Did a bit more to the bumper today, made the ends up that seemed to take forever, must have fitted it about 10 times lol.
Still need to make some ends up where the plastic corner trims are. Also made the middle mounting bracket to use the 2 14mm bolts in the chassis.
Didn't take many pictures while making it, was too busy cutting or grinding.

excellent work mate top fabricating you ought to consider making them for a living thanks for sharing pics

Thanks mate, if I had more spare time I would do. Plus I'm not set up properly to build stuff, doing this a bit at work and at my dad's driveway.
 
Rear bumper is now finished, will be sending it to the powder coaters tomorrow, hopefully it will get back to me before next weekend so I can tick that job off the list.
Started on the front bumper aswell today, and as I have a winch in the shed doing nothing I will be fitting that too. Here's how far I got with it today

Back bumper looks very rugged and well made. It'll probably outlast every Disco ever built. Looking forward to seeing them both finished and fitted. No doubt they'll look awesome.
 
Thanks mate, did think about it but we don't get much stuff galvanised anymore at work, would have saved some money without paying the handling charge the galvanisers screw you for. Think it was about £70 a couple years ago. Plus if it gets chipped it's going to rust anyway

Thanks, that's the idea really, don't want to be making them again lol. I can't wait to get it finished either.
How's your disco? Still going strong?
 
Made some progress on the front bumper today, trimmed the winch tray to the correct size and tack welded it on, bent both ends of the bumper back then cut and drilled the mounting plates which will hopefully get welded on next weekend.

I've also started to make a full roofrack made from aluminium, so if I get a chance next week I will cut and fold the sections up at work
