toptrumps2 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hello =] Im new to LR4x4 and only just got my self a 110 safari. I swapped the 2.25 with a 200tdi but now looking at swappin the body shell. The story behind getting the landrover was i needed too pull atleast 2 tons, my "old" ford ranger just couldnt do it so u found my self a cheap 110, i really wanted a single cab or double but nothing was in my price range. Yeh back to my questions: How much would you expect a solid safari body to go for? Is it a easy to swap the bodys over? Anything i should look out for? Where and how can i source the bodys i want on it? Thank you very much :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a roof and rear window (and just make a bulkhead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustynuts Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi, just put a straight bulkhead in aft of the rear doors and alpine windows. Thats the beauty of a defender, you can do all sorts with the body work. No need to have a proper double cab roof, just chop yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
