Hi guys,
New to the forum and LR club scene, learning alot thanks to u guys, really nice rides too. owning the disco has forced me learn and appreciate alot.
owned my first ever LR disco for just over 2 years now. 'R' reg, silver xs standard as far as im aware.
initially thought it would just see me through the next couple of winters until i decided on a 90 or 110. (when i say decided i mean saved up
haha) few family members own them n liked them from the start.
Anyhoo, with 94,500 on the clock on date of purchase thought she was a bargain. solid body on the outside,only 1 little car park nick on drivers door, solid chassis, no smoke, pulled well, good mpg for a truck that age & size & no engine knocks.
2 years have passed and im hooked. would like to start having some fun in her and with being new to the whole off road green laning scene i thought id just treat the whole car to a lil hammerite n waxoil.
pulled back carpets n found the usual (so iv been told) so i stripped interior n set about making my very own Flintstones car:
started welding some sheet and angle in place ready for the the new floor (8mm chequer plate 900 x 1800 powder coated black) prob going to split in two. the plan is to use st/stl countersunk bolts so the whole floor is removable and a few swivel eyelets for tie-downs (future plans taken into consideration) and replace the cross-members for support along with seatbelt mounts.
New to welding too so plz dont hold it against me![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
next up is to fit my home-made pneumatic operated side and back step so my d-abled daughter can get in so its future proof.
more pics to follow shortly.
Greatfull for any advice (besides scrapping the dam thing
)
