I was under the impression (mistaken or not) that the DiscoII's body panels were made of steel...is this wrong? A half truth?
Until I had read that I thought all Rovers were aluminium.
I read somewhere that it was true, but just read an article in tech section about the Mantec Snorkel instal and the author states that the fender was aluminium.

Now I need to know...heck I may not sleep tonight LOL!!

Steel and Aluminum.

The front fenders, hood, and rear quarters are Aluminum as well as a few other items.

The doors and roof are steel if I remember correct

Now go to sleep!

Ahhhhh haaaa! Thanks!!

Is that on the DI and DII? Are they different ratios between the 2?

Take a magnet and check. But I think the D1 was mostly Aluminium.

D2 has only the doors and roof of steel. But the rest of the panels are aluminium including the rear cargo door.

D1, all Aluminum, except the roof. I was under the impression that the D2 was the same. Are the doors steel?

Yep... steel doors for the exception of the cargo door. I thought the D1 had an aluminium roof like the RRC.
