Spent most of Sunday dismantling the front end of the Land-Rover. Removed the home made bull bar (to the scrap bin) then proceeded to rip into the front wings. Impact driver and angle grinder came into play here. Nothing too surprising here, mud shields completely rotten, as well as both foot wells.

Passenger side foot well
Drivers side foot well, the bulkhead is being replaced with my spare, so not a problem.
Both wings removed,
drivers side mud shield rotten, as well as the steering box cover. Luckily these can be brought new quite cheaply.
With the wings off I was able to see behind the wheels, and it seems the PO has done a front disc brake conversion. This will eventually be removed and replaced with the original drum brakes when I get to the axles. Both for originality and to avoid having to get them certified.

Tomorrow I hope to get the doors off, then start on the floor and the seatbox. Bring on the angle grinder!
