	Bought this a couple of years ago, got a bit too excited by new car syndrome so missed some glaring issues. However it drove quite nicely and I trundled around for few months (it had 12 months mot on it) until I gave a rear seat belt mount a good whack and it fell off. Some pictures after starting the strip down initial plan was front inner wings and sills patched as required. Started removing the inner and outer sills I probably could have patched these. Note the previous repair literally tacked every few inches then sealed with body filler. At this point it became obvious the front foot well was a bit crusty as well

	Started looking at the inner wing, initial plan was to build my own from yrm parts, and a couple of genuine lamp boxes cut off a doner But then a pair of complete inner wings came along at a good discount so used that instead.

	Inner wing is fitted up but not yet welded as I moved onto the sill. Lots of plug welds on the sill, which is from yrm and is a good fit Also added the floor support and sill closing panel. I get bored flap wheeling welds but will smooth these off a bit better before paint.

	Wheel arch repair and c post. Outer arch was full of fibreglass and also replaced. The c post I got a section cut off a better car as the profile is not as origami as the rest. More to come....

	Now a bit that was unexpected - the chassis had some issues where I could not access it so had to remove some of the kick panel

	Chassis repair not so pretty, first time I've had the welder on max and took a bit of adjusting. The panel at the edge of the kick panel had a bit missing too. The photo shows a hole on the cross member veritical panel this was also repaired.

	Repaired the kick panel, has some strange studs on it that do not seem to be used but caused a panel perforation hence the random repair in the middle. Next is the boot floor and chassis rails alongside the fuel tank which is up to where I am now. I have new floor supports and an alloy floor as a previous owner has been here before. Ths rear cross member has been replaced and seems to be an ok job which is nice as there have been some nasty bodges elsewhere. I have no load leveller currently but hopefully have a lead on a working one.

	Brave man, I have a 93 Discovery that I used to chase the rust round with a welder and new panels until I parked it up 11 years ago when I bought a Landcruiser, suffice to say the disco is now looking very sorry for itself. I don't know if the RR is the same but afaIk a lot of the Disco bodies were built in the late seventies before the project was shelved and then stored out in the open for ten years or so before being finally being built up, also the curse word steel back then was already rusting before it was ever pressed.

	Spent a year or so doing all the same areas on mine 4 or 5 years ago, at least mostbof the areas which rust are flat and hidden so don't need laborious re-finishing (mines an earlier 86 one so everything except the outer panels is matt black). A lot of people knock them but they are certainly no worse than anyother 30 year old car for rust, the chassis in particular seem to last pretty well (I,ve just done a similar repair to yours but that's all it's ever had). They are so over engineered even with the rust they are still stronger than most cars of their era.

	I am lucky that I can take my time, this will eventually be a daily but there is little pressure on finishing it and I specifically started on the easy bits before moving onto the harder areas - day 1 I would not have had the confidence or capabilities. I do need to figure out what to paint it with, especially as most panels are zintec.

	I've found epoxy primer seems about the best product, sticks well and is waterproof.

	Not much progress, kick panel welded on and not shown on the photos removed three brackets from the back which were unused and just acting as a rust trap. Will need to drop the tank for further chassis repairs and think it's about half full, which is a pain as this my only diesel.

	The area where the tank mounts to the rear x member was a horrible rust trap on mine the later ones like yours may be different though.
