Hey Folks, after many hours of gentle pestering a mate finaly agreed to let me use a corner of his works yard to get to work on my rotten 200tdi Disco.
I had forgoten how hard it is to work on old dirty rotten rusty old motors, my knees and shoulders/neck were complaining at night but, I have the satisfaction of being able to repair it!. no spotty kid saying nah, can't fix that grandad! like in the computer shop. ( i ain't that old! ****** cheeky sod) anyway rain stopped play, so I shall post a couple o pic's to share we you kind folks. My mate was really impressed with the cut 40, and had to play with it, all I could do is watch!
Once we get all the floor out, we'll make some patches for the odd holes and then fit the new floor panel. unlike some PO who had the floor patched previously, lots of patches and effort, then absolutly NO paint/rust prevention, just chuck the inteiror back and get rid.....
BTW The compressor and the cut40 in the pic are both running from the same extention reel ! My friend doesn't use eye protection!!! his choice! I have a grade 5 green full face sheild when cutting, works for me!
Will up date post when the weather/work progresses... Chears All, Dusty.
