isn’t finished doesn’t help matters,

Trying to get as much as I can done this week as I’m away to training next week, along with mates and family taking advantage of me being on holiday ans dropping the sh*t heaps on to sort, I’ve nearly go the drivers side completely welded, just the rear wheel arch inner needs a little stitch and start working my way round it and can’t start getting some progress pictures that look like I’ve not been sitting crying at it for weeks

Always take longer than you want it to, I find it terribly frustrating at times but it'll be worth it in the end

Yeah I’m currently waiting on sliders being made from my local smiddy, whether my idea works or not will be interesting, should look good when they are on and that should give me a motivational boost

After a day of grinders blowing up and running out of sheet metal and having to cut out a section of the floor where the mud flap screws sit, finally the drivers side floor is complete
Well done for taking it on
3 door discos are the best IMHO - SWMBO has one I have a 5 door, which I'm far too tempted to sell and find a 3 door ..... might have to find the 3 door first, weld it up, and then sell the 5 door though ....
