Im looking at making a discovery pick up out of my rusty 3 door. Using the Longranger cab conversion. Mainly for something different and to put my bikes in the back. If I didn't modify the chassis at all would I get away with not having to go through VOSA and all the other rubbish that bobtails and tray backs have to go through?

Im a little on the dark on this but from what I have read its only when the chassis is modified that things go downhill regarding using it on the roads?

No vosa check required as all you are doing is altering the body style. No different to dropping a Freelander shell on a disco chassis - it's still a disco, just a different body plan

Yeah I emailed Longranger when I first thought about it but never had a reply, hopefully they will be at the show this weekend.

Thanks that's pretty much what I was hoping for
