Haven't had time to work on the Disco recently. I've dropped off the front bumper to be modified to suit the 2 inch body lift, and to be painted. I'll be picking it up next weekend. I also dropped off the drop plate for my tank guard to be modified to a better angle. I bought myself a hilift...

Hi, The colour code should be under the bonnet at the front (above radiator) - on the slam panel (i think that's what it's called). I also replaced my boot floor, couldn't find a sender unit cover (I think the part number is MWC1420) for a reasonable price so i bought this one from eBay -...

Brilliant, thanks for the explanation :)

Hi - thanks for that. Why would you not recommend a 3HP, 14CFM compressor with air gun, over smaller compressor and battery gun? I did look at battery guns before, but from a lot of reviews they didn't seem overly powerful - do you have any recommendations for a battery gun? Foz

Hi, I've been considering an air compressor for my garage, and an impact wrench to help with some of those hard to undo bolts, and to just make general life easier working on the Land Rover. My knowledge on air compressors isn't great, neither my knowledge on impact wrenchs - so I'm hoping...

Only a small update After spending a lot of time cleaning the boot floor, and the floor I made a start on painting. I went for Johnstones black paint rather than Hammerite, simply because it was cheaper - Almost half the price. It's very gloss, I might need to make it a bit matte somehow -...

I kept getting little puddles in my footwells when it rained, after some investigation it appeared that the problem was the seal around the top of the windscreen - there was no adhesive left so it wasn't water tight. So I put loads of sealant around the seal to hopefully rectify the problem...

Wow - this is very impressive. Really looking forward to the progress on this - fantastic job so far! Foz

Cheers guys. I don't mind if no one responds - It's nice for me to look back on what I've done so far. It might even give someone inspiration/motivation to give stuff a go themselves, and maybe I'll be able to help answer their questions if they have any. Foz

Went out for a drive yesterday and there was a knocking noise from under the car - pulled over and quickly discovered it was the prop making contact with a bracket that holds on my steering arm guard. You can see where it was making contact on the edge - So the grinder came out to make a...

I replaced the tailgate window seal today - never again. I thought it would be just a bit more difficult than the seal on the 1/4 panels, I was wrong. It was very frustrating. Old seal - particularly bad in the top corners. Stanley blade to cut around the seal to release the glass...

I wired up the LED lights for the rear and painted the chequer plate down my doors black. Foz

Wired up power to the box in the rear - it still needs a lid. Next up will be wiring up some rear interior lights. Foz

Thanks guys :) I fitted the tank guard today, in the rain... I'm happy with how the tank guard looks, bright yellow to add some colour etc. The problem is with the drop plate, now that it's fitted I can see an obvious problem. Now I'm thinking I'll have to get it modified so I can tow -...

I finished off the 1/4 today by fitting the extended arch. I started on swapping the wing over too, the current one was dented. Plenty of mud behind it Cleaned up Painted Old wing vs new one - not fitted yet. I also decided I want some colour on the car, so I thought i'd paint...

I didn't do as much as I had planned today due to somehow damaging my elbow. I fitted the new window seal and tinted the window. This was the first time tinting a window, and after some practice runs i went through a 1M length of film - which cost me about 7 quid so I can't complain really...

Painted bits all back on Then I started this task - swapping the rear 1/4 panels over. Basically i didn't like the chequer plate on the rear of mine. First of all i removed the chequer plate that was attached using rivets. Window out. Removed the pillar trim (3 bolts on the inside)...

Shiny new bits! Keep us posted with the progress - always nice to see one being rebuilt like this.

I didn't have much free time today but I painted a couple of bits. The rear end was let down by the rusty spare, so until I get a replacement I've painted it with hammerite. Whilst it was off, I painted the spare carrier too. I painted the chequer plate along the bottom of the rear door...

You should keep the thread updated Press, I'm interested in the progress :) But looking good, nice to see it a but muddy and I like the wheels. As you say, everything else you've done won't be seen! Foz
