Parts Galore on a budget!
One of the beauties of owning a late model Disco is Cost. I just picked up a Disco for 500.00 with blown head gaskets. Now, besides the part I need I have a multitude of spare parts and if I feel so inclined I may even tear into the engine... Oh happy days!

No such thing as a lot of cheap parts. What exactly are you looking for?
Might also want to check out my major service list in the sticky above. |

I bought a parts D1 before for $400. Cut the cats out and sell them to a local catalytic converter recycler or Marty Powell (Drillbit). Save the diffs and axle shafts and wheels along with as much of the engine and interior as you can/want. Between selling the cats and scrapping the well picked over carcus to a local junkyard I was able to break even. Plus I had tons of spares. Sensors, bulbs, lamps, mirrors, switches, and on and on. |
Cheap parts, it's how junk yards get Super Rich. Except they only would have paid around $300. Good deal OP; I'm gonna try and find me some 'Cheap Parts' too.

I bought my parts truck RRC for 800 bucks. Got it running. Cleaned up. No one bought it whole. Between ebay and craigslist I sold 2300 worth of parts. Plus kept a ton for myself. Then when I sold my RRC I sold off the spares I kept for another 400. Then I used the steering box/steering arm for the new Disco that had a puking box. Then pulled it's transmission for yet another disco. Plus I used it to replace a bent trailing arm too. Then gave the carcass away.
If you have the room I highly recommend having a parts truck. |
