Building a 100 Hybrid

Mine was registered as a modified series 3 fitted with coil springs and a V8. (The rangie chassis was restamped

) In QLD this was a lot easier than registering it as a range rover with an older body fitted.

If you use a Series firewall and and panels and an old rangie donor, its not expensive, but very time consuming. Albeit highly enjoyable. After you build one, you will want to build another without the mistakes of the first.........

V8 Discos are getting so cheap these days, theyre almost worth using as a donor - stronger axles and injection, and the body parts are worth more to sell than old rangie panels.

The DVD is a must, but it can be done a lot cheaper than this using series parts and without the bling.

can I have the rear roof and side panels removed?

I think it would buzz along the beach quite nicely

I would base it on an early rangie chassis, the earlier the better as the year will determine what ADR's you have to comply with.

I have got a 73 Rangie (mostly complete) and the Series 1, year unknown at this point. Maybe I will just wedge the Rover V8 into the Series, using the original gearbox (rebuilt, or so I am told).

Will a Series 1 gearbox cope with a 3.5?
