Hi all

I recently asked what an old series i found would be worth also i once asked how difficult it would be to put my '67 series on a coil chassis but at the time didn't realise i would loose my tax exemption.

Now i have the chance of a '76 series and a 90 chassis so my question is how difficult to put the series body on a 90 chassis and has anyone done it?

Why I hear you say?

Not many things have character in the ever evolving world and we seem to forget basic solutions (the 2CV) and since being very young i have always admired the rustic charm of the series but at the same time have driven coils so i think a mixture would put 'that smile' on my face and as i have a double garage giong up late spring i will be needing an excuse to be in it til the small hours.

All help welcome (engine & transmission) and thanks for your time

If you happen to have a coil sprung series i may be interested

Regards

You have one first problem.  A 90's wheel base is actually four (approx) inches longer than a 88-inch.  This means the 88 body won't be a proper fit.

There are plenty of other issues too, but I will leave the experts up to giving that info.

ive got a 100inch rangie chassis with a shortend 109 series body on it

the front and rear end off the chassis have been altered to accept the body and reduce as much approch departure angle as possible.

you could use a 109 series instead of an 88 and then cut the tub down the same to suit.

Could you not fit a 90 tub and use series bodywork from there forward rather than cut a 109" down?  I'm guessing you would need the wheel arch spats anyway if you are using later axles.........
