There was one of those in the Garage when I took the truck in for it's MOT. There was also a welder type fella swearing like a trooper welding it up, it appears it was booked in last week for a simple, quick patch job on the N/S rear outer sill...

To date he's replaced both full sills (inner and outer) welded in more patch than boot floor and was starting on the passenger foot well as I left. Still to do drivers footwell (the middle bit's okay, but the bit round the edge... :lol: ) and both front inner wheel arches.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Everytime i meet a Disco owner i ask them how many floorpans they have had this week :D

Shame as they are capable trucks and generally a nice place to sit!
