Yeh, I can understand where you are coming from. To be honest, whatever version I buy, I'll probably remove the rear tub/body/cab floor/etc to gain access to the chassis top, A, so I can inspect it, B, so I can treat and protect it (as best possible). Yes, galv would be the way, but at present, I couldn't afford to go that route. I may though look for a decent 110 chassis, check it over thoroughly and make any required repairs, before getting it galvanised. It'll then sit to one side in my lock up until either the vehicles chassis requires replacement, or I just decide 'Sod it!' and pull the vehicle apart to carry out the swap. Like so many other people, all ideas at present, but I will be buying a 110 at some point in the next few months, which version though depends on money and distance (I'm right on the coast of SW Wales, so every decent (looking/sounding) one I find for sale is nearly always hundreds of miles away.

Thanks for the reply Need4speed & Arjan. I did think/hope that a Landy being big meccano set, would possibly be all bolt on/off, including different bodies. I did however want to check before making any expensive decisions. Will

Thank you for your reply Western. I haven't actually got a 110 yet, was just wondering how much of a job it is to convert as there seem to be plenty of HCPU's at a sensible price nearer to me than hard tops, that was all. Will

Hi folks, I wonder if you can help. I'm looking for a Defender 110 at the moment and was wondering how hard it is to change a High Capacity pick-up rear body for a van/hard top/station wagon type rear? Obviously the roof will be different and I guess the rear bulkhead too. More importantly though, what about the chassis? Is it just the bodies (rear tubs) that are different and they mount on the same mountings, or is the floor and seat box different as well? Sorry for all the questions. I did do a search on here first to see if I could find the topic already being covered anywhere, but didn't see it. Thanks in advance for any replies. Will
