the fenders are indeed widened, on this pics the original wheels are on with spacers, after that i ordered other rims in black, so i cuold get rid of the spacers nice, only difference between 110 and 130 is rear structure, so that isnt that hard i suppose. seeing the post of the doors on a 90 being to short i think i am gonna lengthen the doors to try it;-)

I did, build a 5 door 130 recently, trying to upload pics from my cellphone

Awesome:-) rebuild my version , curved on top and added 2 lights:-) Thx, i go on search for the programs:-)

Nice build, those renders, what program is used and can i also use it?

Maybe these help:-)

It is indeed just to speed up the engine, and both pairs need to be replaced:-) Hey, nice work you did there:-) i tried to rebiuld the steering to the steering wheel, and it worked, but then came the moment that i ambraced the v8 instead of v6. Its just the same as the v6, but without the engine mount bracket things. Steering wheel adaptation to inner vehicle is not possible anymore now. But why ? You cant use the wheel, so in my honest opinion not a must:-) I see some of you ask me to provide instructions of my mods? If you want more pictures to build it please ask, and i will make photos. Not planning to make ' instructions' because i wouldnt know how:-(

Did some work on the defender:-) first, replaced the v6 with a v8, without modifications to the frame. Then got rid of the annoying and wrong gearbox, with its enormous friction. Rebuild the rear shock mounts so the floor could be lowered. Rear seat also made higher and longer, to match scale. It now has a 2 speed gear box through the shifters on the center console.

Hey all! I made 2 small mods today, lockable doors and a bar to keep the bonnet open:-)

This is how it looks now, as you see there is surely an option for the steering wheel. This was the easy way?

No, not much modification needed. The gearing towards the steering wheel is deleted, possible to modify it , but for now its temporally gone. For the rest it almost just slides in:-) I will make a rework for the inner steering wheel, maybe tomorrow.

So i kept myself busy for another evening, and decided to lenghten the defender to a 110 wheelbase, thus keeping the 3 door design. A 110 3 door version is probably not gonna come out irl, but the lack of possibillities partswise is olive green let me keep it 3 door for now. As you may see i filled up with black for the same reason, the slope tiles will asap be ordered when available. My thoughts? Its more correct proportionwise.

Thx buds! Tonight i will try other mods:-)

God may know:-)

Not gonna argue further, i work at jlr, they will be v6 petrol, 4l petrol or 4l diesel:-)

Off course it will be available with v6, the petrol 300 and hybrid 400hp engines. Saw one irl, there is no place for a 6inline:-)

Thx, it fits without major rebuilding, a v8 would require more rebuilding, like the disposal of the winch for example.

I solved the issue by changing the 8/24 gearing to the diffs into 16/16 , works a lot better now

Hey all! I started modding the defender yesterday, changed a few bits already. First i replaced the back seat to a more correct position Then throwed out the 6inline, gave it a oldschool v6 Gave it a widebody Put a bullbar on it, still in construction Then remoddeled the roofrack and added rooflights. Putting pictures is a thing i still need to find out, my pics are quite a bit larger. Keep yours updated!

changed the url;-)

lots of the big sets are indeed at least double, and that means that i try tto keep one partly original, but still modded, and others seriously modified;-) in case of the 42029 about only the front doors and hood are original;-) i build a new chassis and totally modded the rest ;-)

Double wheels and widened cabin;-) https://flic.kr/s/aHskt9ddvM Total mod into pickup;-)

thanks all! i have waited a whole time to show these, dont ask me why;-) some of the mods are based on things i find on the net, others, like the 42029 pickup are self made;-) whatever i do, i try to give it a personal touch ietherway,-)
