👍🏻 You do indeed have to make your own - not a very tricky part. I’ll get some pics if you need. It’s a touch different on 3 door. You’ve got 3 parts there really. You have the bottom of arch finisher - this has a hole in that you weld to the...

Very nice looking Discovery, Green anorl what more could you want. I would always go with a vehicle you know than one you dont.... "a 90" is where the problem lies.... which 90 ? You may get lucky, you may not..... Disco is the natural...

Well there are many who spend 2-3 thousand on buying just a chassis with upwards of 5k fitted so I don't see how it couldn't be a good buy. You can get them cheaper but unmolested 3 doors are few and far between.

It’s worth double the asking if it’s as it’s claimed but I don’t actually believe any are rust free. Maybe I’m a pessimist. I’d still say 2k cash though 😂

Snap his hand off!!

First and easiest elimination is to unplug your MAF sensor and if it now drives ok that is your problem.

They have wipers to.

Get a big tomcat?!

Ensure you’re on the right side of the law. I personally this GL42 is insane but still work to it. I’ve got a perm where an elderly lady with hip replacement has her paths and tractors decorated by pigeons. Piles and piles of sh!t. She no longer...

air rifle then hang upside down from tree next to your car.

An air rifle is less alarming for the neighbours than a shot gun. ;)

For Sale: 1992 (J Reg) Factory V8 CSW. I've owned this for approx 10 years, but times have changed and it needs to find a new owner. It's a bit tatty, rough around the edges but has never let me down :) Factory v8 CSW in Metallic Red (don't...

Don’t think you’ll even be choosing on what engine it is to be honest. I think you’ll be choosing on which needs least welding unless your buying one that’s been restored and then your looking at bigger money (from 15 up to Bentley money!)

They rot in the same places as a disco. Hard to find a nice RRC that has not been butchered. Saw 1 the other week pushed out of a bush make £5k no engine or box(was a 2door but still rotten)

Thanks, not much time for it at the moment but it’s always there when I have got time! I’m missing my blue one a bit so will be glad when this is done but we are a way off yet!

Mate! Just caught up on this, spectacular thread, and work! I'm in the middle of doing up a house that we're living in, and keeping my 90 on the road and family life etc etc is taking up alot of time right now, so I'm in awe of your motivation...

If you want to sell, or fancy me doing a commissioned job, let me know 👍🏻

If you ever think of selling anything else you've worked on, hit me up!! 😊

If I sell the other one it will cost the price of a decent Beemer 😂

Cheers. I actually thought it might’ve hung around for a while but it was gone very fast

Bugger!! Only just saw this! Would 100% of bought it! Glad you got a good sale

I have this for sale and will do for 900 collected. No offers please as almost half price! It’s been used maybe 4 times hence the sale!! Collection only from near Southampton Cheers

Oh, I’ll see what that’s like when I get there haha! Made some panels to reattach the wheel arches to the inner wings and tacked them on today. Structural integrity is slowly returning! I’ve been using gasless MIG wire for this. I’ve not used...

Pig is leaving today. Going to a chap who I instantly liked and who is going to be doing a restoration on. Sad day but I also got a new lovely daily and a new gun yesterday so the pain is minimal 😂. It makes me really happy that the guy loved it...

Sold to the chap I wanted it to go to - he was highest bidder 👍🏻

It’s actually got a buyer should the highest bidder mess about. The guy was a really nice chap and loved landies, farming etc. I’m hoping he wins to be honest

You can’t edit the original description 😂

I'd take the bit about 3500 or offers out of the description now it's almost over that!

Yeah that’s true. No BIK but you can put all maintenance costs etc through the company. You could essentially do full restoration tax free which I was considering doing 😂
