I have a series 2 88 with a 300 tdi my friend has a new galvanised td5 chassis for free
Can I fit my landy on it without cutting or wielding it, (are there any engine mount converters )

Chassis is bigger so body work won’t fit.
Don’t chop the chassis

Are you in the U.K.?

Mostly a Series body will not fit a 90 chassis. Too many differences. Although you could make some of it work quite easily. But in the U.K. the vehicle would be illegal unless you got it IVA/SVA and you’d likely end up on a Q plate and loose it’s heritage/classic car status.

Keep the series 2 original and sell the 90 chassis. Original vehicles are getting rarer and hold their value much better.

Would be way too much work as I assume you would need to convert to coils
