My current project is taking too long and I'm about to start building my DD, so I think it's time to sell the project and get the rest of the parts for the build of the DD.

The project is an 87, 4 door (only have rear doors left and all are removed), AW4, 231. The front axle (disco) is no longer attached and I don't have the uppers any more. The rear is a D35 (I haven't opened it but sounds like it is welded). I think the coils are from a v8 grand and the rear is a bastard pack. The whole interior has been stripped (everything). The engine has had the lifters and all the seals replaced...but I have not started it since all the work (it is almost all together). The top has been chopped behind the c pillar and the windshield is gone. I was planning a buggy. I would like to sell as a whole before parting it out. I can take pics if needed, but it is in my very small garage and it is hard to get around.

The parts I need are bumpers (front and rear) with recovery points, Rusty's t-case skid for a 242, gas tank skid (not stock), leaves and shakles to net 5.5", quarter armor, gears, and lockers.

I have a re 5.5 coils, superflex lowers-fixed, fixed uppers, adjustable trackbar...all joints and bushings need to be replaced. I could used anything to rebuild these, or would consider trade for something 4.5".

price?

I suppose it depends on what all you want. It has a new exhaust manifold and new oil pan, new oil pump, and complete gasket set which all together cost about $400. I haven't really come up with an "asking price". I was hoping to come up with alot of the parts for my new build in trade, but I would take a reasonable offer.

I want to let everyone know it will still be alot of work to complete, or good parts (engine, tranny, t-case)....but I need work space back in my garage.

I'm not sure on price. I really don't want to sell it, but want to have something to wheel and it will take alot longer to finish than buildig my DD.

I know I didn't answer the question, but will take a reasonable offer. I can answer more questions over the phone, so if anyone wants to call me, either post here or PM me your number and I will call.

Does anybody want this? I really need my garage space back and I'm about to pull the drivetrain and send the rest to the scrap yard. The body is in good shape and rust free---it would make a great buggy.
