Hmm. Quick question, are all 110 chassis the same? (Hi cap, SW, double cab, single cab, etc)
Strange rover looks good. I like. Looks like RRC front wings?
Insurance is a box ticking matter. It is. I was asking about the DVLA because I havnt the faintest idea how their office situation works, I thought they might have an office for say, all the most popular things, say 1 for stolen cars, 1 for insurance wright offs, 1 for classic/kit car questions ect, and within that office there might be a dude/dudette who is the kit car guy, an LR guy, and probably a few other people for the FAQ cars. But thats just a stab in the dark.
And yeah, welding mate, if his welds are strong enough for a rust repair, then Im sure theyll suffice. Hes a fully qualified engineer who fixes big oil rigs and has 3 LRs himself (110 td5, '94 rrc, '04 d2 v8) but unsupprisingly he doesnt really want to cut his up.
The idea for the project was mine, he thinks its a good idea, we agree it can be done in a safe/high quality/functional way, but if in needs to be IVAed and get a Q-plate then its going to take ages and ages and frankly I/we cant be bothered. It needs to go together and then be ready to go, not be completed and then take the best part of a year to actually get it registered etc. Also it will loose tax exemption. I should also include that Im going to be studying engineering physics and am not a deluded idiot who wriggled out of a straight jacket. And its not a mickey mouse uni, I got 7A*s and 3As at GCSE (which were pre covid, so real exams)
Thats not to brag! Ill be the first to admit that Ive got the least bit of experience and very few tools. I just want to see if theres any way to meet/twist the rules to not have to go through IVA before buying a load of tools and a lot of bits of Land rovers. I really do want to give this sort of thing a go, so Im trying every angle I can think of, and so far it seems that its all a dead no. Which is a shame, but Ill always be back when I get another idea
