hi all having an argument with a friend. i have always wanted a landrover and ever since i sold my Nissan patrol i always said i would buy a land rover next time. I now have 4 kids and the wife said we need a another 7 seater car so here is my chance, so looking on ebay i found 1 just up the road that needs a lot of work it is a N reg disco 2 300tdi so l8 95. i paid £350 for her with no history but it was deliverd to my door steep free of charge !!!!! 
but the battle :fighting2: i am having is my friend does not think it is worth doing up here is a list of the problems lol
starts and drives but has blown head gasket
starter motor knackered
water pump knackered
no idea if the turbo is working as the wires were disconnected from the pressure valve
2 new tyers
brakes all round
alarm was disconnected and not working, and the centrel locking isn't either
rad is ...... well lets just say there not much left of it lol
there is no air filter in box
front wind screen needs replacing
will need all new cam belt and fan belt
will need full sevice!!!!!!!!!!
there is also a shock on the steering that has rusted away don't know what this is called ????
welding ................
new boot floor
the bolt on foot steps are gone
seals are ok
rear arches both sides
and rear posts need boxing
there is also some oxidisation on the bottom of the paint on all doors and panels but nothing a bit of ally pl8 cant hide
now my argument is that im handy with a set of tools and a welder so it not to much work for me at all but he thinks i should buy a cleaner 1 that is working and on the road where as i say buy a dead 1 and replace all the parts your self then you know its all bin done
what do you all think did i pay to much for her my end goal is to use it for the family car and would also like to use it form some fun if i can find a group that go out locally ????? thanks in advance
