3/4 scale Land rover

[DAVEVO9]

My best mate built this, it's fully working and is powered buy a 3 cyl Kubota engine.. a few yrs back Land Rover liked it so much they offered him a brand new Discovery and a fair bit of cash too!

It's only 2wd but he has plans for a 4wd version. I was doing some pics for him so I thought I would post it up for something different to see..

Me too, I think it is fantastic but I can't help wondering 'what for?'

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Wow that's fantastic and a quality bit of workmanship.

Stupid question but is it /can it be made road legal?

that is ace, it looks so small compared to the discovery as well.

Absolutly stunning! i can relate to the amount of work that must have gone into that!

I have a friend who is currently building a 1/2 size rover V8 to put in a 1/2 size s3 by measuring a full size one, hes cast his own block and everything.

I want to do one....
