|  Goodwill shopping
Stopped by the local goodwill store the other night and found a used New Bright Land Rover LR3 for $2.00 , now i have a new body for way cheaper than i was planning. Did have to make some shorter rear links but using some traxxas 78mm turnbuckles it worked out just right.      |

[QUOTE=jmercier;4063551]I used a few pieces of styrene mounted on the top of my rear shock towers, and on the inside of the original body mounts in the land rover with velcro and a velcro strip on the fron electronics plate. I had to trim the body mounts up front on the land rover to get it to sit low and level. Good work. |
