Default 1996 D1 5 speed taking offers

Folks I have not driven my 5 speed Disco1 since the birth of my first kid 6 years ago. It was left at my parents property in Brooklyn NY and over the years relatives used it as a storage unit. A few months ago I went to put it back in rotation but I saw rust on it. Since then I have been undecided what to do with it, I am now OK to get rid of it.

It has around 126k I think, I do not remember the lift but it is tall. It has 33x12.5 Coopers, steel bumper, steel wheels, flared fenders, hood scoop, straight pipes. I also did Honda racing front seats and D2 headlights. I stopped using it due to it being way too loud for a baby and I always kept multiple stock rovers and still currently have others.

Back in the day I remember needing to change the headliner and purchasing a custom headliner kit but I have no idea where I stored it. I also wanted to upgrade the front shaft and got a unit but again I have no recollection where I stored it. I have storage units in Brooklyn and CT but I'm not willing to search. If you end up with the truck and are local I will hand over any parts I find in the future when I clear out my storage units. I also needed to adjust the bracket I made for the driver seat and never got to it.

I'm sure the battery is dead but email me if you want to come see it in Brooklyn NY. The pics I have are from 2007 so this weekend I will head there and post current pics.
I will build my 04 D2 into a monster so if you have suspension, exhaust or a wheel package I will trade. I also need a 5 speed conversion for the D2.

Rust on the bumper and wheel well that I saw and I know if you can see rust there is more you can't see. Taking offers so if 500 is the highest offer then so be it. I never did the head gaskets on this one. I had no issues with it when it my favorite toy but it has sat untouched for years.

Sorry, thought I covered it:
. Had a kid in 08
. Wife wasn't up for the challenge
. Kept this at my parents
. Rarely go to that property
. Recently had dreams of old times
. Went to look it over; saw rust
. Decided to turn my 04 into a monster instead

I don't have a price the best offer gets it. I am currently not able to make time and tackle my storage units, work projects and little one back to school.
I didn't think the factory seats fit the look I was going for so I changed them.

wheels are in motion to pick this thing up and get it back on the road. my buddy has been looking for a disco for a weekend/beach cruiser and this fits the bill perfectly.
