I've been creeping on this forum for the past month debating over buying a Disco. Well today I did it. Now here I am with a 1999 Disco II with 128k and a recently blown head gasket. I plan to strip it to the block, re machine the heads, clean what I can and put it back together with an British Atlantic gasket package. Of course the leaky head is just public enemy number one and this truck has a myriad of other issues including a key stuck in the ignition, rusty exhaust and the three amigos. I bought the rig for a couple hundred bucks and my question is: Should I part it out and get my money back or say **** it, roll up my sleeves and put this beauty back on the road?

 

If you have the time and extra money, and it at least looks good aesthetically, I vote yay for the rebuild. If the paint sucks, has a bunch of dents and dings, sagging headliner, torn seats, cracked or broken trim and moulding I would part it out and buy a really clean one that has a blown motor and start over with that.

 

A picture or two would help.

 

IMO, if it cost a couple of hundred bucks and still has a rook of issues just part it out and you'll make 10x the price you paid and then check in some and buy yourself another LR without any issues.

 

What this Englishman said....
How is the cluster shroud looking....you know, just in case you part it out.

 

Thanks for your input.
