Hi

I need help lads.  I am having the rear cross member replaced and the trouble is it far worst that I imagined.

Basically at first I though it need an A pillar welding in. So I got another cut off a Disco shell. But when the rear quarter panel was removed it showed that it had gone in the seam around the arch and down the back of the boot. Also the wheel arch was corroded at the back. We looked at a new panel but LR reckon its obsolete.

Failing putting a new panel in I could settle for a second hand one. But it must be rust free.  

So I need somebody with a Disco body shell that doesn't mind cutting out the section that the rear dickie seats mount including the rear wheel arch.

You will have to take the rear quarter off to get at it.

Anyone got a one they are going to scrap?

It either that or its curtains for Pinky.

Cheers

John

Oh dear,

After everything you did with mine Mick I didn't think "terminal" was in your vocabulary, hope something can be done to save Pinky.

Start a "Save Pinky" campaign.  ;)

Basically if I can't get the panel I'll have to go and buy another Disco. At £1500 upwards for a P or R reg late model 300Tdi and then about 3 weeks of work to transfer everything over is it worth while...

Rock and a hard place...

What to do...
