New addition to the LR collection

[dungarover]

Well, my $900 'Ruddy money' come thorogh (funny the hard working tax payers had to wait whilts the unemployed bludgers got they'res first up :mad::mad::mad:) and though what would the best way to spend it, buy another Land Rover :twisted:

Well, found this 92 Disco with a not so healthy engine on e-bay and won it for $1250 so I only really paid $350 for it in total. Good clean vehicle, 2 owner since new and generally needs a good clean. No rust which is a bonus. Being a die-hard Rangie owner I wasn't considering a Disco but at that price it was a good buy.

Pic below, not the best one but I got it off e-bay and will post some more up once I take collection which will be later this weel sometime.

Congrats Trav:D

[dungarover]

Thanks Tim. You know me, always on the hunt for a bargain :twisted::twisted::twisted:

Project Dunga still lives on til I decide what to do with the Disco, always good to have a spare just in case I kill the dunga in the meantime.

I never thought you'd buy a disco:D
looks like a great buy, always good to have a spare lying in the yard:angel:

CHEERS TIM.

[dungarover]

No me neither but at that price who's to be picky :D

I was looking at Rangies and was my prefernce but realistically I wasn't prepared to pay twice as much for a pile of ****, Discos whilts not as good are a damn sight cheaper and more plentuiful (I had a look at a Rangie for $2K what a ****box. Had a running engine but was a mess overall and very dissapointing).

Mate of mine loves Rangies to death like me but bought a tdi Disco 3 years ago. Still misses his Rangie but not the fuel consumption he tells me (always hangs **** on me when we do trips about how little he uses, bastard :mad::mad::mad:).

Bargain. Nice work :)

Welcome to the familia Trav :cool:,

Thanks Stevo, Pete and Shepp.

I'm pretty happy with it, drives okay (although it's only running on about 4 cylinders) but took it around the block and it seemed to steer, brake and ride well. it's tidy enough meaning it's niot a pristine unit that I wouldn't be afraid to use.

I'll still have a Rangie of sorts so I won't be deserting the Rangie flag altogether. The dunga will stay registerd til it dies, can't ask anymore of it as it's been a ripper vehicle to date :D

Good vintage that one :angel:

Nice buy Trav. Auto I assume? Best of luck with it.

Bloody oath it's an auto :twisted::twisted::twisted: I wouldn't have bought it otherwise

They're not a bad vintage, prefer the 94 onwards dash though but still who cares for that price :cool:. The Disco that I had in the past was the same year although dark green in colour. The blue interior is not overly pleasnt (I had beige although it was a bugger to keep clean) but I can live with it plus it has a console even if it's cheap nasy and '5 minute' plastic one (the Disco I had didn't have one, had one of those dodgy zip bags consoles attached to it :mad:).

I'll post up a pic of my old Disco if I can find a pic and scan it.

Very funny :D

I'll still have a Rangie in my collection, I hanker for one even with Disco ownership. If I trash the Disco body, I may even put a Rangie body on top and use the Disco dash but Rangie seats :angel: (I will miss my armrests, looking at putting Rangie vogue seats in over time :D).

Retro fit a 2 door rangie body;) I know where theres one going actually theres a bit of a choice:cool:

[dungarover]

Would be an interesting project. I'd do it if I trashthe Disco bodywork, which will happen over a period of time, retro-fit the Disco dash, etc.. as it all fits (only thing that needs changing is the headlight switch). Mike Hall (previous owner of Rover Care) did a few of these and they come up pretty goodif I remember

You might be onto something there Guy :idea:

Disco's are in plague numbers at the moment, but all that interbreeding will be their downfall you'll see. Maybe the collicie virus may yet have another use.;)

To tell you the truth if it wasn't for the ''p'' plate no v8 rule, i would most likely be a rangie owner not a disco owner, always had a soft spot for rangies:angel:

Glad they didn't have that when I got my license 13 odd years ago (now 31) nor didI have to put those P plate cards on the window (In Vic yes but when I moved up to QLD no I never put them on).

Still prefer the mighty Rangie, but as I said before money talks even if it's a Discovery. Picking it up tomorrow arvo and taking down to Jimboomba as I can't see me having time to have it regoed before I move house.

Project Disco is now in my hot little hands :D:D:D. No pics sorry it was dark, I was hungry and I left it at that. Juts locked it and went home for a feed.

Trying to think of a name for this project, maybe project traitor for the Rangie owners in our club as I have crossed to the darker side :eek:

Going down to the 'boomba on Sunday, get some pics of it then and a wash too with sap and all sorts of crud on the roof and bonnet.

PDA - Project Double Agent - keeping it simple

[dungarover]

I like that, simpe and it works :D:D

[CheekyD1]

Welcome to the Disco brotherhood, just dont strain your neck trying to watch that back turret overhead as you pass a tree. :o

cheers

[dungarover]

Never got to wash it today, couldn't be stuffed :eek: Project dunga will not be sold off as it's been a pretty good old Rangie. It runs, doesn't give me the ****s and does what is asked of it even if it rattles like it's going to fall to bits or chucks a wobbly on cold start-ups :eek: but the measerly amount of $$ I paid I can't expect much more can I :confused:

PDA will become a work vehicle/beach bum/not so hard trip vehicle. it's cheap and our so called 'stimulus package' paid for $900 of it so who's complaning. Once work gets busier again I can go out plastering on my own as planned a while back (had planned to after Xmas but it it died in the arse all of a sudden so I'm stuck making a wage working for the old man but better than nothing :mad::mad:)

Once I start on PDA I'll put up a new thread.
