Yeah… need a load more panels though
You need the z piece mate
This one https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-cross-member-floor-support-lr-discovery-1/
@K2tnt You can measure the spot welded brackets from your existing one, chop the lot out, drill the bracket spot welds out then weld them back on to your new one.
If your front z piece has gone, you can buy another side support piece then cut out your front z support. You’ll have to measure again and rivnut some m6 threads in for the brackets that go on your rear seat bars

Just shout if unsure mate. No pro but I’ve gutted one before and got mine in bits now. I’ll update the thread with the bits that need ticking off so it helps others also

Great job, it'll be like a brand new car by the time you finish.
Thank you sir
A bloody fiddly job. Angles, twists and tiny pieces. You can see that the crossmember is supposed to be sandwiched between inner and outer skin. I wonder how many actually do this as you have to chop off a bit more than you’d want to. My pencil is pointing to crossmember piece. Little gap too where my weld pulled down a touch due to heat but I can hammer that out
I’ve purposely left a gap at bottom of pillar for wax to get out. There’s bungs the other side, all the way up so you can get dynax or dinitrol everywhere.

@KISSMYAURA you were after some HD terrafirma shocks weren’t you?! 
Time to check everything lines up! Also repaired the pillar and neatened it right up. I’m going to chop the bottom off other side and repeat the process as it’s so much tidier and I hate it when this area looks scabby. You really notice it on discos when you open the rear door,
Anyway, there’s 3mm difference which could actually be where I’m lining up to old arch. Well within 90s Land Rover tolerances!
Not sure what the panels are coated in but it’s good stuff. Takes a lot to wire brush it off.
