missingsid Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Not sure what these are? They are called Series 2 and Defender 90 110 but they are NOT replacement panels, they are copies but not swapable with the original. Copyright?

Nonimouse Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Before delivery It's essentially an aluminium self supporting body that you can bolt onto a chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Remember 90 and 110 are rocking horse poo In the states and very expensive. They have a reasonable kit car industry over there much like we do here. So if you can't find/afford a real one....... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If only they made decent all-alloy doors that bolted on to original trucks, now THAT would be worth it. Not sure I see the point of a much thicker/stronger aloominum body for a LR... surely the point is the body doesn't need to be strong?

I would beg to differ on that. Over the years I have seen the result of a couple of LRs tail ended by trucks, with the body just wiped off. Can only say I am very pleased that I was not in them !

paime Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The pics of the 110 look like everything is shorter (height wise) than a standard defender or is it just my eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That pretty much takes away the only redeeming feature of a Land Rover body. That it is a meccano set that can be taken apart and changed as desired and as needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is it just me or does nothing line up properly on the front end? The bonnet is too long and the light surrounds go above the curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Ali burns quite well so not good for a fire delaying bulkhead to seperate the passenger compartment from the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 True, but there are fully aluminium based cars/kit cars on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonnet is too long and the light surrounds go above the curves. In fairness, Land Rover never bothered aligning stuff properly either - all Defenders have droopy front wings because the bonnet slam panel is 7mm longer than the space between the chassis brackets for the bottoms of the wings, and the plastic light surrounds slope even more because the sidelight and indicator positions in the plastic are off by a few mm too. The right wing is invariably worse than the left, and it really shows on aircon models where the light surround touches the extended nose - the gaps are very different. But yes, the whole front end looks a little short and the curvature of the wing fronts does look to be a more continuous profile than the original. Does anyone else dislike the absence of the wing panel joint lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Maybe it is just me, but I would expect my custom hand built body to be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think the larger radius on the front of the wings is almost entirely why it looks wrong - that appears to be a standard defender bonnet that's fitted (presumably why it's painted when the rest is bare metal), and it overhangs because it's made to meet the much tighter radius of the standard wings.
