I was able to purchase this chassis at a very good price and thought that it might be a good compromise.
I take your point UncleHo and Firey. I have over the last couple of days had second thoughts about using the series 3 chassis. I spent the weekend looking, measuring and costing the mods needed to bring it up to series 2 spec. A lot of work!
I do agree with your comments on originallity etc. This has been playing on my mind as it has always been my intention to retain a much of the original LRPV as is possible.
