My defender 300tdi 1 owner I payed 2500 for a newly galvi chassis & 25 boxes of bits. spent 5k building it.
My current D2 td5 1 owner with galvi chassis I bought off here & im not disclosing the price.!!

My D1 I payed 2400 & got 8k worth of receipts with it & ive spent plenty on it & now im going to break it
as I don't have the time to finish it as ive just taken on a unit to do repairs after hours & weekends.
plus ive got a ramp & compressor ect to pay for.
 
The Discovery 2 after a good clean, I was umming and ahhing whether or not to buy her when I went to look at her and actually walked away as she looked unclean and didn't exactly light my fire.. but she had a relatively low mileage (120,000) and full Land Rover main dealer service history up to 117,000 miles so after some thought I decided to take a chance and picked her up a few days after my first viewing.

I took her home and gave her a good clean, polish and wax and she came up beautifully and I couldn't be more happier. The only thing that really lets her down now are the wheels which I will have refurbished after the winter months.

Yeah, I get very ocd when it comes to details too, I also have a compressor and spray gun ( although have never used the spray gun before) so really I should have given it a go myself by now but work has kicked off in the past few months so that is where all my attention has been recently. I also have a friend who does a lot of custom work including hot rods etc. who said he will refurb them for me.

A set of 18" comets would suit her down to the ground!

Nice Disco BTW

Live and learn, but you can't possibly financially justify a LR let alone a FFRR ;)

She needs and will get a full rebuild when i can..
