for that money i would sell my red one !
its about as mint as your going to get after a little bit more work.
i would list all the new parts but that would take to long. the shell unlike a lot has had EVERY rusty panel professionally removed and new ones refitted to a high standard. just got to have the injector pump over hauled and a few minor bits and pieces seen to and its ready for the road.

burn it.:eek:
 
I wonder..... If you paid the money for that Disco,waxoiled it and worked it hard for say 6years - how would it compare with spending 10 plus on a D3 and keeping it for the same period ? I tend to think you would get better service from the 300TDI.I've just done the boot floor/rear arches and outer sills on my 96 300 auto.It has 170,000 on it and is a reliable /very useful truck.Would I consider the same if it were a D3 - I dont think so.
I think we need to recognise how useful they can be - for not that much effort or money.
 
for 4k just buy a rotten one with low miles and fsh and spend some more sorting the rust.

Job done and money left over if you have done it right :)
