Muddy:
Good point there sills or inner wings need doing?

on the subject of angle grinders buy the best you can afford as they dont seem to last too long(well not at my house anyway) we have an industrial hitachi one at the moment frome screwfix(about £50 i think) which has a faster spin speed than other models and seems to do well has stood up pretty good so far.

If you have msn fell free to add me and i wil be happy to discuss landys and such projects with you as i'm sure a few other members are; my addy is will.mawby@uwclub.net should anyone wish to add me.

Cheers, Will.

Sounds to me like a huge job to take on as a first project. I am guessing it isnt as simple as angle grind it and oh lok how lovely it is. you will need to weld the back door area back on and with the step in the roof I dont think it will be that easy. You can take bits off but very hard to put them back on again!!!

One day I will learn to weld too but for now I do easy things like rock sliders, tyres, drive shafts, hand brakes etc. Even the snorkle I would have got wrong if it wasnt for a mate helping me.

Im 25 and have inherited loads of tools off my Dad. Some I may never use others I use all the time.

As we keep getting told in my voluntary group health and safety talk "dont guess but learn" Have you thought of an evening course in welding?

BTW

Dont be sorry about it. it's what forums are here for. The lengths mud clubbers have gone to help me is amazing for example me taking a photo of something and then emailing it to them then they reply with the photo and arrows and all the arrows are numbered so I can talk to them whilst looking at the photo and they are the other end of the country. MC is ultra friendly and most people will go that extra mile to help anyone. Just look at MC express as a great example.

So dont appologise and your not being a pain!!!!

Sam I'm in Rugby and whilst I'm happy to help with various bits and pieces... I'd pay attention to the advice here... cut your teeth on something smaller to gain experience and knowledge.

For instance, did you realise that as you'll have to cut the Chassis, you'll need to get the car SVA tested...? Big job and important to get right.

Ahhhh ok i dont think im going to bother with that now i love my disco to much for all that hassle, when the extra space may come in handy for my kayaking  :lol:  And the rear floor has just been replaced before i bought it, so cant really redo that! But im thinking of getting a two inch lift, i have heard they are not too hard to fit?? I've heard the spacers are better than springs+shocks? And does anyone know how to fix the ciggarette lighter we need it for the sat nav!
Thankyou all your a great help :)
Sam
