Speaking of which , have you ever ask yourself how they come up with design for the Discovery?
So here is what I come up with.They developed it from Popemobile.To learn more about Popemobile click this link.

1982 Brits build Popemobile on the Range Rover Clasic as a donor vehicle.
You just have to see beyond.Here I posted picture of the actual 1982 Popemobile.(Tell me about top heavy...)Under is photoshoped same picture.
Remember these roof rails we all have .On the actual popemobile they were on the side , and their purpose was for body guard to have handle while stand on the running boards...
..maybe i am crazy but I see Discovery here...

Here it is guys.Benefit of being on the forum and doing build up is , you can't slack.Made hole in the floor for fuel pump access.Lot of screwing.
...finished look ...you can see original cover next to it...
...also added some additional support for the floor...
...and painted the frame.

That IS a lot of screwing (and not even the fun kind lol). So why so many? Was there just too much movement in that area? I would have thought that maybe half that would have sufficed. BTW, still my favorite thread on here. As I don't have the time, money, or knowledge to do something this big I have to live vicariously through your build lol.
