I think this is the best statement of 63 pages.

Interesting. I would stay with landrover parts for the gearbox, as it makes the job about 10X more straightforward. If you think the gearbox is over stressed, I would not go for the single mass flywheel, as it will make life of the gearbox harder. Does the P38 diesel not have an auto option? Daan

Are you sure a rear double cardan prop will solve your problems? a picture of rear prop angles would be good.

You were there... Daan

The trailer has been Mike'd. I mean, why is it that whenever you post on any thread it involves something mechanical that's been goosed. It doesn't matter what the subject is, get Mike involved and you can guarantee Carnage. Good morning anyway. Daan

Interesting. A shame the Landrover offering has a a year of time ahead. It would great if they were tied on time to market, so there will be a clear comparison.

The dutch prices have been announced: Defender 90: 94.300 euro. Defender 110: 101.300 euro. Defender 90 Commercial: 46.370 euro makes the UK prices seem low. Daan

Forgive me for the comparison, but it has clues from the Duster. They definitely looked at the wheels; You can have a new Duster for 10K, and not surprisingly, they get a big following, and gets used for off roading quite a bit.

Is it just me or does anyone else also think the 110 looks right, but the 90 looks completely wrong? Oh, and 18" wheels🙄

Probs look ok on 35s. Daan

I'd say that the v8 R380 is going to be a tight fit in an 88". The short case 380 or LT77 with a v8 conversion kit may be better to package behind the series grille, while maintaining reasonable propshaft length.

Plenty of fun with this at the moment! Daan

I think someone on here was involved with this idea at some stage, but decided better of it, as they were intending to take the car as is, without rebuilding anything, and he said that was madness. Which judging from this video is probably a fair assessment. Daan
