There is your answer lambo doors on a land rover are not practical and this forum tends to be on practical things

Why not then? A TV in the back is a lot more practical than lambo doors anyway
Well... Maybe not a 90 but a 130 possibly lol.

The TV would have to be waterproof, otherwise it would get wet when splashing around in jacuzzi that should be fitted. LOL

I've seen scissor doors on a purple P38 RR and it looked totally gay so I imagine it will look even worse on a Defender! How about a one-piece flip front on gas struts instead? Could make the rear tub tip too and detail the engine & chassis.

As he's 17 shouldn't that be go straight to bed without any tea?

It would be interesting to see how you'd go about fitting them and hiding the hinges, as on a 'normal' car the door hinges are behind the door skin and wing but on a tratter they're on the outside.

Can't you do the usual 17 year old thing of putting a massive jack hammer sub woofer in and that Snoop Dog bouncy suspension malarky





Only pulling yer leg, now go and do your homework cos your mom will have cooked your tea soon

Well i for one would like to see the restored morris - point out what you did by yourself, what you had help with & we'll all be able to admire your work & judge what would be a good level to aim for...

Oh and to another fun question a.... Have you thought about finding an insurer that'll even entertain the concept of a defender with scissor doors... Let alone for a 17 yr old!

That would be nice project. The front clam has been done but not very common yet.

I dont have any photos of the moggy at the moment and I am at boarding school so no way of getting any for a while. All the work was done by me and my brother who is 15

Right I have had my say with your project, you know what I think that it is a none starter for you, not that it cant be done.
Are you still serious about finding engineering solutions to fitting Lambo doors to a Defender?
I can give you some assistance but you will have to do a lot of work the good new is you will not have to purchase a Defender to get the project started and find the viability.

thanks. I think for now I will stick with standard doors, then in the future I can always swap them out if I feel the need

Probably a good plan ;-)
