Hi just brought my first series 3 landrover which will also be my first ever project. I just wondered what you can do to this model its a lwb station wagen. Can you change body styles etc, suspension changes etc. Just need some ideas if anyone can help.
cheers rich
 
Station Wagon is the best looking body in my opinion but it's your Landy, so do what you want with it. It's easy enough to change it into whatever style you want. Just have fun and as previously said: ENJOY!
 
series landys are in my opinion big kids meccano noting cant be done they really are the grand daddy of interchangeable adaptable items

once you start you wont stop be warned :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
well it should be here tomorrow cant wait. What are the areas of concern on these? Also what bits are ali and which are steel? Should be a great project. I have been told a defender front fits these as do the plastic archs.
I i sound like dumb ass its because its my first, so sorry for any silly questions

If you wanna look like a **** then yes they do;)
 
Is it hard to convert to power steering at all and at what cost/ I like the looks of the series 3 as standard was just gauging what you can do with them. I like the military looking ones best but they were fetching more money, but that is the look i would like to go for if possible
 
it can be done but it sounds like a 'fender may have been what you wanted?

the beauty of a series is there basic nature, no electrics, no hydraulics, no aircon, no climate control, no alarms etc.

That front step is also great for kneeling on when doing tappets etc
