Early Discovery money pit

Evening all.

Only gone and bought another discovery, but this time she's something else...

She's a 1989, G registered, 3 door with sonar blue inside (obviously), with 33x12.5 Mickey Thomson Baja MTZ's, lift and a couple of other things.
Been sat in a garden in Worcester for 2 years, but despite this is largely solid, certainly the best one I've owned! Put a battery on her, no heat, started 2nd swing over and ran beautifully! Dead chuffed.








Now the plan for her is to repair the 3 holes, sort the 2 duff lights and ummm.... service.... try for an MOT!

Now for the disco twitchers out there, she does have a few tell tale early features, bonnet pull on drivers side, wide throttle pedal, smooth rocker cover breather with over the rocker cover pipe and round dip stick . But does have all 4 dash vents. Any other pointers towards other early features very welcomed!

I've not been this excited about a purchase for a while... It's decent... Doesn't flex as well as my rather unassuming series though

Thought I'd share, an early one being kept alive!
Cheers
Archie

ps, I gave £650...

Nice one I like it.

Love a disco that stands well

yeah looks good hopefully you got a beaut there

Thanks all.
She went though an MOT reasonably easily, few days of welding, new king pin bearings and wiper blades. Minimal advisories!


Problems with her so far; waste-gate was stuck shut but easy fix, passenger door is tattered, exhaust knocks on chassis rail where it goes under it and the clutch slips a little if you give her hell though normal driving it's fine so will wait till new year when a gearbox with synchro left goes in!

Other wise I'm dead happy
