I've seen a few '70s era Series on eBAY and one of LRX with the defender 110 grill and complete front end. Is there any company that does this specifcally or are all these people just doing it on their own? How difficult is it?

Thanks,
MATT

Very easy to do. Can be done on your own.

To do it half-assed, you can just add the grill out front and swap hoods (or rather, the bonnet :)).

To do it right, you should swap the wings (i.e. the fenders), the breakfast (what the grill is mounted to, i.e. the radiator support panel), and the bonnet.

Are right hand drive trucks legal to drive in the states? Also, do you know of anywhere I could purchase those parts, used?

Yes on the legality of the right hand drive.

As for parts, call Rovers North. They have quite few used parts in stock at any given time.

Yes, RHD is completely legal.

Rovers North is usually overpriced on used parts. Try The Thatched Roof Garage for great prices.


FWIW....

Ron, do you have another spare tire holder for the rear door?
