(Rover Rescue Part II) Shops Told Her To SCRAP IT - We FIXED IT | ONE OWNER Land Rover Discovery 1

They told her it was worthless.
THIS is a one-owner, Disco 1 purchased new in RVA in 1996. I went to view the truck as it was posted for sale with limited details and met its lovely owner JoAnne. After hearing the backstory on the truck, I asked her if she really wanted to sell it since it was clear that she still loved it, she said she did but was told by other shops that it was unsafe to drive and worth scrap.
This obviously wasn’t the case. We exchanged information and I delivered the D1 to @sportscar_workshops for a once over and some diag, it drove beautifully. These trucks are sublime in original stock form. A video will go live this week with a walk through of the current condition! ✌🏻
I like it when people like and are passionate about things. Sometimes, a conversation is worth than a chance to make a couple bucks.

I just found a black used d2 gauge binnacle for 22 bucks or something. The dimmer switch piece can be slightly tricky.

I only managed to get one screw in..

Morning! Let’s get it

[@RassieKariuki]

Exactly what I did when I got my D1 3 years ago. Removed those stupid dump sponges under the carpet. Then I decided I didn't want want the carpets either. Now whenever I get it really dirt I just wash the entire floor.

Hey buddy, nice vid. What’s that song featured throughout?

[@AddictedMotors]

Just a stock song

[@realguy268]

Is there a lot of road noise after taking those sponge things? I have a d2 and never thought to do this. Also is it a problem in the lr3’s

[@AddictedMotors]

Nope
