Land Rover Discovery Project

[whisper]

My Dad just offered me his L reg Disco, I've always wanted one so I'm chuffed to bits. Ok, so it's really old but he's owned it from when it was a year old and maintained it all himself.

I'm going over tomorrow so is there anything I should look out for? It's looking a bit shabby so I guess it might need a lot of work.

If my dad gives me something it's usually because he wants something in return

Are they expensive to insure then?

It will be a discovery project matey.
First see how many holes you can line up to be able to actually see right through the car.
When, not if, you line up a set, put a scaffold pole right through. If the scaffold touches any metal on the way, that's an indicator that you have discovered it's too much to take on.
If, on the other hand, the pole takes a bit of a shove to pop out of the other side........the discovery is in fact a project that many LR owners would be happy to take on.
Enjoy your voyage of discovery.

I wouldn't say lucky Pete, but at least I won't have to worry about getting the rear tyres wet when launching anymore

Yep, complete with towbar
