is it a manuel disco. how long does it take to do that, I never would have thought mine would be so simple to take apart, only thought defenders looked as simple as that.

yip manual 4-5 hrs to take the body off, fine an easy to do as easy as a defender its had nearly two weeks of cleaning and painting 3 coats then dynawax waiting on a few bits to come probably be another coulpe of weeks before its back together

Wow,

That surprises me some what. I thought there would be flaking paint and surface rust but nothing more. Would be interested to see some images. Looks well so far.

I never looked, just never thought it would be as easy to take apart. really want a 110 crewcab pickup after the disco, 300tdi-not to be fussy like. I cant work at cars or stuff but liked helping a friend out on his defender, not into the electric crap, and no room that a lot of cars/jeeps have got now.

it will be a great job when u have finished, I do like mine just cant see me going to that bother or paying someone to do it, could u imagine the bill

 

[J428TGS]

someone to do it, could u imagine the bill

That would be crazy

 

[J428TGS]

Roost

Poor pic that’s the patch under the chassis rail same at the other side

Going together

Bits to go on yet

Good job there
seeing that, like to do mine

3 things against it
knowing where to start
lack of time
no 2 post ramp

 

[Mursal]

We find Fiberglass resin good on the welds to completely seal them from moisture. Or a bit of Isopon P40 on your finger. Dog doesn't seem to bothered .............

 

[wdah/him]

I agree with the dog

 

[J428TGS]

Dog is just pee’d off an the other 2 have pee’d off somewhere
