Gremlin Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 So as the evolution progresses on my series, the next step is curing my bulkhead troubles. My series bulkhead is cracked in various places (Thanks to our really smooth roads and too many offroad forays) and i have had enough of patching it! So i may be getting a late 200tdi defender bulkhead in very good nik (purists run away! ) complete with all the gubbins attached and grafting it to the series. Now fitting defender inner arches with series front wings will make up for some space in the engine bay and makes for a neater installation (bit crammed at the moment). Now have any of you fitted def inner arches to a series chassis/wings, any pics or links?? Any pitfalls?? Grem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAFERS RULE!!! Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 What about DVLA originalty points system thingy? Where do you for insurance etc as its not original or a like for like replacement im not criticising any mods people do but what happens if you get caught and they crush it? How do you prove that it is the same vehicle as the log book and plate say it is when it is made up of a mass of different parts from completely different vehicles all of different ages?

Gazzar Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Maybe the rules in the Med are different from the UK? There are a lot of land rovers all around the world, and isn't it great! G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I suggest you park your SIII next to a Defender (do you know an owner?) and compare them. I have both and they are very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the DVLA points scheme regs carefully! You'll see bodywork accounts for zero points so you can do what the hell you like with it.

Gazzar Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Agreed! Especially if you don't live in the UK! G. PS: moves afoot to remove this freedom in the UK - in a couple of years the regulations will be much tighter (Main dealer lobby group has a lot of power). If you want to stop this might be a good time to write to your MP/MEP. Political rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I suggest you park your SIII next to a Defender (do you know an owner?) and compare them. I have both and they are very different. I know they are different! My dad owns a 110, i just wanted some specifics how people went about doing what i want to do, i am very sure others have done this. If not then wait for a long post on how to do it Grem PS No worries about body changes over here, all sorts of things are grafted together.......
