    Fully red oxide know, little more welding to do on the chassis, then it's waxoyoil chassis black paint. Still a long way to go.

    Evening folks, since owning my disco 1 which has turned out to be a bit of mammoth project ive come to realise i want a disco 2 as my daily drive around vehicle. Ideally a td5 manual, im not to fussed about colour however i DO NOT like the gold ones. It would be handy if it had 12months mot as I...

    what do people think about this. the rear crossmember is completely gone, theres no way its just a patch up job. a new one is £150 and I'm not willing to pay that. Can you just put some box section in?

    Yess indeed, I had to cut the tube where the bolt goes through, i nearly left it but then i thought no don't be stupid! yep, im going to work on it in sections, so that i hopefully dont miss anything.

    thanks for that @resto_d1 , glad your still around. I may ask you some other questions at some stage. I'll post them in this thread for the benefit of other people later on. I've started work on the chassis now, every time i go underneath i find another little area with a hole in it. Painful to...

    Gave her a good deep jetwash today, nice and clean now however I have been left with my heart sinking further due to sights being seen that cannot be unseen. However the rust that I uncovered isn't to horrendous enough for me to quit just yet. Does anyone know what gauge metal the chassis is...

    I'm hoping to keep it stock as possible however also keeping a good amount of off roading ability. I'm not going to be sticking any light bars or funky bumpers on it.

    Thanks @jwrrc Yep I'm definitely hoping to get the chassis completely secure for the future. Precisely, since having a lift I don't believe it's going to be necessary for the stuff I do, not worth the drivability problems. I firmly believe that landrovers are a Great starter project car apart...

    I don't exactly help myself much do I. Yes, I believe it had a extended breathers in a few places but its best to have them on everything

    I'm having a strong feeling that I should revert this 200tdi back to its original factory state. And then go for a camal trophy approach to the off road modifications, fairly simple ones that aren't very obvious from the outside. But we'll see what happens when we get there. Thing's I plan to do...

    Hi folks, bit of an update on the 200tdi, I've had enough of her and decided to just pull her to bits and sell her for parts. Hopefully those of you who have had enough sense to carry on reading before posting abuse I haven't decided to do that at all. As much of bitch this is turning out...

    Thanks, one of the reasons I bought it, a great atarte project car (apart from rust)

    I Beg to differ, I wish it was summer, when it's dryer, it's rather annoying having to keep everything dry and what not

    Indeed, at the moment I'm thinking of just removing the immobilizer completely, haveing a push button start and prehaps magnetically operated kill switch somewhere, but we'll see what happens. Main priority at the moment is repairing and stopping rust in the body and completely rust proofing the...

    That's what I'm hoping for, a solid everything! Yes I forgot to mention that I managed to get it started by using a battery starter pack in the starter motor, however it cut out when you try and increase the revs, obviously the fuel solanoid cut off. Now it's in pieces hopefully I can do a more...
