Default Solving the gas Crisis - 95 Discovery I

Well it's official, I purchased a Discovery I. I guess I didn't cry and bleed enough with my D2.

I have plenty of plans for the truck, but since we have to test some Fox shocks here at work I figured that would be the first ordeal.


Major overall plan is to drop the 300Tdi kit I bought in it, for which I have mostly everything I need.

Here's a photo of the truck next to my D2, looks a bit small

Not a new 300, I'm not rich!

And yes I like my vehicles to be as different looking as possible!

Manual seats and no sunroofs, nice... That's the best. Also looks like the PO did the headliner.
