Defender Bobtail

Hi, I have been trying to find some build photos of a defender 110 bobtail. but I have had no luck. does anyone have any photos of the chassis mods

Thanks
Harry

If yer bobtail a 110 is it not just a 90?

Depends on how many inches you cut off I suppose

What you want to chop off?
If the rear where you moving the tank to?
Chop in the middle & shrink the body work.

Both are big jobs

I am looking to move the rear cross member back to and put a 90 fuel tank under the seat

Easy to convert the back body that way. (Pop rivits & buzz saw)
You will have to make changes to the 110 seat base for the tank

Why would you want to do this change?

I like the look of it, it’s having a cummins 4bt in it. The body is the easy part. The only concern is the chassis modification. Maybe I can use a d90 rear cross member

Think you need to make the chassis straight(loose the swan neck)
There was a good cross member for sale by @Turboman
Think this would be better as you could make the straights.

I think what youre after is a Tornado based of a Disco Chassis.

No, what he really wants is an IBEX.



Cheers

I like both of those, particularly the Tornado.
I've seen a few pics on google of bobtailed 110's but no build details. There are a couple of build details on stretching a 90 to 100", devon4x4.com may be able to give you some advice from what I've read. It would be worth checking you don't need an IVA first though.

Never heard of the tornado, looks like it the way I should go. Yes I will need to check IVA. Thanks for the help

From Tornado Motorsport. Basically a Disco chassis with a spaceframe Defender shape shell and fibreglass body pannels.

Can be built.for as little.as £3.5k or as much as you can afford.
