Maverik Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I see you went for the total removal, as apposed to the cut and insert option... I think this is the way to go, but £250 for 1 new wing as well as all the other steel repair panel, its not cheap at all... I'm sat on the fence at the moment with my Disco re-build, I've found a slightly less complete wing section for 1/2 as much ££ it doesn't;t include the light front assembly, it comes in a little better with my budget... but I just don't know... Looks nice and tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alland Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 hi maverick yes it is v expensive its from yrm metals ive opted for the weld together yourself option lightbox £75.00 and bays 80 pound ive got lots to do but ive set myself a tast to turn this old shed into a as good minter getting there ..and i like a 200tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I took the plunge for the "1/2" inner wing! It should help me along hopefully. Your work looks really tidy! and I'm quite jealous you're on as far as you are I decided to go with butt welding my new panels to try give extra stiffening to my repairs as I've got an extra heavy body due to the role cage, certainly makes a more time consuming process to fix the panels on, also trying to put some heavier plate in places to try avoid cracking/buckling that I found on mine. but anyways I rant. A really tidy job, that with a lick of paint will look factory unless you start really looking hard!, something about driving a freshly welded Discovery feels tremendously solid! :i-m_so_happy: :i-m_so_happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alland Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 yes i know what you mean i diddn't find the spot welds that impressive so ive tack welded it every other inch or so to help im absolutely knakared its more or less there just bits now on to boot floor next week and rear crossmember then ive got other side floor and bay then its ok by me some more piccies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alland Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 hi well it was a nightmare to cut the new front of the headlight box to fit the trimmed down 200 front of the panel but i got there . ive managed to coat it all in a type of shutz underneath that comes out v proffesional so im quite chuffed . so im onto the back end omg what the have i done lol well ive took off the rear quarter panels and the inner quarters arned rotten but seen better days . but ive had some luck a mate that has a broken low mileage 200 has mint quarters so im going to remove them spotwelds and put them on mine and the whole boot floor and crossmember i know the landy is not worth it but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
