heres a few of the build and two of it in action, note the tubular wings in the last picture, i was fed up of dinging the original wings in trials,
i got loads more photos but they are a bit boring. just photosof individual parts.

i bought mine intending to fixit up
and kind of on a whim
but as im not really a disco person ive decided given the amount of work and that ive got more 110 bits in decent nick than disco bits then hybrid it is and as its for the wife i can get my 90 back

i enjoyed the build, it took just over a year from lamping off the disco body to the first trial and that was working nearly every weekend!
when i cut the body off i took the engine and box off the chassis and got a local guy who sandblasts houses to come and clean the chassis for me, cost me £80 and he took three hours. ( i think he was doing a bit of work on the side!!) it was the best £80 i ever spent becuase it would have taken weeks with a wire brush and grinder. it left the steel shiny and bright and had a perfect finish for taking a few layers of primer.
when you look underneath it now it looks real nice. smooth and clean

Some pictures would be very welcome, I've just had word of a disco chassis going on sale shortly. I would like to do a hybrid Landy but have not done this before, I've got the welding and fabricating skills to it and shotblasting skills and kit to do it. I want to do a 6x6 when I have more space for the extended chassis lol. The disco/defender hybrid does appeal to me at the moment and the space I have will accomodate the build.
