100" TDI Defender

[landrover598]

the rust comes up as far as the hand brake drum  so whilst i've got the chance i'm going to swap the chassis

i believe in "if your going to do a job, do it properly and do it properly the first time"

there's no point in bodging something cos it'll only come back and bite you in the ass 

[landrover598]

here's my other donor vehicle





picking it up on saturday with a huge thanks to Gary

Sounds a bit like my chassis, they are prone to rust in the rear "dip" but that all gets removed



Marker pen line everything below can go...actually everthing to the rear of that crossmember on the right can go...just make up new sections to attach the rear crossmember...

[Motorhead]

Whats wrong with the 110 chassis

[landrover598]

back of the chassis is shot through (large holes in rear x member)

i see a theme coming here 

[4x4landy.co.uk]

what engine are you going to use?
The RaRo is a 200tdi and the 110 is a 300tdi
Your killing 3 vehicles for one damn you








p.s want a proper 200tdi cowling? it wont fit in with the discovery 200tdi

[landrover598]

i think i'm going to use the 200 tdi and sell the 300 tdi

[4x4landy.co.uk]

So is this 100" costing you nout to make once you buy6 all these motors and flog them?

[landrover598]

thats the plan, the defender will almost be free once i've sold the engine 

[4x4landy.co.uk]

Thats what i was thinking you seen the 1964 hybrid in the yellow book?
3.5v8 on coils grizzly claws and some sort of lift and a winch for £1250?

[landrover598]

no, but a nice motor for you, work hard at your job and some day you could have a landy as good as mine 

[4x4landy.co.uk]

no, but a nice motor for you, work hard at your job and some day you could have a landy as good as mine 

lol
Well when I turn 18 I have got 4k to do what I like with compensation from a crash wen I was 6. would that be enough to buy your 100" 

But honestly i wanted a hybrid(tax exempt) for cheaper insurance and free tax(a tdi hopefully)

[landrover598]

i wanted a hybrid(tax exempt) for cheaper insurance

 

and no, my 100" will NOT be for sale 

[Motorhead]

I'd have been more inclinded to shorten the 110 chassis, would save a shit load of fabricating with outriggers...and rear ends got to be replaced on whatever chassis you use

[landrover598]

i thought that but for some reasons i don't fancy a cut and shut 

i'd rather stick with the rangy chassis as it will be more of a challenge and more rewarding to build

[fruity]

I can assure you Dave that nothing is as much of a challenge as trying to make 2 halves of a 110 chassis meet up and be square in all 3 planes - especially as landrover didn't go to the expense of making the chassis rails exactly the same length in the first place

I must admit that if and when I do another 100" I'll do it on a rangie chassis - much less for the SVA man to inspect on the critical welding front if you do it legal.
 
Nice to meet you at the weekend though Dave and keep us posted - looking rather black and shiny so far.

[landrover598]

Nice to meet you at the weekend though Dave and keep us posted

Nice to meet you too John, and thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it 

the 110 will definitely be arriving on Saturday so i'll have plenty of things to keep me out of trouble 

[Mark90]

And the RR chassis is now on the trailer, so looking good for friday evening.

[landrover598]

thanks very much Mark   

[Millsy]

Hey Dave, you want some proper 110 doors with liftup handles... 


 

[landrover598]

No thanks 

i'm going for the smart, new look 

[landrover598]

i finally finished removing the body work from the chassis

i'll wait until the new chassis is here before i pull the engine and boxes out

[landrover598]

A huge thanks to Mark90 and his Mrs for bringing me a far better chassis

 

Thanks a lot mate



i'll be picking up the 110 tomorrow 

[Lightweight Nat]

do you know, it took me several seconds of looking at that chassis to work out which end was which 

[OrbitalPear]

Is that a kiddies swing and a tirfor?
