Thread: Converting a 130

The job is pretty simple. Takes about half an hour and costs around $50. I can't see what you're faffing about for.

It should be a pretty straight forward job as I suspect the chassis will have all the body mounts to suit both single or dual cabs. There would be no modifications needed, just bolt off bolt on. I think the most difficult part would be sourcing the dual cab body at a reasonable price, although it would be quite possible to find one at a wreckers. Obviously you would only need to purchase from the firewall back and you can re-use your front doors to keep the cost down.
I suspect the white one would have firewall damage, but you could even re-use your firewall and windscreen.
They are out there. These two are at TRS.




Cheers

The white one is in pretty good nic inside. I was tempted to get the rear windows and front doors off that one.

Oh, not this bloke again.
Apparently also if you completely rebuild a series 2A it can be done in a few weekends, and if you use your mate's shed, you can serete the whole lot away into nooks and crannies and no-one can even find it.

If your in QLD a mob closer to you is british offroad, Ive heard they are pretty good and seem to have what your looking for as well. Look at their june and feb 2010 wrecks. British Off Road - The Land Rover spare parts specialists - Now Wrecking

You may be able to fit the seats from a puma and the roof from an earlier 130. It may also help that your single cab panels are in good nick as they may partially offset the cost of the dual cab roof , rear interior and back doors. If your doing the build yourself you could also look at customising the cab with a bit more space or fitting fuel/water tanks or an area for a fridge.

Where the heck is tallegalla weir ?
I have a 130 roof lining but it's not exactly postable or readily packable.
