just a tad

prehaps £1500 for a disco cos it will need stuff like tyres etc,winch,roll cage so prehaps a bit of money you do need left over to engourge you self with and rise to the challenge set before you BUT above all luke use the force

You'll miss her when you discover the rust.

And there is bound to be a lot of rust. I went to look at another Defender the other day, it was a turd but that's another story and as I was disapointedly leaving there was a nice tidy 52 disco that I had a little look over. I noticed a pin hole on the rear wheel arch and when I scratched it with my nail my thumb went straight through.
We left in a hurry.
