Morning All,
My names Rich, i was on this forum a few years ago under the name V8_Disco. I had to sell my pride and joy to fund a house purchase, now after 4 years I was finally in a position to replace it!
I bought this 300Tdi 3dr unseen off eBay
and when I picked it up it was clear it had not been looked after in a long time, a few hundred shot gun and .22 cardridges later and I managed to clean all the rubbish out along with the interior to assess the damage. The chassis and boot floor are sound, but the rear arches, foot wells and front arches all need replacing. There are some good parts which will be kept like the front winch bumper, winch, wheels and snorkel.
The plan is to strip it down to a bare chassis, have it shot blasted and then rebuild it back up using all new/refurbished parts. Nearly all the work is being done by me and my dad, I went to Harper Adams University and have a degree in Engineering, my dad owned a Series III years ago so we aren't strangers to working on Landrovers
