Picked up the V8 disco yesterday, loving that 8 pot grumble!

Will be busting out the welder/grinder and comencing surgery on the other Disco later this arvo!
 
got it through its mot did most of the work prior to sending it in first time and only failed on a few bits cost me £20 to fix the rest so i am very happy today
 
got the wheel back on the old 90 and got the 2 spare rims welded and drilled as the other 1, tyres fitted and into the garage for balancing .

i have one off the rear door of my 90 not sure where it is though :p
 
i'm looking to carry 2 spares think 1 will mount on the side on top of the mud gaurd in the tube and thinking of fixing a steel plate over the tailgait and hang 1 off there
as i have a big waterproof ali box that sits in the bottom of the tub.

think pikey off to taffland in the not too distant future...also a lanin weekend is on soon
 
I gave mine a quick wash so I can see out the windows and then fitted new bulbs to my dash. I can now see the fuel gauge, hot/cold, blower up and down and fan position in the dark. Nearly had a heart attack when I popped into halfords and they were £2 a bulb. My heart slowed down a bit when they cam down to 45p each with the use of my trade card. Still bloody pricey though.

Prep work for the re-spray...Took as many lights, grills, guards off as possible, sanded her down...filled a few holes and splits in the bodywork. then I sanded her down and used about 50 bin liners and a ton of paper to cover everything thats not going to be painted..

1 indicator light cracked, 1 bulb rusted solid to its housing..1 rear eyebrow loose...all fixed, pleased there was no real issues..

Only took 8 hours...and this beer tastes like nectar...early start tomorrow.
