After owning 2 classic RR's, and enjoying the many thrills of wheeling in Eastern Tennessee years ago, I dove head first (without checking to see if there was any water) into owning a 2000 D2. After months of scanning Craigslist for possible projects I found an extremely nice and well-cared-for D2 that had the typical front shaft fail. At first glance yesterday it appears to have only beat the snot out of the trans pan (it fell off when I unloaded the D2 off the trailer haha). Today it goes up on the lift for my first real inspection. Wouldn't it just be wonderful if a new tranny pan and front shaft is all I need to get rolling??? I am sooooo optimistic

Updates to follow. Also, I know I am going to need drivers side headlight, turn signal, and possibly bumper parts. Any ideas on the best place to order, besides eBay? The D2 will reside in Greenville, NC but I am based out of Nashville, TN and travel all around VA, NC, SC, and TN for work. Good meeting you!

 

for parts near you speak to will tillery at www.rovaguy.com give him a call and tell him what you need.

Hi there - from WA (Western Australia!! that is). I am seeking a Series II V8 Auto! have had two Series 1 in the past - love that V8 sound!! That 1950's V8 Buick engine sure had the sounds right! The Poms made it even better!! For as long as there is petrol, what a way to use it!! All the best

Regards

Ray

 

FOLLOW UP: I wound up needing a transmission and found one for $300 from Tidewater Rovers right down the road in Wilmington, NC. After reading several negative reviews about them online I figured I would go check them out for myself and possibly roll the dice. They seemed OK so I went ahead and bought the transmission and a few other parts from them. Now I am up and rolling. I already took the Disco to the beach and have put over 500 miles on her in the last week or so. I have slowly been double checking everything in the "must do" list. Next up is changing the coolant over to green. Thank you to everyone on here for good advice!

 

Sweet! Great to hear you're enjoying your Rover
