Good job :)

I think that old Discos are gonna be getting rarer and rarer in the next few years... ya only have to look at how many 'Disco 200tdi to 90/110 conversion kits' are being sold everywhere and how many are being broken!

yep your dead right this one was one of the first 300 out but it didnt seem to have mega rot in it like the front inner wheel arches were ace door pillars were good the boot floor was ok, but shes was a women and saw it and wanted it changed fabbed up two new sills,and a body mount,a larger plate for the front seat belt mount, and rolled a piece of 2mm for the back wheel arch seatbelt mount as it was looking a bit ripe:p so shes got a good landy for a few years now:D i hope;)
 
I took the diff out of a spare axle and stuck it in the one on the chassis, then took the callipers off of the spare axle ready to clean up and paint
