.LOL No, not abandoning the D2, just expanding the fleet.
I picked up a '96 D1 5-spd in late December for my wife, and since then I've picked both another D1 parts truck, and a D2 that needs a HG but which is really too nice to part out... (Yeah, that means I somehow have gone from 1 Disco to 4 Discos. My wife is ready to stage an intervention. ;-) )
IDK how old the hood blackout was on my D1, but it was peeling badly anywhere it had a hole in it, and taking it off truely sucked. Next time, I'll just paint it on...
