D1 300tdi build up

[disco_mitch]

Well it all starts here in december 2008 i landed myself a disco

its a 95 300tdi auto 130ks
old mans beige with tan interior

got it bog stock with some work that needed to be done for $5800

[Cap]

Pics? :D

[chunk]

Thats not a bad buy, gives you plenty of options to personalize the vehicle to your own taste.

I just bought a 98 man 300tdi with 180,000 for just over $12,000 but it doesn't need anything done to it, came with bull bar, tow bar, driving lights, up graded suspension, 120 lt fuel tank, UHF radio etc. Anything else I need I will take off the other one I have before I sell it.

[slug_burner]

jeep boy,

you done good.

[long stroke]

Piiiiics.......you know the:rulez::p

[disco_mitch]

pics are here and are more details of what i been up to on it

as soon as i got it a put a new header tank in as the old one was cracked in the hole on the top of it
got the tank and cap forr a $100

than chnged the oil and filter, put injector cleaner in and a new air filter

by this stage it was going so much better than the day i bought it

[disco_mitch]

a few things i kept from the jeep was

fridgemate fridge
otima big blue top
gme tx 3400

so i put the optima in it was a tight squeeze and had to make up a bracket to hold it in but it worked a treat

pic here when it works

got a smart solenoid from arb and it works great, i earthed it when putting it in and it wasnt working on its own so i set up an override fora few days than took the overide off and it worked how it should

than i put my uhf in i mounted the main unit up under the steering colum and the head unit works a treat here

pic here when it works

[disco_mitch]

the gme tx3400 is great with the hed unit it makes it so easy to find a place to put it, the main unit is near the steering colum, and the head unit is great where it is

well i got bored today and last weekend i re-arenged the gay plastic section on the front bar so i kinda removed it, looks much better

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ (http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=discofrontendbi4.jpg)

[disco_mitch]

been thinking about a cargo barrier, and want to know peoples thoughts on one out of a different car fitting, can one be modified or used and still be safe,
how do they normally mount into the car to hold so much pressure, im going to be settin up some draws nest to the fridge, with a middle section for the space case, and a section up top for lightweight things, simillar design to waht you see outback advertising

[disco_mitch]

well ive been thinking a lot about barwork, and the rearbar and sliders are the easy part, its the front bar that has me thinking, im planning on trying to make something myself, been thinking tube bar but now im thinking im going to find an arb bar(nice one) of ebay thats cheap and chop and weld to make it fit and suit the disco, chop the hoops off and prob just put one centre hoop, so whats you all think about that anyone wana sell a nice bar at a good price

For a cheap bar find an ARB bar off a classic rangie and then mod to your design, it will bolt straight on so thats the hardest part done.

i did look at them but they dont have the design i like but its a good idea however

[disco_mitch]

well i got me a welder today, so time to get to work,
also got some steel to make a fridge slide as this is where it will all begin, my plan it using angle steel ill be making a base for the fridge out of 40/40 angle with the 2 sides having the bottom edge facing out than a lenght of 75/75 angle down each side with 2 flat bars to hold them at the right width thses will have roller bearings which the fridge base will slide beetween hard to explain ill post pics as i go

Thats an interesting chop you've done to the bumper. I've had mine naturally re-aranged a few times now so I might do similar until I can afford a decent bar. Good work :BigThumb:

yea i gave mine a little ah nudge into a bank which left it a little ah rearanged, looks so much better with the bottom bit gone

[disco_mitch]

started on the fridge slide on the weekend and was going to use bearings for the slides but its going to work out cheaper to use heavy duty runners, pics will come soon havent got much done yet but

[disco_mitch]

well i havent been making many updates.....ive been busy making some sliders...

there not finished, i started out with a chassis mounted one but that didnt work out how i wanted to i scapped that and made a body mounted one ive used a length of 50x25x3mm rhs sitting inside some 50x50x3mm anglei welded a step of that angling slightly upwards and than welded some plates tp mount i to the body than on the back side i have baking plates and so far it looks like this still got more work to were expecting a baby any moment so its slow going but getting there http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8932/dsc01166f.jpg

still have finish off the front end of it and tidy up the welds a bit than paint it but i think they will come up pretty schmikk

[disco_mitch]

well havent got anymore done been busy being a new dad,

been thinking that im not sure if the steps will support the car for a highlift so i been thinking would it be an idea to bend up 2 sections of plate one for the front and one for the rear and weld it to the angle underneath than bent up and out to the outer edge of the step with the centre having a flat area for the arm of the jack to rest would this help to get a good positioning and strengthen the step from wanting to flex

