EFILandRover Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi all, I have a 1986 110 with two completely buggered front guards. Unfortunately here in NZ it is near on impossible to get second hand body panels for these vehicles without selling your kidneys so Im looking for other options. I know the arches and grill mounting locations are different, but is it possible to modify s3 guards to fit a 110?

Gremlin Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Not really, you can change the skin, but you have to cut the series ones up to fit the arches as the wheel opening is a different shape. The front part is also a bit different. Its doable but its a lot of work. I modified series mud gaurds to fit 110 inner arches. Basically they are completely different but with work you could make them fit. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh NZ Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Seconded. That wouldn't happen to be 110 from trademe with the LD28 would it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFILandRover Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Haha yea it is. Pretty much stole it from the guy Seconded. That wouldn't happen to be 110 from trademe with the LD28 would it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh NZ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just a thought, Would it be feasible to try stage 1 v8 panels? There's not really a shortage of those in NZ, there's one being broken in Dunedin currently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yes you could but they are still series 3 items, so fitting and chopping will still apply.......... G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The front panels are very similar, so could be swapped and riveted to the Defender inner wing braces that support the slam panel. The outer wings will bolt straight on, and you can just cut the wheel arches, leaving tabs in the right places to be folded back in for the wheel arch spats to be clipped to. The wheel arch wouldn't be quite as rigid, but it works well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, will have a look into that if I can find some cheap enough I don't understand, those will polish out fine Also a plan, Was trying to avoid it as it wont look perfect but worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 you can put defender inner wings in series wings and cut out the series inner wing panels. its what i did to gain more room for engine bay stuff they mount to the bulkhead the same and heres only a bit of cutting and drilling required (if holes dont line up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh NZ Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Although I may have just bought another whole 110 Just waiting on confirmation Just casually! I wish I could do that for my stage 1! There's an ex army one down the road from me that was up for a bargain but is now under a tarp on his lawn... oh to have the cash. I would break it just for the army trim + front prop + proper landy wheels and tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another case of being in the right place at the right time and a dad willing to grab it for because I live in another island Wouldn't have either of them if he wasn't as obsessed with rovers as I am.
