no not at all, the chassis on mine looks in bad condition so i may just use it as a donor vehical
it may work out cheaper for me to buy another landy with bad body work and good chassis than to try and repair the chassis i have
88" chassis will be leaf springs
Ninety chassis will be coil springs.
No doubt, plenty of other little differences too, etc.
HTH
so you feel it would be VERY hard work to get an 88 body onto a 90 chssis, or would the body just not fit, i have searched the web but cant find the dimentions of a 90 chassis any where so i can compare it to the 88 dimentions i have from my manual.
haynes manual and the workshop manual both have chassis dims in
i'll leave to decide if it's going to be VERY hard work to do
ok cheers for you help, i will have to have a good think about what i want to do.

Right,an 88" has a wheelbase of 88"hence the name, wheelbase= centre of front wheel to centre of back wheel. A 90 has a wheelbase of 90" or I think it's about 92" to be precise.so some bits will fit, front wings,bulkhead doors etc but the rear tub won't even if you cut the bit of chassis of that's sticking out at the back because the rear wheels will be too far back to line up with the arches.If you want a 90 chassis under a series your gonna have to cut the chassis in the middle,cut the extra 3 or 4 inches out and then weld it back together,it will then be registered on a Q plate and not be tax exempt.
How bads the series chassis cos you can buy just about every section from an outrigger to half a chassis,have a look on this site

OK great now i have the answer i was looking for CHEERS, depending on how bad the chassis is on my 88 i may need to find another 88 with bad body but good chassis, once again CHEERS

I know this is an old thread but just out of interest if you bought a 109 tub and were pretty good at metal work couldnt you shorten that to fita 90? didnt Mark Evans shorten a 109 to mak a 100"?

There ought to be two 'introduce yourself' threads, one for the first time poster who needs info and ****s off as soon as he's got the answers he needs, and another for genuine members who aim to stick around and become part of the forum. :flame2::flame2:
