Looking good I've just removed the rear seats on mine and fitted a sheet of 18mm ply to cover the full floor area all the way upto the back of the front seats. gives me a bit of hidden storage under the floor behind both front seats and leaves the load bay empty for all me tools/materials when I'm working.
 
i'm just starting on the same thing with my disco ....so keep the piccys comin ..i'v got most of the stuff together .
i just need to get the time to do it now ....i'v rebuilt the engine so thats ready to go back in , and i plan to strip the rear out as you have done ....just out of interest what size tyres do you have on ?? as i have a set on my 90 that i would like to fit to the disco but they are 33/1250/15 ..so it'll need some choppin .... i also plan a slight lift aswell so thats in the plan...

Not had chance to check on you rprogress this week, but it's looking good.
Just started stripping out my interior trim tonight, thankfully it's looking in good condition so far. Although I thought I was gonna go through a corner of the boot floor for a moment.

I've just waxyoiled my arches so now I can refer to your pics to know what other parts to waxyoil.

Keep the updates going if you get chance.

got bored as i finished work early friday afternoon so i stumbled down to my local land rover shop and bought one of these high lit jacks, mounted it then hammerited the rear door completely as it had rust patches on the corners, again to my personal taste maybe not to others but i like it:D
