WTB Discovery Series 1 (Need body only, Epsom Green Pref.)

#1 Post by roverdevin » Wed Jan 17, 2018 8:46 am

Hi all...

I'm looking for a decent 1995-1998 Discovery 1 Body. Preferably with a decent interior. The condition of engine, transmission or driveline doesn't really matter.

Let me know if you have any leads!

I've got a parts disco that I don't need any more from body or interior
Now the bad news: I already took out the seats and cut a section of the floor out for my project.
The good news: I'd give you the bones pretty darn cheap if I could pull the drivetrain out first.

Hey;

What colour is the body? I am specifically looking for rear left panels in epsom (dark) green. I'm not 100% sure how practical it is to change those 2 panels (rear quarter body side, and rear pillar/door side (d panel?) Has anyone ever done this?

For anyone's information, in an aluminum panel Discovery vs. steel panel Caravan driveway battle, the Caravan comes out surprisingly well.

Alternative is to change the body as a unit, if I can find one in good shape with minimal rust to repair.

Hi folks; I’m still on the hunt for rear left quarter of an Epson Green Discovery 1. Anyone know of any parts cars out there this colour? The one I went to see had a big dent in the only panel I really needed!

I am willing to buy a whole car if need be at parts car price, or come and grab panels from someone else’s parts car.

Hi, I have 3 or 4 D1's. One of them is dark green. The rear panels are able to be swapped if you have a spot welder.

Sorry, they are not spot welded, Phillips headed screws inside the rear door opening, a few bolts at the top and lots of silicone/sicaflex.
