Land Rover Series 3 conversion underway

[HR66]

Been messing around with the Revell Land Rover and a couple of pieces from an Italeri kit. Lots of flash that has to dealt with and the stance is a little too high. I have had to cut down part oenf the engine to allow the deluxe bonnet to sit flat. Thinking about thinning the engine mounts a little for more clearance. Will be converting the body to a 2 door and hopefully will have an interchangeable hard and soft top option. Still in mock up mode.

So where did you get the soft top? I’m also working on a few of these. I would love to put a soft top on one of them. 
I love what you are doing. I have been looking for the Italeri kit, I had not thought about how the hood effects the engine.

I was fortunate to have bought a second hand Italeri paratrooper landy that had an extra body and the canvas top. Recently located a full version of the soft top that was released by ESCI. Hopefully someone with better casting skills could possiibly replicate this part.

Cool project. Looking forward to watching this one. The soft top is a neat piece.

I like seeing these Lannies, our eldest son had a lightweight short wheelbase ex Army he used as his daily driver and trials vehicle at weekends. I'd like to see a short wheelbase kit or even modify a long one.

Really neat project and score of that kit..

Nice work so far, it's looking good.

Land Rovers are one of those vehicles where you could build almost endless variations - if it wasn't available from the factory chances are someone has built/converted one afterwards.

Very interesting to see another variation planned with a good start. I'm just eyeing mine up for cuts and mods to make it an 88" wb series ll with a slightly different drivetrain...

Welcome to the forum John. This looks like a very interesting build. I love anything that is 4wd!
