Ding dong looneyzoners
Resurrecting this yet again ... health wealth and family all took over so hopefully getting on with this again soon ..think I've got all the sh1te I need to at least make this into something respectable and worth towing ...
Loads to do so very far from a finished project still 4" too high as sat on cribbing .. big daft white bit on back will be lost ... hopefully when done will all be painted to match new colours on freelander

Would it make sense to take something like an old caravan chassis and put the back of the Freelander body onto it?
That way you have all the legal stuff as far as brakes are concerned sorted before you start and the Freelander body with all the heavy suspension bits removed would be much lighter too.
Edit, Oops, I just looked through your photos and I see you're already doing that.
Good luck with it.

Yes mate .. this will hopefully have decent off road ability so built on modern widetrack equivalent and plated at 1350kg .. caravan chassis would be fine for road use

Keep it on. It helps keeping stuff you put into the "Freelander-Trailer" dry from wet weather as well as security. If you are the sort who goes camping, the trailer could act like a micro caravan, to sleep in.
Plus it would look cool. I've seen Defender and Discovery turned into a trailer, and those would keep the roof on. So just go for it, it would be more recognised as a Freelander.
