I quite fancy a D-lander but they is a disco + space frame and a Lightweight GRP gaylander type bodyshell. bit like a bowler or tomcat.

There is a D-Lander coming into my workshop next month. I worked on the original build and it's coming back for 'finishing off'.

Anyhow.....the D-Lander (IMHO) is certainly a head turner. Bit like a FL on steriods. There are a couple of FL bodies onto Disco chassis project on the go, but you have to remove a lot of floor from the FL shell to make it fit properly, not just (apparently) drop it onto the Disco body mounts!

It does seem a fairly good solution to the rotting Disco body if you only want a 3-dr. A K-series engined FL can be picked up for (a lot) under a £1000 if you get one with a completely expired engine. The bodywork does seem to have a hell of a lot less mud traps than a Disco.

I suggest that the 'nay-sayers' on here compare the rot in an R-reg FL shell to that in an R-reg Disco shell, even if both have been used as shopping trolleys.

Personally I think it is an interesting and pragmatic solution, just in this case, not executed very well
