Anyone here built or considered doing a 100inch defender on a Disco 1 chassis?
Disco 1s are easily got now for £500 mot failures on body rust - lots of that! Defenders on the other hand are way over priced, even rough ones.
I have the 4x4 is born DVD by Mark Williams and I like the look of the 100inch.
All the body parts for defender should be easily obtained. The hardest part I see of the build would be getting the front bulkhead outriggers and rear crossmember in the correct place. Not sure if it would need an IVA test after as it would retain the axles, engine and gearbox of the donor disco.
any input, good or bad is welcome
