I already have a 93 RR Lawib that could be adapted by attaching the body mounts (yup more welding) for the 2A. I have also considered using a 110 chassis and bolting up all the RR stuff, which may be the easiest way to go.
I am trolling for opinions on this endeavor. Any help appreciated.
As I recall the LWB range rovers are 107" wheelbase? I have seen or heard of 88" body work being mounted on the D90 chassis which is actually a little longer the 90" so it takes some effort to get everything on. I suspect the D110 chassis could work well but would require some creative fitment. Also the wheels on the leaf chassis are not centered in the wheel well due to the travel path of the axles on the springs. The coils are a more linear vertical path of travel..so that may or may not be useful.
