Need to know what i should do

[Papa_Jon]

I just came across a very cheap 1995 Land Rover d1. Runs and drives fine a few issuse's nothing a tune up and some wd40 wont fix. Should i turn it into my next rig and beat the crap out of it. Or should part it out is there any money in parting it out?

define cheap?

the center diff lock mechanism is worth a grand to someone with a discoII. other than that i cant really think of anything worth parting out unless you plan to spend ALOT of time on discowebs classified section. Landrover is a niche market. if it were a jeep or yota or chevy i'd say scoop it up and part it out.

as far as next rig.......whats your wallet like?

LRs are never a good idea, no matter how cheap you think you're getting it. That price isn't a fluke, they are junk, and priced accordingly.

pick it for 100.00

Dude for $100... I'd def buy it and spend minimal on it, prep as a "I don't care WTF happens" vehicle for this year's URECross.
Afterwards yank that center diff and sell the rest for scrap.

If I could get any running vehicle right now for that cost that's exactly what I'd do

 

[Papa_Jon]

the aluminum axles housings probably wont hold up in the 4x4cross. ever heard the phrase "dont scun the diff!!"

4 door. 2 door wasnt available in the US.

a d1 is a first gen discovery. not a defender (which is worth the money)

Get it and bash on it.

 

[Papa_Jon]

got it last night

 

[Papa_Jon]

i have been reading up they saying axle is as strong as a toyota but i never own or work on b4 but the tires alone or worth 200 or more they brand new nips still on there

[y2kcrawler]

Yeah post some up. I thought you were talking about a D90. I got all excited....

 

[Reid]

get in touch with crown14 on here, he has some contacts in the rover community and could probably help you sell it.

 

[Papa_Jon]
