Hello All,

The time is coming near to replaced the driver side inner wing of my Disco. I will not be doing the welding but I would like to do as much of the prep work as I can. To me it looks really awkward to get at especially at the top under the power steering. Anyone any tips or experience on this?

The passenger side has three golf ball size holes in it which I assume is ok to patch?

Thank You

if its the full wing your replaceing do yourself and your landy a big favour

strip all the carpets and the rubber watersponge **** out of the front and chip the thick crusty mat stuff off the footwell behind the pedals as this stuff is mental for catching fire and a total bastard to put out also remove the kick pannel on the drivers side footwell and lift the wires and relays up out of the way ( these are a nightmare to splice back together after theyve been singed or burned

this bit of prepwork normally gets leaft to the welder wich i hate doing this job as its time consumeing and awkward ( trus me whoever does your welding will thank you for it ) i know i would

I did mine a couple of years ago, it's actually not as difficult as you might think, there are pics on here somewhere.
as for replacements - repair panels and body mounts for all Landrovers, including Range Rover Classic, Defender, Series, Discovery
