I have until tomorrow afternoon to decide Seems very pricey! Probably has more value rebuilt as original to a MV enthusiast. Better off starting with a 110 CSW that needs some work.

yellow Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Problem is that I am in Belgium at the moment, and Defenders are priced at almost twice the value as a similar vehicle in the UK. I bought a 200tdi CSW last year for 4000 pounds and still need to 'do' the rear cross member and change the rear axle. (not to mention the RHD - LHD issue, which is fine with me, but the missus is quite irritated by it.) So, basically, I have a CSW, and could use this 'rolling chassis' to swap from RHD to LHD. Then I can also sell the parts left over from the swap (200tdi, gearbox, axles, etc...) Still do not know what to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 You should be OK provided that the chassis is straight. If that's bent then you've paid a lot of money for not very much, I'm afraid. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101sean Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 There are substantial differences between a XD Wolf body and civvy ones that may extend to chassis mounts as well. Allso standard and SW chassis differ in small ways, especially in rear passenger footwell mounts. Back axleis different as well Anything Wolf holds a premium, yiu could put yours on a new galvanised chassis for less.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
