New guy hoping to learn

Hi guys. I found your forum on Google and liked the look of it. I'm just in the process of buying a fairly tired 90, but it's got good kit on it. Internal roll cage, lift kit, V8 lump. I'm looking to fix it up to use as a toy, and hopefully either supercharge it or squeeze a Trans Am engine into it, and fit an auto box from a Range Rover.

I'll be picking your brains fairly soon, and hopefully you wont get fed up with my stupid questions! I love landys but my mechanical knowledge is hopeless. We all have to start somewhere though don't we?

I've had two landys in the past, a D90 300tdi hardtop and a D110 300tdi pickup. Both cost me far too much money to be my every day vehicle so I now drive an L200

Now you hate me, I'll speak to you all later!

Cheers,

Neil

Mounting a Hummer H1 Body Shell on Disco 1 drivetrain

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone.
I am a cardiologist and working on cars is my hobby. I am currently mounting a Hummer H1 body (Ex US Army) which I bought off a scrap yard in USA , onto a Land Rover Discovery 1.
The project is going well. I have extended the chassis of the Disco by 22 inches and now plan to transplant the hummer shell on to it.
I will be posting pictures on this forum soon.

That's an interesting one! Personally I want my 90 to look like a 90. Most of the appeal of a Defender is the look of the front end, so it will have to stay standard (apart from a tube winch bumper and maybe some roof mounted lights)

welcome to the forum mate.

Welcome to the Loony Bin!!

post some piccys of your new landy when you get it!

I'll post some pics as soon as I get it. I've not seen it myself yet so I have no idea what I'm likely to end up with. I'm told it's tidyish but needs some work. To be honest my main interest in it are the add-ons. I was planning to buy a scrapper for panels and parts and buy an engine, box and chassis for it. As this thing sounds drivable and it's going to cost me around £500 I can't see how much can go wrong. I will get my money back easily by breaking it if I have to, the current owner just wants rid and can't be bothered I guess.

Whatever happens, I'm really looking forward to getting my new rust bucket!

Love the Tans-Am engine idea, Hope it works out.
