Its a x-trail chassis and all I had to do is cut down the plastic ball ends down to get the wheel base. Its 11.5" wheel base

nice LR3 but looks like body is sitting too high on chassis. probably a result of the interior.

edit: body needs little detailing too.

I have some decals on it that I added after the pics, I had to hack some of the floor board out to keep the interior, im hitting the bottom of the interior on the chassis so I agree it sits high, I dont want to hack anymore cause ill lose the seats and the center console. Ill have somemore pics up soon, Thanks for all the comments

oh yeah I have 100mm shocks that raised my height up too, I should have gone with 90s or maybe 80mm... but hey its a suspension lift ;) lol

I'm thinking more that you need to paint the grill and side fender vents. See the black inside the bumper and grill here:

Nice looking Rover. Any body off shots? Is the tranny in the stock location? or do you have a transfer case in there?

you could get a second axial transmission and use it as a transfer case, then move the trans and motor to under the hood area. that will allow you to lower the body some and still keep the interior.

I've done something similar on my builds:
here's my Jtop Pajero

Im on a limited buget for now, Im going to get some shorter shocks, Ill look into the second transmission, when I get some more money. I like that Idea, Thank you for the help I cant lower the body anymore cause it hits the chassis and if I cut out any more ill lose my seats. I went out and drove it yesterday and even sitting so high it still handled very well, but needs to be lower. Thank you again for all the help
