[lee celtic]

Hi All

Me and my mate are currently stripping a 3.9 v8 discovery es , and great fun it is too  :dance:

However what I need to know is how do the rear quarters come off ??? I've taken off the interior panels and removed every bolt I could find but they still refuse to budge ..

are the rear corners ( the bits with the lights in) attached to the rear quarters can they be split ?? (I want these for mine) but we need the get the quarters off tomorrow to stay on target..

Help please ... cheers Lee ;)

lee, evereything from the doors back is spotwelded you need to violate the rear end with a cold chisel to break them.
keep an eye out, there are some spotwelds in some sneakey palces! hahahhaha

Clamp on molegrips, beat with hammer? Or does this not apply to bodywork? :twisted:

I always thought that was grinder territory

[lee celtic]

I've been told that the rear panels were held on with bolts and sealer but they just wont budge 

I want to get them off in one peice un damaged so they can be used again...

Sorry it's off topic, but with regard to the engine, is it:
a. Serpentine?
b. Any good?
c. Low mileage?
d. For sale with ancillaries?

Hi There , there are no spot welds holding the quaters on, lndrover used a sealing compound, use a big knife to part it, good luck its a real pain tyo remove,

is the sealent on the inside after you take the bols out ?? or the outside from underneath ??

and finally  :lol: :lol: how is the rear quarter attached to the corner peice  :-k :-k

Serpentine ??? don't know what that means sorry tdi man  ;) good engine low miles but at the moment he's holding on to it as he wants to build an off road toy using the running gear and motor ...

....pretty sure mine was held on with spotwelds.......i could be wrong as it was a while ago....and mines a 3 door......but then again i dont know what im on about.

[davidlandy]

sure too that its spotwelds - they can be seen quite clearly on my mates one who, wait for it, backed into a snowman and spilt the rear qtr apart!

[Disco-andy]

the two parts of the rear panel are spot welded but the whole thing is glued on, I found this out the hard way see broken spot welds.....



Glue for the light guard was stronger that the welds

[lee celtic]

I just saw two quarter panels for sale on ebay so I asked the two sellers the question and the reply was the same ...remove all the bolts inside and one out side then all the little screws aroung the door , then using a long blade cut the sealer bond while pulling gently on the panel working from the top down and try not to bend the panel. they both said it was time consuming but not hard....

will be having a go tomorrow now,,, :D

and boss theres no point you giving advice on how to remove stuff .........

not everyone has a 12" grinder and an axe  :twisted:
