td5 110 covert or not?

[Ackworth Arborists]

The body type is a 110 hard top

Ah, as in a van?

 

They can be done but as I said earlier the Hi Cap is the easiest. You will need to find a truck cab rear bulkhead(some dont bother and chop the internal one but is a bit rough finish), rear cab panel(or window section) and the single truck cab roof and if you're fussy, the soft panels to fit inside these.

 

Many of the conversion guys will fit the parts for you, but I'd say you may need to go to a more specialised landy conversion company if you want them to source the body panels for you.

Equicar had a big pile of rear bulkheads a month or so back

Mmmm, were they the ones on the 'Bay?

 

The ones I saw were new take offs and seem to recall about £200. Bargain at that I'd say.

 

For Ackworths info, this is the only panel needed that will rot, so going for a new one would be wise. The higher section and roof are usually very solid regardless of age, but there's plenty of bent roofs out there!

Thats where i would look too ! they have alsorts does make you think what there upto lol ! im guessing lots of export soft top chassis cabs and custom build s

thinking of building a 130 tipper for work, 110 tipper to me seems a bit small as want tool chest behind cab for tools. 4x4 tipper would be so useful for us now for lots of jobs. Having a vehicle with winch and offroad tyres on full time is also needed and don't want to do that to my 110.

Can't afford to buy one really and want to build one myself as will have it how i want it and know its done properly. Love land rovers as easy to build your own. Will prob all be full galvansied new parts and have a spare 300tdi engine too. Just need a workshop first... lol

In what way do you mean small?

 

I have a large tool box built in to my 110 and can still overload it easily.

just been going on the look of ones i have seen really. whats the dimensions of the tipper box? Do you have some pics? I love seeing peoples set ups. Can you overload it with firewood? I am looking at the option of being able to carry maximum load for the axle/tryes off the public highway. 2 tonne?
