Alright just wanted to get some input on this. Im debating whether or not to sell the rover and work on the jeep (83 waggy) or just keep my car and slowly build it up.
Pros of selling the rover:
1. easy to find parts for jeep
2. easier to work with the jeep
3. parts are cheaper
Cons:
1. less functional as a daily driver
2. will take a lot of work and time
Specs on the waggy:
44 front
20 rear
amc 360 in need of a tune
727
np208
and lots of rust.
Option 1- Wagoneer.
more than likely just go with a soa setup with highsteer, mildly build up the axles, beef up the engine and trans, re-do interior, paint job.
Option 2- Discovery
cut the fenders (flares), build up axles (finding parts could be a ***** and expensive), maybe do some stuff to the engine and trans (neither seem very strong)
so far i have had a good experiance with the disco but if i build it up and get more aggressive off road, stuff will break, and parts for the damn thing are through the roof, thats the only concern i have with keeping it.
comments are welcome, keep in mind both will still be daily drivers.
