I am in the middle of building a hybrid of a Series 3 109 and a 110 defender. I intend to keep the look of the series 3 but have the comfort of the defender. Can anyone tell me if I will need an engineers report or do I simply renew the MOT for the series 3 to be road legal?
 
If you're effectively building a series body onto a defender chassis and not changing anything structural then I don't think you need anything other than a MOT test pass - I'm quite prepared to be wrong when an adult turns up to correct me on that.

If you're seriously modifying a series chassis then you'll probably need to SVA it.
 
so wot yer actually gonna do? stick a series front onto a defender?

int probs in doing that except you'll ruin a good series by sticking them horrible folking coil spadoonings under it
 
Yes I think same, I was hoping not to have to do anything structual to the chassis, I have only stripped the 109 to a rolling chassis at this stage, and it looks very sad indeed, however if the 110 chassis is not solid enough I may just have to go for a new galvanized one and do a propper refurb.
 
I know what you mean about ruining a good series, but I am trying to please her indoors 'cos if I can't make something out of whats in the garage I'll have to scrap the lot and spend evenings in making conversation!!
