new to here and landrovers

Hey just thought i would say a big hello, i am new to land rovers, as well as landrovers i love old minis and i am am in the process of building one form the ground up. I dont actually have a landrover atm but am trying to get a good mechanical understanding about them before buying one. I would like a bit of a project to tinker with I would like one of them defender 130's that the MEB used to use with the cab on the back and convert it into a off road campervan to tour europe with, is it pureist site her and would it be frowned upon to do that to that vehicle.

g'day bloke, purist site ah dint think so, one member even stuck a goldfish bowl on his landy, or was it a coffee pot.
