Advice wanted from Series owners
Hey guys. I'm at a point where I need to make a decision and I need some advice. I recently bought a 98VW golf and it is a superb car. My 97 Discovery XD is sitting at home, and only being used when I come home on weekends. I have wanted a series rover that I can use every day for a long time and I'm not sure I need the Discovery anymore. My last Series rover project turned out too nice to use it for what I want to use them for, so it's become dad's baby.(my avatar pic) My other 88 is saveable but I'm not prepared to do another full on project just yet. I have had 2 88's and a 109 and loved them all, but never really got to use them as daily drivers. I commute a lot(why I bought the VW) If I were to buy, lets say a late 2A 109, what kinds of things could I expect on a regular basis? I'll probably keep it close to stock but am not sure what kinds of mods I'd like to do to make it better. I guess that comes with experience. I know there are useful mods out there like high ratio xfer cases and electronic ignitions but are they really necessary? I've found a few 109's I really like but I'm not sure I'm ready to take the plunge and buy one yet. If I do my XD will be up for sale (see my post in the D1 forums)
Any of you who use Series trucks regularly have any advice to give? Thanks.
