it's not that easy (seen how long rebuilds take on here) and at the end it will need a q plate and have cost a fair bit for all the 110 parts.
off the top of my head, rear axle due to the 110 weight, rear prop, brakes might now be out of balance?, exhaust system, new brake lines, fuel tank, loom needs extending and the panels
doesn't make any sense to me, unless 110's became really rare and expensive.

Isn't back-chatting JM an offence? He knows his stuff, but let's be honest - changing a 90 to a 110 is daft, albeit possible!

The real downside is vosa hassle, Qplate and reduced comparative value.

Building a 110 from new parts ( alright, maybe not the engine ) is almost possible. How much would that cost? Seriously, it must have been worked out. I just can't be arsed to search for it after too many ciders watching rugby.

if you already have a 90 that needs a chassis not much more for a van back or truck cab,building a double cab will require finding certain extra parts

I know this. I was speaking hypothetically/drunkenly about how much would it cost to build a Defender from scratch with as many new parts as possible. Has anyone ever bothered to work it out?
It seemed like an interesting question last night. Maybe not so much now!

I would flog the 90 and buy a 110
would make more sense, as there would be no issues etc with DLVA
