Hello everyone,
Is there a place here for modified ex army Land Rovers?
I've modified my 1978 SIII 109 GS to a point where it's hardly recognisable as an old army truck, but it does still have all the tags and such.
While the purists may shudder at the thought, I'm left to ponder if others may yet find some interest in what I've done as they too may have crossed over and modified their ex army Series vehicles away from specification.
Holden engine conversions seem to be popular, as are Nissan gearbox conversions, and some have opted to go for high speed transfer boxes and/or high speed diffs. I've personally seen many ex army Land Rovers which have been treated to one or more of these modifications.
Perhaps I'll be burned at the stake for it, but I've gone the whole shebang and now run a worked Holden 202, Nissan 5 speed overdive, high speed transfer box and high speed diffs.
This is a very good combination and would surprise/shock some people I think.
