I think that the wheelbase is the same on all the Freelander variants, 5 door and 3 door.

I think there's also some good video of the Adrian's FreeRanger on the BORC site too!

One of the mags (was it LRM?) did a feature on it a while back if you want to do some research.

just a thought, you know what its like when your sat in traffic :D
saw a freelander next to a disco , and got the thought process going.
body off the disco chasis - dry fit..make mountings etc. and Voils!
should also make a freelander look TOUGH! :twisted:

Quote from: "bezzabsa"

102" then

2 557 millimeters = 100.669291 inches, according to Google!

What's one and a half inches between friends?

-cough-

I always thought it was (roughly) 100" too.

Depends on the amount of weight you put on em really, as this can affect how the motor "sits" on the wheels in final trim compared to bare chassis


Cracking idea though  :twisted:
