hybrid build ideas?

there are a lot of people out there with the skills, its the time that's normally the problem.

The passion is the reason, and possible resale value.

There is no resale value in a 100" hybrid Landrover.
Ask me how I know.

hahaha

just saw your tag, yeah ok but atleast i can dream =P

Hmm willing to fork out at least 13k. ;) Well only because you are a fellow forum member and possibly a good bloke I`ll consider letting you have my ute for a bit less than 13k. :) All the work done, all engineered, series body on a range rover chassis. Of course letting you having my ute for less than 13k might well be less than what it is worth :angel: but I`m that kind of guy that likes to help a fellow land rover enthusiast :)
Any way seriously now if you want any info let me know. The engineering will cost around $1500. Sons mate is going through the engineering process at the moment with a four wheel drive. Get on board with the engineer right from the start. Best bet if you want diesel is a range rover chassis and a 4bd1 diesel. My ute is a shortened series 3 110" with a 4 link rear and a three link front and the motor is a 4bb1.

Now I know of three 100" hybrids that are "on the market".

What about a d1 dual cab Ute on a stretched 110 chassis (to 130 inches). Start with an 80s 110 and use a 4bd1t.

Comfort and practicality..

You want to dream. Dream up one of these. A Moke on Steroids.

That has been done before.
But only once.

Been done with a Sierra too..................https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/03/373.jpg

There used to be a Cadillac you'd see on Fraser sometimes back in the day - no idea what i was built on.

There was a builders in Brissie had a 80s Rolls Royce Body on (I think) a Rangie chassis.

I should probably point out that my background is in fabrication, right now im not doing that but the old man still has the shop, were already rebuild a moke from scratch (hence my want for a LR due to the easy panel shapes)

im thinking of a standard chassis, cutting it all the about 88 inches or so, building the cages straight on top of it, tube front fenders etc

Why not use all that skill for good instead of evil (?? :) )

you could make some 80" front fenders and guards, the earlier single piece ones... and to make sure you feel better I think I could find somewhere to "test fit" them for the next 40 or so years..... :angel:


why not build something like a boat tailed sports car (reminicent of 20-30s) and go from there.... like the land rover sports car theyve already done (the one with the huge motor!) But ever so capable!
