Started cutting on the grille to put the wire mesh in a la Saudi...

it's either harder to do than it looks...or that stroke in January really took it's toll on my right hand!

i will try to salvage what i did with the dremel tool with some hand files after a little more coffee...

Got to go pick up the money pit from the radiator shop tomorrow. It had the factory radiator in my `97 Disco. That meant cooling problems for sure. After that, then comes the new VSS and Steering Damper install. If it is not 1 thing it is many. I already have 4 kids and they are expensive enough.

Thanks Duke, the back seats on the 95 disco are in great shape.
Its unfortunately the both fronts that have seen better days.

I started the same thing today. I used a jig saw and it was super simple.I started with a dremel and thought there must be a easier way.

Bled the brakes on my soon to be 1996 daily driver D1. Used a Motive Bleeder and it worked great.
