After some investigative work after getting the Disco home, i discovered that the inner rear 1/4 panel behind the rear jump seats was rather badly corroded - to the point that the seat belt nearly parted company with the panel.
after removal of the trim and remains of the inner panel, this is what was left........
after cleaning and removal of rust back to sound metal
the wheel arch was also removed and replaced with a new one
after some remedial repair work it looks a lot better, and is now well protected with underseal, lot's of seam sealer to all joins, and cavity wax internally. All exposed metal was treated with jenolite before being treated with the top coats
and that concluded the Bank Holiday Weekend's work....or so i thought.
The front prop needed replacing the following day due to seriously worn joints causing vibration, which resulted in the need to cut the old bolts off (they had rounded badly) and then replace the diff flange - oh the joys of owning a Landrover.
