1999 Land Rover Discovery 1
Current mileage: 180,xxx
This Rover was purchased in fairly rough shape for only $500. After about 4 years, I was able to really bring it back to life. The CDL was fused up, brakes shot, electronics cooked, leaky sunroofs. You will find many updates throughout this blog on the various projects and you can watch the video I took in October 2018 with the updates to that point, click here.
