Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004How much to build a 110 from scratch.
Watching the 4x4 is born tonight and it crossed my mind. Basic spec using axles, steering and running gear from a donor Whaaddaya reckon? Would of course be a "Q" plate but hey! ... thats a point.. do they still do "Q" plates? Lee D  Signaturewww.lrproject.com Workshop photos from Landrover repairs & other such tinkerings.

If you build it within a certain timescale and can prove the use of production parts etc etc, then it can qualify for a current year plate. Somebody a while back built a Lightweight out of parts, and registered it on a R plate (ie 1995 or whatever) Alex >>Watching the 4x4 is born tonight and it crossed my mind. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >plate.

I > can dig it out if youre interested! LOOK! I know I have more time on my hands but the last 3 month project I did took 2 years.... :-) Pay attention lads! ;-) ok ... go on then...but don't rush!

You dont need any of that spare time or money!... >Pay attention lads! >;-) > >ok ... go on then...but don't rush! We've been decorating the house and moving loads of stuff into the loft. So far, if the landy mags were all piled on top of each other the pile would be getting for shoulder height or so on me...

The Bearmach lot built a SIII from scratch using all new parts, came to about 26k or something silly. however, if you get bits from a donor, then that reduces the cost. I have to wonder why you don't just buy a 110 though...:-) Twas Fri, 01 Oct 2004 07:44:56 +0100 when Austin Shackles <austin@ddol-las.fsnet.co.uk> put finger to keyboard producing: >I have to wonder why you don't just buy a 110 though...:-) where's the fun in that?

I saw a very nice 110 "F" reg in Ardgay today with a brand new galvanized chassis and all the trimmings. If it wasn't a complete re-build, I'll eat my hat. I suspect the owner is William MacLoed of this list... Maybe he could be persuaded to give us a few details? Are you there, Willie?

Thank you Derry, yes indeed I rebuilt it, it's not mine though - I rebuilt it for my father. > Maybe he could be persuaded to give us a few details? Are you > there, Willie? Just in the door - I had to go down to see BT bods at Ipswitch the last couple of days and help them play with their toys. I'll get some pics, words and figures sorted next week and get them online somewhere.... Regards William MacLeod The question is why ? I think I would rather build a series from scratch, wouldn't matter if I made a traditional BL friday afternoon job of it would it.

Pretty much been there and done that.... I'm thinking something modern for creature comforts yet practical enough for my tinkerings. I love the look of the 88 and 90 but with two kids they just aren't practical. We had a near miss in Percy last week under hard braking for yet another fighter pilot on the estate. The result was my little girl smacking her head on the bulkhead.. Kind of put a differenlt light on side facing seats. At least a 110 would have forward facing seats... but after todays escapades I'm thinking of throwing in the towel with ageing Landrovers as attached to them as I am, I think I'm having a mid life crisis!

I'd still buy one and work on it though. Build-from-scratch is a huge amount of work. When I got my 110 CSW it was cheap 'cos of missing seats. with a bit of work, I fitted a whole set of sierra seats which are much better than the originals. |
