Land Rover conversions
Friday morning dreaming….
Just like to throw a thought out there for discussion. I dream of a LR based camper, something with a fibreglass back and fully equipped.. OK nothing unusual about that (specially here in HUBB) and I don’t have a 40.000 euro budget…
So to kick off am I right in saying a Discovery 200 or 300 tdi is the same as a Defender 200 or 300 mechanically ? the reason I ask, is here in Belgium a 110 defender 200 will cost you 10.000 euro the same year / and better condition discovery will cost 5.000 euro (I guess it’s the same almost every where) … Big difference…
So that has me thinking, buy a Disco cut off the back, graft on a fiber-glass back or a Defender pick-up back !!! and its at this point I’ll ask why haven’t I heard or seen anyone else doing this ? someone will tell me the Disco chassis isn’t level …too narrow … grafting fibreglass to the Disco front will be impossible to make water proof !!! then getting a SVA !! what am I missing…
Back to work I guess…
Salut Matt
