That’s impressive! I use BKF on a bristled drill attachment for quick and easy scrubbing. Highly recommend it.Thank you. I just used a Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, Bar Keepers Friend (BKF), and a bucket of water. BKF is a chalky white powder (similar to baking soda). You want to get a decent amount of BKF on a semi-damp sponge (I used the harsher, scrubby side of the sponge) and just rub out the grease and surface rust with several passes. Keeping it semi wet helps, but you'll quickly learn you want more powder than water. On the other hand, you'll know when you don't have enough water. I probably spent about 20 minutes total bringing the tailpipe back to like-new appearance before I rinsed it while also wiping off the BKF residue (otherwise some of it stays behind). Then I dried it off and marveled at the transformation!
Note: it's not meant to be used on painted surfaces. I've always used it on our kitchen sink and pots and pans
Looks great and a simple way to refresh things. Would you mind sharing a link or brand/part info? I'm thinking I'd like to do this as well, and also potentially replace the mounting bolt that has been subjected to the A/C condensation runoff and now is so rusty that it looks like it has been at the bottom of the sea for a decade. Does anyone extend the hose on that runoff pipe to change where the condensation comes out? Seems like an easy fix; just simply redirect it.Swapped out sway bar end links in the front.

Extending the hose is pretty simple. There is a kit available from some venders but you can just as easily make one with some parts from the hardware store.
Aahhh my next tires. Love the wheel and tire combo.
Had the front bumper, rear bumper, grill, mirrors, door handles and rims painted. Also installed some Rigid flood lights. All of this is until I can get her up to Texas and get all of my accessories installed. Gonna have to drive up from Honduras. She's not bad for a 2001 105 with 260,000 kms. Last picture is what she looked like when I bought her three weeks ago.

This one has me confused - what does this cap do?

Didn't do it all today, but it is coming along very nicely IMO.

Very nice! Any rubbing on the front wheels?
Any details on the front bumper attachment? I know this is a 105 but I've never seen that before.
Looks rad. That’s it. Oh, and is hotter to the touch if the engine is warmed up. LOL.
cap is really nice but now how do you know what oil type your engine takes???? didnt think that one through did you.
I think it was taken off a 100 and added on before I bought it. The fog lights aren't set up either.

That's quite the unique Land Rover Discovery.....
Just a little on the plastic fender liner. Heat took care of it. Will be taking it out on a trail next weekend to give it a shake down.
