Always an awkward repair but more so when you’ve got to ensure it doesn’t knock out your lining up across the rest of the repairs.
Test fitting is a must. Takes longer but I don’t want to find I’m out on my boot floor which would then knock on to my offside repairs.
The repair panels only cover...
Can you let me know if you plan anything else in near future? I’m keen to do a bit in pig. Apart from private land that day I had a go in yours is last time I went. Years ago now. Time flies
There’s a very good looking coniston green one on eBay at the moment that’s spent a lot of time at famous four. It’s up for 4k and I’d say it’s worth that 👍🏻
Manual 300tdi
Add a grand and there’s a clean one for sale on here.
You’ll struggle at 2k unless you find someone who doesn’t know that they’re getting a bit rare.
If they don’t know it’s getting rare, then they don’t know D1s and more importantly the rust won’t have been addressed!
Got the suspension section welded in then stopped and moved onto my other D1 as thought I’d left my drill at home.
Turned out to be in back of truck whole time 😂
I think, I’ve just fuel tank strap bracket left to do on chassis.

I said my earth was too tired and in the way so he made me a nice thick one up with a new clamp.
Annoyingly, I assumed it would be a post earth but it’s not. It’s a daft hard...
Bit more tidying up. This was rusty and flaking everywhere. I meant to only clean up where my fuse box earths but ended up taking the lot back to metal.
Epoxy primered then only had half a can of black left so used some caliper paint
She does look clean from outside!
Manual?
you want to add pics of boot floor, arches, inner wings, body mounts, rear crossmember, pillar bottoms etc to get one of us to get our wallet out mate 👍🏻
Under the panel under your steering wheel there’s satellite fuse box. Should be labelled on the back of the panel mate. Got a little box strapped to it called your MFU which controls courtesy light timings etc
Don’t know why this has just come up for me but I’ll put all my edc stuff for sale on here shortly when I go through the shed as I’ve got the injectors, pump etc 👍🏻 PM me if of interest and I’ll let you know when I list it 👍🏻
