My Saturday Rant

For all those engeniers designers some time a dollar piece can make your creations last years.
Put a f+*^^%%ing hose clamp next time on the sun roof gutters .

Was lucky to find a rear boot panel in Canada cost me 190 including taxes and shipping .

must admit thats the first time Ive heard of the hoses coming off, you can cut the ends off the pipe to make them tight again, but it makes me wonder looking at the plastic drain trays the pipes connect to (they look like they have been re-sealed) if this wasnt done by a previous owner then he forgot to put the drain pipes back on...
It is normally the plastic drain cups that crack and leak - here is one viewed from the inside:-



Its an easy fix to seal them up and it cures the leak problems easily and straight away - but only if your pipes remain connected!

The cup is sealed from the factory mine look like yours the easy fix is to remove the sunroof and i am installing a metal plat in place of the fron and rear roof problem fixed permenantly .
Some time less is more K.I.S.S.

The rear cross member looks fine

Mine was quite bad when I started digging. 2 of the 10 body mounts were O.K.:Wow1:
Axle mounts are over rated anyway

What sills

I only took it off for quick look

Oooppss

Chassis legs fell off as well

 

[redneck44]

Just a standard U.K. Disco...
There are 2 types of Disco in the U.K..... those that have had new sills, and those that need new sills.

Do you put salt to de ice like we do in Canada?
My truck lived its first 11 years in the US and the last 8 in quebec canada mabe that is why i have some controlable damage .
The only thing that acelerated the rust is the 2 sunroofs dripping the salt water mix insid the sills when they were conected and inside the truck when the hose desconnected from the sunroof.
