I have said defender
It's alright and has the usual tratter niggles ie wet leg, not particularly quiet and my future plans were galv chassis, bulkhead new doors and fairly soon a discovery transfer box.
Because I'm to tight and don't want to spend £100 on just a transfer box my plan was to buy a mot failure Disco and strip it sell off the bits and effectively get the transfer box for free. So I've just purchased this for £510 off ebay.
I've just been to pay the guy and it looks rock solid and way to good to break. In fact I'll be taking it straight for its mot the day I collect it.
I'm also slowly doing up a 2a in theory to sell once it's done as I thought my kids would never be seen dead in a land rover, but evidently my youngest wouldn't mind driving the 2a if we keep it.
And so my dilemma..
Sell the Disco for the cash, do up the series to give me the funds to sort the defender and buy a kids run around or...
Sell my defender and keep the discovery and use the cash to sort the series and keep it.
I like having the ability to chuck basically anything in the back which would wreck the Disco and I couldn't justify keeping the defender and a series as they are pretty much the same.
Unlike some people a defender isn't my dream car sorry
Good or bad shed me some light of your endless wisdom
