Other Options

I could keep it as astandard 2 door Range Rover. I could just patch it up (cheaper but would take a while) or rebuild it to concours condition (not cheap and would take a lot of time and effort).

After I have rebuilt the 2 door Range Rover, I could go on to modify it a bit (or a lot) so that it better meets my needs and performs even better off road.

I could cut part of the back off and produce a Bobtail Range Rover.

I could cut a bit more of the back off and produce a Range Rover pick up.

I could cut even more of the back off including the rear bit of the chassis and produce a Bobtail Range Rover pick up.

I have now photographed so many bobtail Range Rover pickups that I have created another page. It shows the Range Rover bob tail pick ups are a popular option for others with tired Range Rovers.

I could build an off roader with simple body work to keep the mud out. It could be an off road buggy with only one seat, or more of a trials motor with two seats. However these types of vehicle are only meant to be used off road and are not road legal.

I could take the Range Rover body off and replace it with another body. This is how you build a Hybrid. If I used a Land Rover body, I would either need to shorten the Range Rover chassis or shorten a long wheel base body so that the wheels and wheel arches line up. I could just make a Landrover inspired body from sheet metal and probably a space frame / complete roll cage. Click on the thumbnail to see various Range Rover Land Rover Hybrids.

This is a specially designed fibre glass body designed for fitting to a Range Rover chassis. It does not involve cutting the Range Rover chassis down as it uses the standard 100 inch wheelbase.

The MEV 4x4 has a purpose built tubular steel chassis and fibre glass body, but uses many of the components including all the drive train from a single donor vehicle, a Classic Range Rover.

I could remove most of the Range Rover body and add a new body and all the necessary equipment to make fire engine like this Carmichael Commando.

I could take off the old Range Rover body from the chassis, then go to the scrap yard and wait for a suitable body to be brought in with a wheelbase of about 100 inches. A Ford Capri can be the source of a suitable body.

This is about the best two door modified Range Rover I have seen. It was designed and built for the Ladoga Trophy Raid in Russia. There is no chance that I could build a vehicle as good as this as I don’t have the skills or experience, but it does include some very good ideas.

I think this vehicle is based on a Range Rover chassis and running gear, but it is a single seater and is reminiscent of a racing car from a different era.
