Hi Stan, mine always hit the A pillar, for years, but one day I decided to have a look, why they hit the a pillar , so removed the bonnet and slid it forward a few inched removed the wiper arms, removed the lower pelum plastic cover to get to the wiper motor, to fine the complete assembly was...

maybe a D2 with a galv chassis, if it had a chassis then any other welding it may need, is probably already done

not totaly sure but is that panel not open at the bottom, if it is you can get a bumper in side to knoeck it out, plenty of companies who do it

I used self tappers and clips, as you dont need a rivit nut gun to do them

LOOKS LIKE YOUR THE MAN>>>

9 inch grinder with a cutting disc, just cut it off, then remove the stubs and the remains of the ball joints

I replaced the back end of mine a few years ago now the post does not seam to be avalable here now, any way here is a copy of the post for you to read, or follow this link https://landroverforums.com/forum/discovery-ii-18/busy-few-days-100311/

do you have any other photo's, , is the other side of the hole in good condition, and whats the rest of the chassis like going to the rear as that where they normaly go, as I mwondeering can you take off the bady mount the using 3 mm plate weld in a repair section, or two

You will need a serious look at you chassis to see if a 1/2 chassis is long enough and confirm its solid and will take a weld at the cut/joining point

yes had the same problem, I thought is was my PC blocking it and have kept trying to open the webpages, I dont do FB, so lets hoe it a fixable problem, after all that what theses forum are all about fixing stuff

when I removed mine it came out by pushing up on the filler side the pulling down on the opposite side

What ever you get add extra security, steering wheel lock , fuel pump isolation switch ,

my biggest problem was I had a full tank, hence tipping it over and siphoning out all the diesel, plus I had to find something to put it all in , my local garage very kindle gave me a new empty 200 ltrs oil drum,

When i took mine out to weld in a new back end chassis, I tipped it it on it side to away from the filler , the biggest problem I had was removing the hoses on the filler side , breather and the 3rd hose as it has one of thoses clips that need to be squezzed, same putting it back on the hose...

I agree with Andy I did mine 2 years ago been OK since

I had a large rust hole just under the windscreen on the driver side electic glued it up

Hi if you happy you dont have any rust after removing the front cowl, check the grommet were the wikring loom goes through mine looke Ok but were loss and needed a reseal

well I have owned my D2 now since, 2006, so I have not had 6 cars in the time as Ikept this one or bought an EV that cost's as much as 6 modern cars to make, so by my calc I save the planet loads

For all the folk that want to go electric watch this

These are the video I watched to do my headliner
