1999 Land Rover Discovery w/ 300tdi turbo diesel

   Just wrapped up this very nice-looking 199 Discovery 1 -   I kept this one an automatic,  very easy and nice to drive.   300 TDI engine just got a new timing belt, seals, and water pump -  Runs and drives great.

      As you can see, truck is very clean and looks sharp.       NON-Sunroof option, so no leaky and broken sunroofs to deal with.   Very straight and no rust.   All power options work as they should.

      Deciding what to do with it now,   if you are interested in learning more message me direct at zombiemotors@earthlink.net    -   Ill add more information later,  for now I thought I would just post a few photos -

New Container / Defender parts - PTO Winch, Soft Tops, Transmissions, Doors Wolf WMIK Baskets..

   Sorry for not posting more updates lately,  but it has been a busy few weeks/ months here at the shop and in the new world of Daddyhood...    I did however receive a new container on Friday and spent the weekend unloading, unpacking and attempting to organize.     A couple of very cool cars here, too!     I have made a new connection in the UK -  A gentleman there who is a great welder and is also a fair bit obsessed with Defender Wolf WMIK trucks - he has built a replica for himself with all proper WMIK bits, and has begun to make replica parts for them too -   I bought a couple of the bonnet baskets from him, unfinished  -   Will be asking $150 each for them and will will need paint or to be powdercoated.

     OF course, the diesel Toyota Landcruiser and 1968 Series 2A 88" tdi-powered beast are here, too -  Both a lot of fun to drive,  I think I will be keeping the 2A as the new shop truck and get a trailer for it.     

  I have a Defender-Specification 300tdi kit here that I am not going to use -  it was totally rebuilt only 16K miles ago and so I paid a pretty penny for it.   Comes with everything to put in your Series or Defender (OR Forward Control, Wolf, etc ) INCLUDING Floor panels, air filter, shift sticks,  correct R380 5-speed Defender spec gearbox, as well as all the usual parts in the kit.     Considering its rarity and fresh condition, I want $6000 for this.  

   I have an Early Defender / Series truck 19J Turbo diesel (Pre 200-tdi) 2.5 , a perfect/ direct fit in your Series truck, runs like a champ,  $2200 .  

   I have a set of correct Defender wheels,  $500 for the set of six. 

   TWO Defender 90 soft top kits, complete, $1500 each - Include canvas, all bows,  door frame bits and windshield top rail.

   I have a REBUILT R380 Defender-spec 5-speed  gearbox - Zero miles on total rebuild,  $1500

  I have a COMPLETE FW PTO Winch kit for your Defender 90 or 110 (Will fit Series trucks too with little modification) -  Sold in fine working order, complete with front bumper,  winch itself,  driveshafts,  operating levers, and gearbox which easily bolts to the back of your transmission -  $1500 for this.

    Plus lots and lots of little parts,  engine bits, NEW 300tdi cylinder heads,  etc etc etc......

1988 Toyota Landcruiser LJ70 - MORE PICTURES

     Here are some more pictures we took right before slipping the Landcruiser into the container -  Very solid,  with the one crack on a fiberglass wheel lip trim the worst of the truck, in my opinion.   Very solid, honest, and BOX-STOCK Toyota turbo-diesel Land Cruiser should be a lot of fun!   Here are more pictures, as promised :


















1995 Range Rover LWB/Soft Dash Classic w/300tdi diesel & R380 5-speed - very pretty!



    We are just wrapping up this 1995 Long Wheelbase Range Rover this week,   it has a low-mileage 300tdi that we went ahead an put a new timing belt in as well as new clutch/ engine seals/ etc.    Has new fluids of course,  so come and get it and you are good for the next 60K miles until you need to service this truck.

   This Rover is a 1995 'Soft Dash Classic'  in 'Cornish Cream'  -   Sort of an off-white.   The body on this truck is super-nice.    Truck came out of Texas and therefore has absolutely no rust.   There is one very tiny ding at the very rear of the truck, down low,  just in front of the rear bumper, very hard to see,   other than that the body is perfect!   Truck has not been detailed yet as of these pictures being taken, I will update photos later.     Truck chassis has 140K miles on it,   engine and gearboxes have just over 90K,  but as I mentioned have just been serviced and will be good for 100-150K more miles before anything serious will have to be done, provided you take care of maintenance.

   Interior is very nice too,   but seats are a bit faded.   Slightly lighter than 'tan' leather,   I think they may be referred to as 'parchment' -?    Headliner is nice,   dash is perfect,  everything works (windows/ seats/ etc)  -   I have a complete set of black leather non-power (manual) seats I may try to swap in to see if they look nice -    Otherwise these seats are nice and will look better after truck is detailed.

    Engine is super-string and truck starts, runs, drives and stops as it should.     EAS Air Suspension is still in place and working fine albeit a little slow when it first raises up.     I can swap out for solid springs/ shocks if you prefer,  $1000-$2000 more depending on what brand you would like to go with.

   Not sure what else to tell you about the truck -  As you know you can not find a 300tdi-Range Rover in the states unless you build one yourself.   This is how they come in the rest of the world, and they run and drive great!  Tons of torque off the line,  will cruise all day at 75-80MPH, and return 30MPG or better on the freeway.       Very cool driving a Range Rover with a stick shift, too!

   Stereo sounds great.    Still factory with subwoofer and CD changer in the rear.
