FFR Lightweight Landrover

[Bruce]

The rebuild is going well with our lightweight landrover, and we've got all the radio kit working now, and recently we managed to purchase the 5m telescopic mast for the aerials. Looking forward to it being ready for the coming events.

so just to wet your appetite, this is what it currently looks like with a new galvanised chassis; 200TDI engine; power steering unit and running gear from a crashed discovery and a gear box from the a 90 landrover.

Disc brakes all round, coil springs power steering, diff lock!

Our Lightweight is being stripped this week to be rebuilt onto this so it will look original but drive like the discovery

Cant wait to see her completed!

200tdi is a good choice, are you building it yourself?

Paying a man who knows what he is doing.

You know what they say..."If a jobs worth doing, pay someone to do it!"

This is a very exciting project!  Once it's done, you'll have myself, Matt B, and Mat P all green with envy at you having such a superb vehicle!  (Don't let my Landy see this or it might get in a hissy fit again and blow it's ignition switch!) 

You do realise that LRO magazine will probably give you a full 4 page article after this....  see if you can sell your story for a mint!!

Agreed - that's starting to look like a very tasty landy. I'm also jealous, but I don't think something setup with all the FFR gear would work as a daily driver very well, so it might be dsafe left near me.

Of course - if anyone does want to swap a Mk1 Mondeo for something short wheelbase (sIII / 90), PM away, I'm interested...

Hope it looks as good my FFR Lightweight
