forklift Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi guys Im new here but I have been lurking for a while and I find the practical posts both helpful and interesting.I have nearly finished getting my hideously rusty Discovery ready for its MOT and have had to do LOADS of cutting and welding. I have taken a lot of pictures along the way but for now take a look at the sills after I popped the plastic Is this extreme or the norm for a 93 Disco? Anybody fixed up one thats worse or am I nuts? More pics to follow.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I see your rusty Disco and raise you: One very rusty Range Rover!!! I haven't updated my vehicle thread with the pictures of the rear floor and rear cross member yet, but needless to say, it wasn't much better than the sills!!!

LandyManLuke Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Last week i was working on someone's disco which looked pretty much like that, also, the inner wheel arches on the front were all but gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yep, My disco looked a lot like that when I bought it - a 91 model... i have done the rear floor, the sills, and the drivers side inner wing/footwell. Still to do are the rear body mounts, the other inner wing, the bottom of the d-piilars.... the list goes on.... enjoy, don't you just love land rover ownership?

Corrode Finger Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Another classic example of a rusty rangey before the grinder even appeared! Gave up and built the hybrid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav- Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 my 93 disco looks very similar, thankfully it cost me f all. i made some new box section sills in the end, but now its missing all its rear end and is being turned into a tray back, so much easier!

Les Henson Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I reckon I can beat that. Not all the pictures of the work - I also had to weld the inner wing inside corners back together right from under the battery tray to the bulkhead on one side, and half way along to the bulkhead on the other. Also front body mount on the passenger side, plates to the footwell floor, and top of the rear wheel arch. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainDB Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I guess I am lucky with my Disco then! Just both front inner wings have cup sized holes and a small strip about the size of a pencil on the rear floor. I took the effort whilst inspecting her at work to sand of the underside and stone chip her in every conceivable place, she looks like new underneath now. Very handy having the use of vehicle lifts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
