Well, this was the work done "this time"! Add to it all the previous work done and I've pretty well got a fully rebuilt V8 D2 excepting the bodywork!!
I have thought of getting rid of her due to the cost of running the V8, but there's so much work been done on it now, there's no finance on it, and I'd probably end up buying something else that needs as much work doing on it again. At least someone would have a bloody good V8 Disco though, so it might as well be me!
