Default Anyone else love Overhaulin' on Discovery Channel?

I'm hooked on this show. I particularly loved the one (or two?) episodes when they restored/updated a Bel Air (my Dad-in-law had a 64 but had to sell it for funds.)

However, I'd love to see an LR on the show. Does anyone know if there ever was one featured?

I would love to take an early DI and gut it to bare bones and do a build-up on it. Maybe a 95 so there would be no emissions control requirements. I know a parts vehicle of that vintage I am trying to get real cheap and make it a play thing.

That would be an awesome rebuild project! I'd like to see one restored to stock... maybe - at best - a 2" lift. But not much else. can't remember who it was that posted pics of a 350 engine in their LR. That was sick! And definitely a labor of love.

Good idea on the emissions.

how about a show where they show you how to actually fix a vehicle and more importantly how to diagnose stuff. Oh wait that doesn't make money only throwing parts at stuff does.

That's a great idea for a show! The diagnostic show would be on Speed and the throwing money at a problem would be on Discovery.

I love doing laundry, and I am doing laundry as I type. I love to clean also and organize things. I don't think you are weird, I just think that we love things to be organized, clean and put away....
