G'day Guys,

Well I am building a D100 - Range Rover chassis and a Defender body and I am looking for a contact to shorten the rear tub.

I am lucky enough to have a Defender 110 2 door hardtop rear tub and wish to shorten by 10" - move the bulkhead back 10" and shorten the front end.

I have done this now on a Series 3 tub as a practice

- but as can understand the D110 is a rarer beast, and so want someone to do it professionally - OR even better someone to make up some new sides in ali with the same profile but 10" shorter.

Any ideas?

LRH.

G day
Try Classic Fabrications Fairy Meadow (just north of Wollongong), Phone (02) 4284 2896. Ask for Jason.
They specialise in classic car restorations, scratch building car panels etc etc, have seen a lot of their work, which is exceptional!
Re your 100, I purchased a D 90 from Victoria. This vehicle had full Vic Roads Rego. It was originally a 130, shortened to a 90, engineered etc etc. I submitted for registration in NSW and the RTA said NO WAY!!!!!
If you would like to discuss the pitfalls I encountered I can be contacted on (02) 4272 3800 (buss hours)
