    So we have found our first bit of rust







    this is at the back on the drivers side near the outrigger it was basically where the feet of the tray sat, so no doubt had trapped moisture there (only on this side though which is odd).... Hoping this will just be a chop out and a weld in section. this is all we have found so far..decided to dismount the cab and have a look as well..would hate to do everything to find a hole under there after everything is back together.

    Also took some pics of the tray
    See what I mean about it needing a new floor...or do you think it will buff out with a wire brush





    and a pic of the diff..



    still has the end of the half shaft stuck in it

    Thought this looked a little mashed too



    can anyone tell me whether there is any difference between a shorty rear diff and a LWB rear diff...not talking housings or anything just fitment of the diff as I have a diff here from a shorty which I can put in its place if there is no difference

    Narrowest Disco I have ever seen

    Regarding your rear diffs, 99% sure they are the same internals, as your LWB has the Rover type diff not Salisbury. Externals are a bit different in spring mounts I think.

    Front axle has now been removed



    As has the roof



    and also the seat box



    Gear box needs a bit of a clean to see if it has any leaks that are attracting that dirt.



    Hoping tomorrow the rear of the cab will come off then the only thing left to take off will be the engine which is happening on the 30th hopefully

    Soon as the engine is out I'm going to paint the chassis and assess the firewall to see if it is repairable or worth just getting another.

    Does anyone know also whether the quarter glass in the cab (not sure that's the right word) is the same as the glass in a Defender cab chassis.. the rubber on the glass has perished and wondering whether I can fit defender rubber seals for the glass or whether I have to buy series specific.
