Dunno about parking in the sea but it certainly rotted out quickly, its only been seven months since its last MOT and it passed that with no advises, how does that work?

Mine's back, with the sills replaced by box section steel (4mm thick in place of the original 1mm) and a lot of waxoil. Very neat job and should last the next twelve years!

Few people have asked me on the correct way to repair seat belt mountings, so they are as good if not stronger than original, and will fly the MOT test, Few pics for you to browse over........


Start by removing as much affected area as possable, to give a goot area to weld to,


You can buy an inner arch panel, but i like to fabricate my own, return edge to make a stonger panel once welded in to arch, i use a set of panel rollers to give a good radius, but bending the panel around a gas bottle will do the same job,


Return edge



Trying panel for fitment, perfect radius



On the return edge stamp out spiot weld holes



Fully seam weld panel in place



welded in place



Mark out seat belt mounting hold and drill a little bigger than the bolt



Make up a strengthning panel that fits under the arch as ther original did, this needs to by 1.5mm or thicker, bent to rdius of arch,


Will post more pics in a bit, just eating my dinner  :grin:

Top job Mick.

This has turned into THE definative thread of how to tackle major welding on the typical Disco problem areas. I for one will find this invaluable in the future.

Thanks a lot.

Will definitely help me out in the future...mainly because I have a child sized hole in my boot floor where it's gone through!

I am actually shocked and appalled that it actually got through the last MOT!!!

Ok last thread for the night or should i say morning, that's me done, 18 hour day is just right me thinks, enjoy frank  :grin:



More rot found on the inner wheel arch



This looking up where the "C" pillar meets the inner arch, or should!



Rot removed,



New panel formed on my metal rollers, give a perfect radius to match the wheel arch



Panel welded in, this will get double welded inside and out,then a new rubber weather trim fitted once sealed and stone chipped



And Finally the new driver arch in place and welded, door on again just check fitment, and it fits as good as the day it left Solihull, sweet,



Will post final pics soon as i wake up, which will be late i'm sure  :grin:

Thanks Mick,

I know its costing me a small fortune but to see the way you go about your work is worth it, I'm glad the back end is nearing completion, it'll be nice to get the old girl back.

Then roll on new year when you can have her back again to get the front end sorted.  :)
