discomikey Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 most likely the best comprimise between keeping a nice round wheelbase number (88-109, 110-90 etc) whilst raiding the existing RRC parts bin for stuff. wouldnt surprise me if the propshafts that they had found lying about were what dictated the wheelbase in all honesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Noisy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Regards 4 door 90 Stumbled across this the other day Now I don't profess to know what it is but maybe some of you more ejookatid chaps could work it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Iirc that's 6cyltdi on here, it's a 100" with cut down rear doors.* *all of the above could be total rubbish! Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes, that is what the video says....100". Obviously 100" is possible. They sold these things called Range Rovers and Discoveries with 4 doors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 At one stage I was going to build a 100 four door, the rear doors are pretty small, if you ignore the bike in the forground you can see where the tape was on the tub for the door cut out, and also the shape and size of the door marked out on the front door. This is marked out on a 88 tub, I have no idea what the wheelbase is. A 90 is probably getting too small to have a door that looks anything like a landy door. Maybe if you went pillar-less with a suicide rear like the Mazda RX-8 you might be able to get something to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Man Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Regards 4 door 90 Stumbled across this the other day Now I don't profess to know what it is but maybe some of you more ejookatid chaps could work it out So this looks to have the rear door cut down on the front end leaving the rear standard. I was thinking I would cut the wheel-arch into the door as per disco/RR. No there is not much space but I think I can work around that in part by moding the rear of the front seat box so feet can fit under the front seats as per disco. Anyway if I can gets some pics up I'll be away. TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD Man Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ok, so pic 1 is the donner body, and no its not LR OEM, its a 110 cab chassis that has been coach-built in NZ. Pic 2-3 is the proposed door cut, not sure if I need to go to the top line or not as yet. Pic 4 is just a reference shot. Pic 5 is the proposed wheel arch end point, meaning the front edge of the wheel arch. the nail is about it. Pic 6 is the donner chassis. Hope that sheds some light on things.

Meatslicer Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm doing something similar with a 110 van body, making a station wagon out of it but I'll be leaving the body panels covering where the second row doors would be, riveting them on to the c post outer so it will still look a bit van'ish from the outside. I will put rear doors on it at some time but they are a bit too expensive for the moment to get a good set. I did toy with the idea of getting some series front doors and cutting them down to fit the space but its a bit of a faff. (My Landy will eventually be a 5 door soft top with the rear load space doubling as sleeping quarters and storage.) Working out where to cut is gonna be a bit of a job, and I only have one go at it. Scary stuff! Good luck old son. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
