Ive Got A Series 3 But I Was Gonna Put A Defender Body Onit. Wud This Be Simple Or Not??? Cheers
 
The Series is muchly much much better loookin. If yer want it to look like a Depender get a Depender. But if you do the swap an your doors are Ok I'll swap yer.
 
Wat U Mean Bout Doors? Im New To The Land Rover Game. Ive Got A Series 3 But Ive Bought A Badly Rotten Defender N I Wanted To Do The Swop But Alot Of People Have Said It Wont Work!
 
the only thing i can see not letting it work is the difference in wheelbases, the sIII swb has an 88", whereas the 90 has a 92.something wheelbase and therefore the wheel arch wouldnt line up and the rear tub would be too long
 
Do U No If I Can Fit The Windscreen N Front End Onto The S3 And Also Wus The Dash Fit Then? Cheers
 
the 90 screen/roof join is different to the sIII so they wont go together. and u wouldnt be able to put the 90 roof on because it will be too long.
 
Dunno about the lengths and the tub but it's common to defenderize the front end of a series Yella did his. The front end from a Defender will fit an Ive got a 90 but want the flappy handled doors rather than the push button handles and the slidey winders and removeable door tops but doubt if yours'll be that type.
 
Cheers For That.ive Got The One With Removeable Door Tops And Flappy Door Handles But Wanted To Put The Front End Off Defender On.
 
the front wings and grill should fit with out any major problems and i think you could put a one piece screen in insted of the two piece SIII one
 
look on the bay for new panels. brand ew pair of s3 wings are only £250. could make the whole thing pristine with galve chassis fo less than a grand. that would be worth wile

it cant be done ,its bin try'd afor. . .the three pigs ta weight ratio is not conjusive ta mot standards. . . . .
 
piece o ****, i done mine last year, ignore these ****s, its down to personal opinion, if you wanna do it just do it. leave the ser 3 wings and just fit a defender front panel and bonnet, the screen is easy enough but the roof is a bastard unless you have a truckcab.if you want a hard top you need to graft the front of a defender roof onto the rear of the series roof, the doors just swap over, but you need the striker plates off a defender as the catches are different on push button doors, hope this helps ;)
