Help please!!

Have been given the option of swapping my 1985 defender 90 with 1996 300tdi transplant for a 1998 300tdi disco with 2" lift hd springs and good body work.

Done a lot of work on my defender and very attached to it.

I knows my sound daft but whats the the feeling on a straight swap??? Anything to watch out for??

convert ya 90 to a csw. simple and cheap enough to get side panels with windows and a pair of forwards facing seats are easy enough to fit, if a little expensive. But worth doing.

an average looking 97/98 disco is woirth £1k max a good condition 90 with 300tdi is worth double that.

more like triple the value. If you think that a 90 requires a lot of maintenance, a disco has twice as much badly made rubbish to go wrong..

Thanks again.
