I would first like to say
that I have NEVER attempted anything like this before. What you read in this section is exactly
what I am doing, it may be wrong, it may be right. It is just intended to show how an amateur can build (I hope
so….) a road legal RR/Series Hybrid. I
have only basic tools and basic knowledge and I’m certainly no mechanic!! This is a write up of my procedures, cock
ups, disasters and hopefully a few success’s!
I hope you enjoy it.
CLICK ON EACH RELEVANT SECTION THAT INTERESESTS YOU:
Why I choose a
Hybrid when my Series 3 was running great.
Cutting and
Preparing the Rangerover Chassis
Measuring and
Welding the Chassis
Cutting and
re-welding the Chassis (BIG MISTAKE!!!!!)
Problems
with engine and gear box
Fitting Defender spats to a Series
tub
At this stage all the body work was removed as nearly all the welding
was done. The outriggers were properly
welded (as they were only tacked) and the chassis ready for paint.
and large pics of the monster nearly complete, well worth a look!
Seats, transmission tunnel and footwells
For you on the mailing list and new visitors, I would really appreciate
some feed back. Is it coming across
right? Would you like to see more detail? Does it even make sense?
I actually have over 200 pictures now, far too many for the web
site. They are better quality but too
big for my site! I am intending to put the whole lot with a full explanation
onto a CD if people are interested.
There is likely to be 750+ pictures!!
It was probably cost £5 (just to cover the costs etc) and I can either
post you a copy or pick one up at the LROi show, if people are interested that
is. Let me know what you think.
NEXT UPDATE WITHIN TWO WEEKS!
