The "built in my head" thread...

Don't know if this will fly or not, but here goes.

When Mystery Machine posted up having acquired THAT land rover, it lead me back to the thoughts I'd been having about one of a field full of land rovers near me.

Basically I've had two schools of thought, one of which I'll share here.

The land rovers in question are all Series 3 as far as I can tell, with one 88" pickup and possibly a brace of 109s.

Copying the idea of low-pros on truck rims from this:


Leaves the idea of something like this, the only question being what sort of chassis to attach it all to, I mean ideally I'd want free tax, but what else?




That's what has been floating around, very unlikely it'll ever make it further than the bit of fluff I call my mind, but there it is.

What ideas have you guys had that haven't made it past the idle daydreaming phase?
