What a waste of time

If your looking at Disco's this one had caught my eye. I had asked a few pointed pointed questions, claimed rust is not too bad. No sunroofs, manual, non ABS, non EDC). low mileage.

I've decided to stick with the fender for a bit and see if I can make it family friendly before winter. I've brought a new roof for it, no sunroof or alpines).

Well done Nick, hang in there with the 110. Should be able to get it sorted over the summer.

Started fitting my winch and winch bumper on saturday but it was total mare

My steering guard also uses the bumper mounting points so its a case of fitting 2 things in the same place

Had to modify the guard with an angle grinder but when just getting it into place i noticed it fouled the bumper somewhere else :Cry:

So it needs to come back off for some more fettling

I am also experimenting with the spare filter housing i got off Brian (cheers mate). Looking to remove the oil cooler from the oil circuit. No major improvement just something to do

Should tidy up the bay a bit without the hoses there, its one less place to leak and should make it easier to change the oil filter. In the place where the pipes attach I am going to fit the senders for oil pressure and temp guages. Later on I can then fit a full width ally rad with a FMIC in front of it
