Good luck Exactly, to be fair it was a cheeky bid, I wasn't actually expecting to win haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 nice!!! should slam a td27t or 4jb1t in (can get bellhousing adaptors from the uk) or i have a really haggard RRC you can have for cheap for v8 my lwb series with a 173 in it will do 70mph reasonably easily. screams it's head off but big whoop really.

Shakotom Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 This things pretty lush. Must say it's got me pining over land rovers. I love the patina on this body and it's actually pretty damn straight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 And I reckon you'll still probably get this on the road before my Hilux is done. Was a sweet road trip mission. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igor Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I believe new galvanised chassis are available ex UK, probably stupidly expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f100_dreamin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @flyingbrick to be honest there is nothing wrong with a leaf sprung Land Rover chassis, with some metal and time this chassis is repairable, all the major sections can be bought from the UK cheap enough (then doubled for shipping haha) http://www.paddockspares.com/da2008n-front-chassis-repair-leg-lh.html http://www.paddockspares.com/da2008o-front-chassis-repair-leg-rh.html http://www.paddockspares.com/da2014-front-bulkhead-outrigger.html plus they do bulkhead sections. And I have family in the uk that I could have them sent to, who can on forward them to me if they wanted to charge ridiculous shipping. Yeah complete new chassis are available for around 2000pounds, I suspect shipping would make them uneconomical however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 must be around 3000squids for a 20ft container to nz. buy all your bits in one go and it would be ok (plus split the extra space with brit owning weirdos) https://www.shipit.co.uk/International_Removals_New_Zealand.htm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also sweet project, keen to see it come together! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hr31gts-x Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The landrover 2.25 motors are pretty good for what they are, you can also run the 2.25 diesel out of the discoverys as there same motor just converted to turbo diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 There's a farmer on the si west coast that had an 88 on a shortened rr chassis, v8, running gear and all. That thing went anywhere you pointed it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
