I picked up a Hawkeye diagnostic tool for a Disco 2 V8 & Td5.
It was priced cheap and is very impressive when testing out it on Myrtle. Me thinks I’ll stick with me Nanocom.
Today we are unpacking the D2 after an amazing trip camping at Mt Shasta, several good spots along the Oregon coast and then taking the inland route back home. We traveled ~1400miles round-trip and I can only surmise that their were zero vehicle issues because I had recently purchased the complete Extinct spares kit.
So with being semi-retired and having far too much time on my hands i decided to make my Disco a "One of a kind".
I stripped all paint from top to bottom to revel her beautiful aluminum skin and steel doors and roof. I sealed all aluminum with Shark Hide and then went about accenting her hood, roof, body lines and doors with bed liner to create the large scale Union Jack doors. It definitely took a good bit of elbow grease and time but I feel it was well worth it.
It's the original Disco grill, i just removed it, laid out a drill pattern and went to town with a stepped drill bit to add a bit of air flow and interest.

You're correct - you do have far too much time on your hands ...
But wow; way cool.
The only thing I might have done differently is the roof. I wouldn't have gone with black, especially in the Florida heat. What did you use for the "silver" color on the steel doors to match the Shark Hide-sealed aluminum panels?
