    Thank you. I have built a nice sized work shop, Ive got more than enough tools for the job, a good welder, benches ect and a 4 foot folder and guillotine all i need is 3 phase fitting to power the guillotine and compressor and im away. I am considering taking on work like this as a side line...

    I wouldnt consider the work you need to do to your disco as major as taking out the entire sill of a D1. Admitted its in an akward position but its not bad really. Ive done a lot of welding on mates vehicles and only charged 20 or 30 quid to cover gas ! I need to re-evaluate my charges...

    £280 to patch a sill and you have to make the cuts ? Im in the wrong job ! The last discovery sill i patched i patched with a brand new inner and outer sill. Reckon i should start taking on work like this if thats what it pays.

    AH found them :) To be fair it dont look bad, all easy repair work . Your lower door posts and mine :) Yours is a small amount of cutting out the rot and patching, The redi disco i did was a little more of a job than patching. What is it with discos and dogs :D

    hi ya .

    Only got a picture of the rear end before and after i repaired it after some one ran into the back of me a few years ago. I took the roof lning out a few years ago to sort leaks and never put it back in, the boot floor is gone and the inner wings. Its got 250,000 miles on the clock so i...

    The most solid part of the rear cross member was the center bit the rest was rust. After i had finished with it you couldnt tell it had had a repair, it was one job i was really pleased with.

    Here are the photos from the guy who bought it off me. Hes done one hell of a job on it now but considering its the oldest known to exist im not surprised they pulled out all the stops !

    This is a tiny fraction of what i did to it, basically the whole chassis and both axles fully restored all new nuts , bolts and a few other parts from Dunsfold brakes were pattern parts . I located all origonal front panels ect so it was complete. I dont like the slab sides on the series...