[long stroke]

Looking good:)

[4wd4fun]

Lookin good jeep boy,
I havent even started on my sliders yet Still playing with suspension, when i am happy with that i will post picks and start build thread.
Still looking at Flex Flares and Cutting Gards which would mean different design sliders.
Cheers Allan.:D

[disco_mitch]

Now that is a very good price:cool:
You can get the sahara bar look by buying a normal ARB winch bar and lopping the hoops off;)
Can't wait to see it:)

thought about it and that was plan A however i would than have to lop the centre hoop chrome dip it and weld it back on and with a standard bar it would look weird without the plastic caps on the front, and it would also be hard to get the sahara light provisions right, this way the hoop is done the plastic caps are on the light provisions are there and its ready for a low mount winch to

[disco_mitch]

well im going to tell me secrets a bit at a time its a bit of a tease i know but thats the whole idea muahaha.....

so the bar...its not of a disco 2 if thats what anyone was thinking

and something im excited about is the foglight spots are the big round ones
not the ones in the black plastic and with a little jazfab there will be a set of lightforce 140's in there wih yellow filters


does anyone have a pic of the mounts on an arb bar for a d1

[disco_mitch]

well progress has been a little stalled with our bub now here....
and now the missus has given me the boot
so ill be moving into my new place on the 10th april where ill have a single garage that ill be setting up a workshop in, until now ive had a garage with no acess to power so when i wanted to do work i had to go get all the gear and take it up to the house as the garage i had was a few streets away once i move into the new place it will be full steam ahead night and day, been looking at the bar and i think if it is to big height wise ill be able to take some of it what ya think

[4wd4fun]

Sorry to here the misses has given you the boot but good to see see your still progresing.
Do you still need photos of D1 ARB bar light mounts etc as I can take some pics and post for you if you like pluss any others you need.

yea trying to sort it out,

some pics of how the bar mounts would be really appreciated,

[disco_mitch]

i had the centre muffler taken out and a piece of pipe welded in on thursday and it has a little bit of a deeper note to it and goes a bit better, what im wondering now is how it goes with the rear muffler taken out of is it to much

[4wd4fun]

Will take some pictures tomorrow and post for you.
I like the ARB bar and it takes some good hits from trees and roos only ever had to replace blinkers and front plastic spoiler after I hit 3 roos in one night. :)

[4wd4fun]

Hi Jeep Boy,
Pictures as promised.
The outside plate is 4mm and mounted with three bolts and has a washer welded on at the recovery point one plate from back to front and strengthened by bar work.
The Inside fin plate grabs two of these bots and stops just in front of radiator support.
(plate each side of Chassis rail) Same each side.

[disco_mitch]

thanks heaps for that really appreciate it, been looking a lot at the bar and to make it fit and suit i will have to take about 100mm of each end, make new mounts to fit, and it will prob drop to low to suit the disco so i will have to take some of the bottom, i think i might be better of selling it making some coin in the process and settle for a standard d1 bar, and i also need the cash to do heaps of repairs to the disco

list of things i need to do

rear balljoint
all bushes
swivel hubs
valve clearances
timing belt
leaky gearbox
leaky engine

so i think ill sell the bar fund some needed maintnace and come up with anather idea for a bar

[4wd4fun]

What bar have you been looking at modifing, as you should be able to pick up a second hand ARB bar from wreckers /dismantlers and the like. :)

When I fit Flexi flares to mine and some mud tyres I will be modifying my bar slightly to suit as it works well when somthing hits you. :D:D
Strange how roos jump into the front of your car.:eek::eek:

ok ok the bar is of a pajero there ive spilt the beans lol, thing is the pajero has a much deeper front end than a disco and i just dont think the bar will suit unless i pretty much remake it using those materials, although would prob cost $400 to buy the materials to make a bar, but im pretty sure ill sell it and get a disco bar its not the bar that i want but its a lot less stuffing around

[disco_mitch]

well i dont have a great deal to tell about other than ive decided to sell the bar and just get a disco bar

and i move into the new place so ill be able to set up the garage and cut loose ill be finishing the sliders first im going to change them a little ill post details and pics soon, than im going to move on to setting up the cargo area than the front bar will get attacked

Great report mate. Looks like your doing loads of work :)

I like the home made barrier... may need to do something like this as I refuse to pay over $500 for a milford cargo barrier! :mad:

[Jezzaol]

G'day, good job so far mate,
I took both mufflers out of my 300Tdi Disco and although its a bit noisier it goes better !

