LR3

A few months ago I was looking through a new classified ad website that I'd never seen before and came across a Land Rover LR3 for sale for super cheap ($3K). I knew Sean was a sucker for these cars and he'd been expressing lately how uncomfortable his current car had become (his back has not been doing great). So off he went in the truck and trailer for a 10 hour drive to retrieve this non-functioning SUV. It had some suspension issues where air bladders that normally keep it up off the tires were not working correctly. So it was an unintentional "low rider" until Sean could figure out what was wrong.

He was excited for a project though, and it turned out to be one! It was well kept in its first home and then sold to a guy that used it as a construction/work vehicle, I believe to haul guys to and from work sites. It was really dirty on the inside with a large paint spill in the back seat. It took hours and hours (and hours) of scrubbing, vacuuming and detailing to make it nice again. Luckily leather cleans pretty well.

He fixed the suspension and got it running well and now has a great commuter vehicle. It's very comfortable! I'm happy he's happy. I'm also happy he's been taking the kids to school each morning, it's so nice!
