Hello chums! just bought my second defender. It’s on a D, and I ain’t is looking awful, although not much sign of tin worm. ive always liked things a bit rough and ready (just gotta look at er indoors to confirm that) and for a brief while was looking at doing a rat rod. Maas wondering what...

This is why I seek the advice of you guys!!! How about cutting it off and a bloody big slab of checker plate??? I’m serious.....

Sorry am I not being clear here- I don’t intend to remove the full roof, just cut off part of the back to firm a tub from the last third of the wheel base(last the second row of seats). Does that make sense?

Have you seen one in particular? Any body out there think this is a good/bad idea?

I’m looking at scaling back my gardening business and selling on my old 110 pick up. I want to get rid of the need for a domestic car and pick up, so I thought I’d see if it was straightforward(ish) to get a county, and take the back off to create a pick up bed while retaining the seating...

I know- any shrewd folk will be jumping on the old series 3/early 110s ....prices WILL go up.... esoecially those with 200tdis and power steering fitted

Hi guys, So I’m an occasional lurker. I drive a big old bus- a 110 with a unique pick up body. I’m always around Barnes, sw london and I honk and wave at all defenderamas whenever I see you! I’m starting to get ratty about the ULEZ extension that crook khan is bringing in.... anybody worked...

Very inexperienced mechanic here. How easy/difficult would it be to mate the chassis, running gear/dash of a 110 and put the body on of an old Austin? Please don't slate- just looking for answers not insults!

Thanks for the advice gents. To oldseadog, on point 2, is the coil obvious to see? To simonm15, will the radweld work being put into the smaller radiator that pushes the coolant into the larger radiator? Best wishes, Mark

Dear agents and gals, Pity me, for I am a novice mechanic with a Land Rover. In fairness, I hear a lot of people moaning about the reliability of old 110's, and I must say my old gal normally runs sweet. 5 years of ownership and no problems although I only do 1000 miles a year ( it's a v8)...

Thanks Paul D, but as good aas they are (although not as good as a Landy). Toyotas are common as shixte and I like the idea of something a bit different. If anybody knows if the body is easily lift able off on this Austin, I'd be grateful to know. Likewise, further ideas on how to modify it...

"I suspect, being so old, that the Austin has a separate body and chassis, so effectively that just means a body swap ... simple really ... ;)". Just to clarify that would mean that all of the Austin body would go onto a disco chassis... Is that the most straightforward way? How...

Firstly, I want to say I'm a complete novice on mechanics. I'd like to take on what I consider to be a great project if it's at all possible. I've seen an Austin Sheerline pick up. It's 1951, and I can visualise an amazing vehicle. The trouble is, parts! And the fact that I want this to...
