Sills and rear crossmember

<< < (2/3) > >>

hobbit:
Sills are loose on the ally outer skin but thats another story, I started out refitting the rear seats forward to where they should be on a standard disco, found the floor like that  before i was going to weld the frame in

plated it now need to dress the welds down and seal up then fit the seat framing

the outer sills (plastics) on one side is missing got a replacement for that, but the ally sill is also loose, one side screwed and sealed in the other side (driver's still loose, another to do job)

Also the boot area was gone along the back see the pics updated

loadsa work, it will be like an armoured car with all the new metal on it   :)  :)

Cheers Kev

Your pics have given me a good insight - and inspiration.
It's actually the rear body crossmember ( not chassis ) thats gone a bit on mine, around the body mounting area on the drivers side - it's nowhere as bad as yours was though.
Quality repair - should last another 10 years !

I would still like to hear from anyone who has replaced it for a new one

It's a shame that whoever did the stretch on it didn't seal everything up.

Good luck with it Kev. You weren't put off by the work at the back so no doubt you'll crack on with it.

hobbit:
Floor's now done, & sealed, just need to fabricate the box tubing for the seat mountings, Ed if you get the chance can you measure from the rear of your centre box to the front of the rear seat bar at the front bottom of the seat, I can figure out where exactly to put the frame then
Cheers  Kev

Wanderer:
It's 350mm from the front of the bar to the front/back of the console where the rectangular cut out for the ??? is.
