anyone ever tried putting a D2 body on a D1 chassis
I was pondering with that idea the other night, think a guy in south america who uses this forum did a 200tdi in a td5 but kept chassis

Don't think it fits, looked it up earlier, in their wisdom lr changed most things with the d2 but kept it looking almost identical

I stand corrected, apparently you can put a Nissan v6 diesel in a d2, thought if I was to change chassis why not go the whole hog....??
it's a Land Rover with a good hammer, grinder and a welding set you can make any part off one Landie fit another.......well almost

hmm td5 is a nice engine, if your gonna keep it why not get a galv chassis put on? A friend with a 300tdi defender had it done when theres was shot but they live near the sea

I love the v8, running costs are a concern but carrying 3 tonnes we got 21mpg at times. (Downhill with wind behind us!) can't get LPG outside of civilisation though, apart from USA haha get it
