The rebirth of my off road Discovery

<< < (22/25) > >>

Jake:
I have now fitted some cool gauges into my Mudpod
First job was to drill two holes ( i used a 51mm holesaw)

Then i fitted the gauges in and set about wiring them in
All fitted and working

Theres a volt meter for my second battery

And a oil temperature gauge

They look sweet!

When you turn off the ignition they go dark

Kate reckons it looks like Johnny 5  :lol:

 :D

Little-Green-Machine:

Brilliant truck :D

boss:

Jake:
This week i have been mostly.....

preping for the MOT

First job was to remove the winch

Then off to work and continued stripping the front on the ramp

Removed all the battery/alarm and fuse box

There's a fair amount of rot under the battery tray, front light housing and arch

The drivers side sill was a bit ropy too

That was soon cut out

Whilst the car was being welded by Nick i set about some other jobs on the car. First one was to strip, rub down and paint the winch

Sill repaired

Nick started cutting out the front end next

While i set about fitting a contactor to control the winch

I started sorting out loads of wiring too
This mess

to this

I painted the winch motor and drum with matt black

Then i primed the rest of the winch

I then painted the parts in Rover gunmetal silver (which is identical to the XD9000 colour)

The finished winch

I have a new Warn sticker for the middle which i'll put on in a couple of days
Meanwhile, Nick was hard at work at the front of the car





I tidied up the wiring under the car.  I put protective trunking on all the cables and p clipped them to the car





I made all the wiring on the front look nice too

New battery tray in (ASR1400)

Underneth looking great

Pretty neat 'eh

Then i covered it in anti stone chip under seal



All back together and parked in the rain

The MOT is at the end of August
Should be a breeze
 :D
