IVe just been reading through this months issue of lro iinternational. and saw paul darlows 100inch svx. and i must say what a machine. but one thing that confused me a little bit is how he extended the chassis. it said he litterally cut the ninety chassis in half and welded 7 inches of steel into it. but surely that wouldnt be road legal because its a mayjor chassis mod. can anyone else explain.
cheers
 
I'm sure chassis can be lengthened!

Seen double cabs done professionally with the rear tub of a single cab, therefore making it longer.

Not much different to doing a quarter chassis repair, just adding metal as you put it back on,

Sure that wasn't just a 130 you saw?
 
My first landy was a 100". Started life as a 110 and got shortened in the wheelbase department and also shortened behind the rear wheels and was just welded back up again. Never a problem come MoT time. I wonder if it's still out there? Q325BCH

It appears it was given a Q plate perhaps due to these modifications.... ?
 
It was on a Q plate as it was built from parts: 110 chassis, disco engine, God knows where the rest of it came from. Suffice it to say I didn't build it myself. I just meant to say that chopping the chassis about apears not to be a problem as far as legality is concerned. Never broke down neither.
 
Far too blingy - a nice concept spoiled by extreme chav-ness - each to his own tho I suppose..................
