Anyone wanna by a disco?
Austin Shackles
3.5 V8i, 1992 K (or might be '93, I forget) manual, about 114K miles I
think.
Good:
engine, 'box (no obvious signs of spline wear - I think it'd had a recon box
in before we bought it), LPG with twin underfloor tanks. Recently had new
vented front discs and new calipers. Some kind of SS exhaust but it's a
fair few years old. C-pillars are good. Battery less'n a year old.
Bad:
rear floor rusty, will likely need repair or replacement for next MOT.
Petrol gauge dead. Petrol pipes rusty and leaking slightly if run on
petrol, but on gas, don't leak 'cos the pump's off, and no pressure. Some
dings and dents, although body's quite sound otherwise. rear bit by the
back door stay rusty, sill need attention same time as the rear floor, I
guess. I did fix the bit for the stay to attach to, but not very nicely as
it was gonna need more work anyway.
Tyres unknown as chances are we'll keep the set that's on it and swap them
for the ones on the replacement. Unless of course the replacement has
really nice ones on, in which case we won't bother. I'll know the answer to
that on Saturday.
It'd make a good cheap hack, if you're inclined to fix it, or a project for
an off-roader. Chassis is sound, AFAIK. Didn't get any comments on the
last test, anyway.
tested 'til Feb next year sometime.

Tyres are now from the replacement one: quite good Wrangler HP on the front,
more-or-less worn down (but stil legal) GT+4 on the rear.
