sutty_32 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Just while I was welding up the front arches on my disco the thought again came into my head of just throwing the body away and doing a 100inch hybrid project (and then promptly watched all of a 4x4 is born ) Thing is, I would quite like to keep the 4 door set up, and wondered if anybody has made a 4 door 100 inch, I've only seen 2 door versions. I've seen some piccy's of the original ones land rover did for the swiss and some were 4 door. I was thinking about getting a full 110 body and making the tub really small at the back and perhaps modifying the doors if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 There was one on eBay not long ago gun metal colour had four doors but no rear seats didn't look bad but needed a bit of sorting out. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Dunsfold has one or two 100" 4 door Land Rovers. I also saw one a while ago in one of the rags but we are talking many years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty_32 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think a trip to dunsfold for inspiration is in order then, cheers for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant. Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 this is the ebay one: clicky clicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'd thought of this, and I'm thinking the best way would be to shorten a 110 body, including shortening the rear doors down to fit the shorter gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Tonkin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The legroom in the back of a 110 is bad enough without losing 10" more!!I have been thinking about a 100 with a standard 90 tub but the seatbox further back and extended doors to get more driver legroom.

sutty_32 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Do it! I have thought about it before and would really fancy it. Thats all I have to say. Wouldn't you need a disco or 110 as a starting point rather than the 90 pick up this is the ebay one: clicky clicky Cheers Grant, could maybe make the back doors a little larger and squeeze some seats in there, looks like a promising start! I'd thought of this, and I'm thinking the best way would be to shorten a 110 body, including shortening the rear doors down to fit the shorter gap. Thats what I'm thinking, they manage to fit seats and a decent sized door in a disco, so it must be possible, just need to judge the overhang on the rear too to get a decent boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 this is the ebay one: clicky clicky rear side doors next to useless for passengers to get in/out. not sure about the fuel tank inside the body, no fire or spillage protection for the occupants.

Was thinking the 10inches would be lost a bit more in the boot space rather than leg room, but also wondered if this would leave the boot a bit useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part1cle Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Slight variation on a theme here: LINK. It's a NCF Sahara, made from an old S1 Disco. They are usually two seaters but as they are tailor made they can be pretty much in any format. The website's here: NCF LINK Will be interesting to see one in the flesh at Billing as he is having a stand there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 if you could make the rear doors to sit more over the wheel arch and therefore you sit more over the wheel arch, (like a disco) then surely its very doeable ! would allow a longer door aswell. like the dunsfold ones i guess....

The website's here: NCF LINK Will be interesting to see one in the flesh at Billing as he is having a stand there. They look like nice well made bits of kit, I especially like the way the roll cage is built into the rear tub, thinking of doing that on a challenge truck. Would prefer more defender style doors though so I don't have to hope over them to get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