yea i was really happy with the barrier i made it using some 25x25 rhs i had in the shed and i had an old bed frame ive been needing to take to the tip and it had the mesh on the bottom of it, its sturdy as the only part where i went wrong was the centre upright is smack in the way of the baby seat strap but it seems ok sitting next to it ive been thinking about making a window for it to go through so its centred

[disco_mitch]

G'day, good job so far mate,
I took both mufflers out of my 300Tdi Disco and although its a bit noisier it goes better !

yea even with just the centre muffler taken out i noticed a difference its not very noisy in the cab but aparently it can be heard from a distance

[disco_mitch]

well i was hoping to have the gearbox done yesty but its still a few days away atleast, as he is having trouble finding a govenor support bracket thats in good condition he said his found a few but there not in the condition that he is happy with so in the meantime i have been trawling ebay and last night i got a pair of narva 175 now i just need anather pair than the 4 will go across the roof im also trying to find roof racks at a decent price than ill either buy or make a basket which will be mounted at of the roof and will be about 1/2 to 3/4 length.....just bought 3 roof racks of ebay brand new for $115 to my door so next week with a bit of luck ill have her back with a heck of a lot of work on my hands, i also bought a new interior light as i hate having poor interior lights
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=130313686378

and ive got a twin tube fluro to go in the boot

[disco_mitch]

ill have it back from ats on tuesday he found a govenor housing in good nick cant wait, got so much work to do on it there are going to be some late nights in the shed coming up

[disco_mitch]

well im getting frustrated still havent got her back from the gearbox place first it was couldent get a govenor suppport now its that (memory blank) is leaking, i had a trip planned for this weekend and as much as he can give me is he hopes to have it done this week and the price is somewhere around 2k makes it hard to plan anything, on a positive roof racks turned up today interier light turned up yesterday

[disco_mitch]

well im not so frusated anymore, he thinks it will be done tomorow, it had a hydraulic lock from a leaking piston, his confident that it will be ready tomoz and thinks ill get change from $2200 so im a bit happier now, the trip however has been canned he wants me to run it in around town for a while first, so that will give me a chance to get to work on it my plans are
finish the boot, need to get the draw bent up from aluminium and carpet it
than fit the roof racks and make a basket
install interior lights
make rear bar
make swingaway
than lift the old girl and get out there
also fit a snorkel somewhere in there

[disco_mitch]

ok so today is the day

the smorning arivials were
d2 heater box but the core is the same so i can have my heater back
narva175 the first 2 for the roof
spoke to gearbox man and he is confident it will be ready the sarvo so i can pick it up and come home and transform the old girl ill post lots of pics and details as i do the work
not to bad on the box change out of $2200 and that was wuite a bit of work on it

[disco_mitch]

well i got her back and the gearbox is still no good $2200 later and its worse than it was when i took it up there got 40km all good than locked in first and now it wont go into gear full stop so they can organise it to be towed back to them pretty diddapointed but anyway

i got a bit done today
i put a new interior light in which im over the moon with, i got it off ebay its led and cost $25 http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2650/65140731.th.jpg (http://img29.imageshack.us/my.php?image=65140731.jpg)

i have wired it into the factory light so that it works with my doors and i can turn it off without adding switches

to get it to work i soldered some wires onto the back of the original light

i got that one on ebay there are heaps of different sorts, i also have a 12v fluro to go in the boot, if you get on ebay and type in 12v led there are a fair few pretty cheap, more pics tonight

[disco_mitch]

got the roof racks on, i bought them off ebay got 3 brand new for $95 and i must say im pretty happy with them, only trouble the ones i bought allow for 250mm clearance and the bars were just touching on the centre of the roof, i overcome this easily because on the legs the bars slide into provision for them instead i bolted the bars on top of this section(there only there till i make a basket which will bolt up to the legs i only bought them for the legs as i wanted proper looking legs not homemade looking ones)

been starting on the roof lights, i wanted them to be as close to the roof as they could so when i put the basket on if something hangs out the front it can go above the lights, i made the light bar out of some 30mm rhs

im happy now, the owner of the gearbox shop came to work this morning and picked her up and had it back to me in time to go home from work turned out the o ring on the filter had a nick in it and was allowing fluid to pass must say she drove like a dream on the way home and seemed to have a bit more go to

well we went out today and she went pretty good but i bent both side step up and had to get out the window all day so im going to have to redisgn them rather than just having a section sitting under the sill im thinking a c section that slides up over the box sill section with a step of that
