Default LandRover chop-up

I had this body laying around the garage. Not a good thing for this body to be doing.....

Here it what it started out the night looking like:



Then it lost a mighty battle with the dremel:

This is only a rough cut as of now. Not sure if I will be chopping more out or not. I would have made a build thread, but not even sure if I will be using it. I just got bored and seen a perfect candidate for occupying my time.

Hmmm...to cut or not to cut? What do you guys think of possibly cutting the rear section off?



Horrible photoshop job, via paint program..

I think it looks cool with the back off It would be sweet if you could put a spare back there

Here you go
I did not cut the rack on top, cause I am considering tying it into the cage, but may end up just building a new one that is shorter. Who knows?







You can see where I took too much out of behind the door. I was planning on filling that part in with the rear section, but it didn't match up..... It will look fine when I start getting some tube back there.

Too cut or not to cut is the Question! Nice chop up . Going to subscribe to see where you are going with this one! Being bored in the RC world is not cool!

Looks great without the back. Something LR should consider. Those D110 pickups are tops, but this is paying a little homage to those great trucks. Perhaps a role cage back there would help.
