Default New Disco :)

Hey guys just brought a 1996 disco 3.9l v8 picked her up for $1400 I'm building her up from Fraser Island in January next year.
So far I've built a set of drawers and cut some rust out of the left hand side pillar.

Nice job, I have thought alot about doing this but for me having the gear so I can take it out and use the entire cargo area ( cause that area is just huge) is more important, wife does groceries 1 x monthly and fills the rover

Good luck with that. My trucks have complete sets of tools, and spares in them at all times. I've been driving Disco's too long to hope that nothing will fail. I just deal with it and carry on...
