Alright boss, good work!
Where abouts in norfolk are you?
Are those Anti Roll Bars coming off?
If so do they have a new home yet?

HA! yes that is the gay! hahaha
tim:
im near brandon....ish. the anti roll bars are coming off/havnt found a new home but unfortunatley i took an angle grinder to the rear one because i gouldnt get the bolt off and it had to be removed sharpish...but your welcome to have the front if thats what you were hinting at
kirmit:
the fuel tank is a custom job from allisport, i forget how much it was but it was around £310 inc vat/sender unit/postage its very nice and can either fit behind the seats or in between the discos wheel arches
alexb:
your probibly joking but i wouldnt actually mind doing it to another so i wouldnt make all the mistakes that i made on this one.
also have an extencive amount of spares, bumper end caps(i hear there sought after) all rear windows, set of 4 rr alloys a set of brand new bearmach rock sliders w/tree guard, never used fitted the left one for about 5 mins and took it off £100 if anyones intrested.
thanks all

Dam that looks good! Where do i place my order!
It is a shame you are not closer (Perth) As i have an identical disco to tour's before you took it to part. I would love to have borrowed it stuck my plates on and left it in the driveway for my wife's return after she is away for a week in Jan! She would go f****ing nuts!

The gate opener business is a rating on how many posts you have done.

I hope you've informed VOSA/DVLA about your chassis modification and are booked in for an SVA test.

Looks like you've done a good job there mate
With regards to the X-Springs what are they like?
Granted you hav'nt taken it off road yet but does it all fit together nicely and well made ?
