hi, iv done a couple now and my advice would be to do a bit at a time, ie sills one weekend then boot floor another weekend. if you pull it all apart you will probably look at all the cutting and welding youve got to do and think stuff it, its not worth doing.. good luck with it and in my opinion if your keeping the the disco, it is worth doing...............happy days!

thanks my first thing i think will be the inner front arches and then the rear ones i did do the front half rears where the doors shut about a year ago or so  so it will then bee the stills and the boot after that it will be the alpine lights and th rest of the body bubbles etc and then a respray ithink

thanks for that very usefull was it hard and what sort of plate did you use oh and how long please

I used these people for the panels

Good to deal with and very good quality parts.

I've more detailed pics of the drivers side installation, but can't upload them as the gallery isn't acepting uploads and hasn't for a while. ( could email you some if it would help ? )

It's not a terrible job to do, just a little time consuming. I would recommend getting the full kit from YRM and relacing the lot.
Leave an inch lip on the horizontal part where it buts up to the vertical ( if it's still there !! ) - it makes it much easier for locating the new panel in right position.
Also, get some spare plate as the sloping floor behind the pedals where the inner wings joins will probably have gone as well.

Good luck.
