Today removed pretty much all I need to in order to weld it up. It is not as bad as I expected under the carpet. This is yukky mold on the carpet: Driver's seat removed: Some one has been at it already: Bits of my Landy are doing a wee: I have no idea what this is supposed to be...

Yesterday there was still much rain: I did de-rusting of the roof bars but I did not take any pictures. Today there was no rain and a sun in the sky so I uncovered the beast and took the other door off and found more rust: I will weld it all up and do the box section sill...

Are you only going to fit one disc?

I have also been considering colour choices. I know I painted the door black but that doesn't really mean anything: it needed paint and I had some black, it can easily be changed. This is along the lines of what I am thinking: To be honest, it will probably end up being the gloss black...

Yeah, see if I'm going to build a complete up and over arrangement that will be robust enough it would basically be a shed and I am going to build one very soon anyway so I don't see the point. I have some timber I can use to make a work area and I will just have to go with that.

:p:p:p:p

Looks like I win the bet by default :p:p:p:D:D:D

That's basically what I had in mind, I have a load of 1 1/4" tube. It gets very windy but also gusty, which is what rips the tarp to bits. I could make a more solid structure but I'm going to build a shed very soon anyway, but I need the Landy to haul materials!

Aye so with the realisation that at this rate it will be winter before I know it, I thought I'd get my finger out and get the Discovery on the road. Some time ago the driver's door mostly fell off so I took it right off and welded it up and painted it: That was a few weeks ago, the other day...

Wait, what? I thought we was betting that there'd be a hole the size of Greece's deficit in that panel before the welding was done?

Proper old skool mechanicing! Can't do that today unless the computer has a "drill and helicoil" option :D:D:D

Alright then electric lighting, I'm watching...

Your Discovery 1 300 TDi is looking fantastic, I really like your choice of modifications! In fact a lot of what you are doing is what I am planning with mine, so don't accuse me of copying! Actually you can, I don't care, I'm still doing it how I want it!! When you getting out to play now...

Mr Google says it's a possibility:

Bet it turns in to a much bigger hole by the time the welding is done!

You are making good progress!

I had an in the olde days rant about red oxide just last week!

Things brings nice things to my brain!

Depends who you ask, Hippo would tell you Discoveries are worserer but he's full of ****e :D:D:D Out here on the west coast everything rusts to bits so it's to be expected. Your flange looks good :eek:

This is great stuff mate, keep it coming!
