Defender 110 CSW to Utility Conversion

Hi Everyone

I am thinking about converting a 110 CSW to a utility style back and wondered if this can be done with standard panels or if special cutting etc is required. If anyone has any advice links or companies that can do this conversion then I would be very grateful to hear from anyone.

This is the kind of thing I am looking to create:

defender utility - Google Search

well whilst ya in googling mode try googling "converting csw to utility"

Snigger

You'll just simply need to find sombodu who wants to "go the other way" who has a 110 with van sides. I am sure that will be fairly easy.

if its a CSW to UW, are the rear side panels not the same size as the 90??

No. But if I remember correctly the panels from an 88 fit.

Thanks guys did a bit more Googling as suggested and the general consensus seems to be that 88 side panels fit and those from a 90 do not.

Will continue research while trying to find a good donor 110 CSW for the project.

Hi, hows the conversion going? Am thinking of doing this myself at some point, just a few questions I have about it, do you have to inform the dvla that you are converting it from what is a CSW to a utility vehicle for tax & insurance purposes?

Seem to remember there are issues with LEZ and utility is LGV, don't know if all CSW's are? I might be talking a load of sh#t...
