i think it might be something simple...:rebel:

That'll be awesome if it is!! In your line of business do you get many opportunities like this to buy, or are you usually working for someone who has already bought it?

Damn that is pretty sweet...especially if you paid scrap price for it.

Great score! Hope it is something simple. Sounds like the tranny is working. I had a buddy look at one with a bad tranny. Was going to cost $2k for a used one so he backed out.

Be careful with that one. I had a 1994 Disco and you couldn't keep that thing running. The aluminum V8 runs way too hot to keep it running long. The high heat makes all the seals expand and contract and leak like a seive. The Lucas electronics are a nightmare too. I really like the layout of the inside, I just couldn't keep it running. If you can figure out how to get a SB Ford in it, then you got something. The ZF tranny is solid and the suspension is flexy. Just needs a heart transplant.
