Hello Landy Lovers!

I am new to the forum scene but not to Land Rovers.

I am coming back into the fold so to speak, by giving up on biking and deciding to build a 200tdi Discovery based 100" Hybrid.

Not exactly novel I know, but it is my ideal considering how much my 'perfect' choice would cost these days!

So come autumn I will start looking for the donor disco for my build and of course will be heavily reliant on this forum for advice and tips.

can you explain what your hybrid idea is coz my disco has a 200tdi and a 100" wheelbase as standard.

Hello and thanks for the welcome!

It is because the disco has, as does the rangey, a 100" wheel-base that I have chosen it for my build!

The idea is to get the cheapest of the 3 formats, the disco, as an MOT failure, then lose the shell sold for spares and recycle the money into buying Land Rover 110" defender bodywork.

I will clarify later as to what I suspect I must do concerning a modification of the chassis over-hang, but basically all the front, seat-box, bulkhead, cab and the like will go on pretty much as is.

I do believe I have to chop off the disco chassis end member and weld on a defender one, then marry up the tub to fit, after a particular set of trimming and fitting mods.

Anyway, time and good advice will get me to where I want to be!

p.s. I will be wanting to trim and fit a hard-top with side-opening rear door as well!
