Watching the 4x4 is born tonight and it crossed my mind.

Basic spec using axles, steering and running gear from a donor

Whaaddaya reckon?

Would of course be a "Q" plate but hey! ... thats a point.. do they still do
"Q" plates?

If you build it within a certain timescale and can prove the use of
production parts etc etc, then it can qualify for a current year
plate. Somebody a while back built a Lightweight out of parts, and
registered it on a R plate (ie 1995 or whatever)

LOOK! I know I have more time on my hands but the last 3 month project I did
took 2 years....

Pay attention lads!

Dunno, there's still U and Z available if they run out of Q's though ...
although how any of them fit in with the new reg's.......hmmm.

Youve only got a couple of projects on the go at the moment, its only
natural to be looking for another one . You dont need any of that
spare time or money!...

We've been decorating the house and moving loads of stuff into the
loft. So far, if the landy mags were all piled on top of each other
the pile would be getting for shoulder height or so on me... (theyre
not in the loft above my bedroom!)

The Bearmach lot built a SIII from scratch using all new parts, came to
about 26k or something silly.

however, if you get bits from a donor, then that reduces the cost.

I have to wonder why you don't just buy a 110 though...

I saw a very nice 110 "F" reg in Ardgay today with a brand new
galvanized chassis and all the trimmings. If it wasn't a
complete re-build, I'll eat my hat. I suspect the owner is
William MacLoed of this list...

Maybe he could be persuaded to give us a few details? Are you
there, Willie?

Thank you Derry, yes indeed I rebuilt it, it's not mine though - I rebuilt
it for my father.

Just in the door - I had to go down to see BT bods at Ipswitch the last
couple of days and help them play with their toys.

I'll get some pics, words and figures sorted next week and get them online
somewhere....

The question is why ?

I think I would rather build a series from scratch, wouldn't matter if I
made a traditional BL friday afternoon job of it would it.

Pretty much been there and done that....

I'm thinking something modern for creature comforts yet practical enough for
my tinkerings.

I love the look of the 88 and 90 but with two kids they just aren't
practical. We had a near miss in Percy last week under hard braking for yet
another fighter pilot on the estate. The result was my little girl smacking
her head on the bulkhead.. Kind of put a differenlt light on side facing
seats.

At least a 110 would have forward facing seats... but after todays escapades
I'm thinking of throwing in the towel with ageing Landrovers as attached to
them as I am, I think I'm having a mid life crisis!

I'd still buy one and work on it though. Build-from-scratch is a huge
amount of work. When I got my 110 CSW it was cheap 'cos of missing seats.
with a bit of work, I fitted a whole set of sierra seats which are much
better than the originals.
