Hi Guys,

I been after a new steel bull bar for my 96 disco for a while.

My dad is over on holidays and decided to make one up for me.

We went out and purchased some steel the other day and he has started work. Hopefully will be ready by the end of the week. Will post some pics later with progress.

Check this out

Links and Downloads Manager - Australian Land Rover Owners (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=2&id=69)

Also try and make the photos smaller. Pics from a 2MP phone camera usually upload pretty well. But pics from a higher MP camera usually take a while

Looking forward to the pics as well mate

This might sound like a really stupid thing to say....

Did he have a dodgy maltese accent and walk like he was on speed? Na just kidding.

He is here from Malta, I stupidly told him i want a bull bar now im getting a bull bar rock sliders and rear bar so i think i might be in need of some new springs too after all this is done. :)
