Exclamation Done! Parting out 98 discovery le 50th edition

As a whole the rig is trashed but there are many many good parts worth salvaging for use. My goal is to make between $1500-2000 from selling parts, if not whatever. I need a new vehicle and have arranged for transportation to and from work in the mean time. Im looking for another Discovery -but i NEED something that has been taken care of. Ive been on here afew months now and Ive done afew transactions with some of the members (Spike, LRD2&ME) so please trust my intentions and my ethics in business. Whatever you need Ill take it apart and make sure its carefully prepared for safe shipping. The catch is you need to send the money in advance. I cannot afford all the shipping costs without any compensation. Please refer to LRD2&ME for a reference of my honesty. I just sold him my spare power steering gearbox. Thanks you guys.

Parts of highlight:
1.) 2" TerraFirma (big bore I think) suspension lift kit.
2.) 2 Brand new unused Yokahoma ATS tires
3.) New rear driveshaft with under 1000 miles on it.
4.) New Procomp steering stabilizer/damper
5.) New power steering hose with under 1000 miles on it, no leaks.
6.) Good condition slotted rotors.
7.) Good condition ceramic brake pads. Plenty of life left for general operations.
8.) 2 Good condition general grabber tires with even wear.
9.) 1 Good conditioned full size spare BF Goodwrench tire.
10.) HID Headlights.
11.) Good conditioned heater motor and fan.
12.) Good condition tan leather back seats (there is large stain on the passenger side rear seat. No rips)
13.) Used power steering gearbox (overall good condition, but I need to disassemble it to make sure its legit.
14.) Windshields and windows are in typical condition for age and miles (no cracks or chunks missing)
15.) Rear sunroof still operates, but its moody. Some of the panels are in good shape.

Please hit me up asap for needed/wanted parts. Serious inquiries only!

Heres my cell number: 603 381 1184 call anytime day or night, ask for Julian and please include your name and the forum so I know your not spam! If no answer please leave a voicemail or text message. I will entertain other offers as well. If you have a spare Discovery (96 +++) that needs SOME work, i may shoot for that. May even throw in extra cash!

That is normal and expected. Not a catch. Try buying anything, even at a salvage yard and they will expect payment with shipping before they ship.

I sent you one as well. Guess yours is not working, I was inquiring about the spark plug wires.

I hope you realize that a lot of the stuff you are wanting to sell you most likely would need again for another DI, especially things like the lift, all olders Discos sag if they still have original springs.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. When you referred to Income Tax Refund are you talking about next April 15th?

You might want to take a look at this one:
1997 Land Rover Discovery 4x4

I'd even go for this before a DII:

This looks great for the price:

If I had the money available, I would JUMP on this one:

Or this rare version:

Sorry, I just had to show this really rare splendid one:
1975 Mercedes Benz 280S with only 91K original miles

If i had the money, it would definitely be in my garage!

Thanks Danny. The steering failed again due to issues with the steering shaft. Combined with needing a new radiator and cooling hoses, engine missfire, srs and abs illuminated, much needed cosmetic work inside and out - Im finished. I wish to start over from scratch with a better Disco in the $1-3000 price range. I wont make enough by parting my disco but it will be a start for savings. And yes im referring to my tax returns this coming april.

Danny i replied to your private message, let me know if it went through or not.

On a second note I have a loaner phone with a good camera so ill start snapping shots of every aspect of my rover and good parts and upload them for all to see, examine and buy.
