value of this:

it is - but that couple of grand will be a better investment becuase from what i can see a CSW holds its value alot better than a hardtop.

i guess im a bit stubborn, but i do prefer a CSW, and from the usage point of view i do think it would be more worthwhile. just means i will have to fork out a little more

Is it difficult to change the bodies on a defender yourself?

From van to CSW yes because you have to weld on additional outriggers.

Yes. It needs new outriggers, Centre floor section, door pillars etc. The complete station wagon bodies come up occasionaly on ebay. I looked at changing my 300tdi hardtop into a csw but decided it wasn't really viable.

I had a v8 csw and sold that to get my 300tdi. (I couldn't afford the csw so got a van). I regretted not getting a csw the whole time i had the van. Now I have another csw it is much more practical but I do miss the extra load space.

so not like changing to a p/u then. Dont sound like thatll be cheaper or quicker
