Hi! Just joined here and thought I'd say hello. My name is Phil and I'm putting a 98 Disco 1 back on the road. It was sitting since 2013 and has a rusty frame and inner fenders, but it generally solid otherwise and has only 158K KM on it. I got it running fine so now it's at the welding shop getting the frame properly repaired. I also need to fab up gas tank brackets as the originals were rusted to bits, and they are NLA. It needs brakes all the way around as all the calipers are seized from sitting. I will do a hillbilly style rust repair on the inner fenders and floor as it won't show anyway. It also needs tires.
The rest of the truck is good, with all original paint that's in good shape, and a mint tan leather interior. I have the whole interior out at the moment to do the rust repairs, and of course it needs the headliner recovered. All the electrics work, the sunroofs do not leak, and even the A/C works!
Hoping to have it all ready to go by fall, as this will be my new winter ride. I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way, as this is my first LR.
Here's a pic, as we all know it never happened without pics! The MGB GT is also mine.
Cheers
Phil
