Thanks guys. I never even noticed the two drivers seats, too late now! I’ll definitely need to check the lines, I now have to source a new AC line because I cut right through one with my grinder, it scared the shit out of me......took me a second to realize what I’d done. Thank goodness I am...

Ahh, ok....I'll look for that. Thanks for the suggestion. I picked up my front seats today. Obviously I have deviated some from the original color scheme, but I like it. Once I get the thing back together I am going to redo the rear seat, carpet and some other parts.

It is a classic bumper, yes. The only other conflict I had was the AC line barely hit the top of a weld where it mounts to the frame. I don't know what the hell those plates are for, they never really bothered me before, but man they are pretty ugly. I might take them off, but they are...

I got the bumper and winch mounted this afternoon. The radio antenna mount is preventing the hood from closing all the way, so I will need to do a little trimming there. I wish I would of realized that before I powder coated, but I should be able to touch up the paint ok. Also, what has...

Well, I have slowed down a little.........I sold my house and am scrambling to get some things in order and move. I did pick up my bumper and springs from the powder coat shop and hope to get my seats back this week too. I'll at least get my front end back together in the next several days...

Agreed, I had no idea this had so much rust or I would of never gotten it. I'm in it now and am committed to fixing it.

Thanks for the comments. My nightmare continues........haha. I had not really messed around with the rear load space yet mostly because I knew what I would find. Anyway, got most of it cut out and have to cut some more out and order a new piece. I also got a couple of parts painted. What...

Not much in terms of pictures, but here are a few. I sprayed bed liner on the sill and ran it up about 6 inches onto the door pillars and also sprayed the floor pans. I did it on the pillars mostly because matching 20+ year old paint will be impossible and the contrasting black looks good...

I had some time this afternoon to mess around. I got the passenger B-Pillar Bottom replaced and repaired a couple of bad spots on the sill. I also got the seat frames welded back in place. I was not really happy with the install job that someone did before me, so I used some 3/4" angle to make...

I have about $530 in the parts delivered to my door (in less than 1 week). The quality is great they saved me an insane amount of time. I?ll have maybe $200 in consumables, additional sheet metal and of course my time which is so far about 15 hours. I?m not sure I?d of gone this route had I...

Repaired my brake lines today and finished the drivers side. I need to weld the seat bases, paint it and put it back together. Hopefully I'll tackle the passenger door pillars next weekend.

It's not horrible, but I'd rather be doing something else for sure. I have been pretty careful so far. The only thing that's gotten a little out of whack was the A-Pillar. I knew it would happen, but when you weld that joint it wants to draw the entire piece out some (away from the truck)...

I got a Delivery from YRM this week and had some time today to mess with it. I got the A Pillar bottom, Inner Sill, Outter Sill and a couple brackets welded in today. I hope to get the pans installed tomorrow if I have time and wrap the drivers side up. Also posted are a couple of...

YRM makes replacement pillars and Sill pieces to fix that. I just ordered a pile of stuff to fix my project from them. I don’t think the replacement pillars are quite tall enough to correct all the rotten door seal strip, but that would be easy enough to figure out. Personally, I hate...

This is my first Discovery, I own a couple of Series Trucks and have had a couple of Classics. I got this truck last week and intend to correct what's wrong and hang on to it for a while. After poking around it for a while I quickly realized that you could literally Fred Flintstone the...
