Land Rover Series 2 chassis swap in 16 hours

We asked ourselves; is it possible to swap the chassis of a Series 2 Land Rover in one day? We started at 9:00 am in the morning and finished at 01:00 am, 16 hours of work with two men at the job did the trick. The car is a 1958 model 88" Series 2 Land Rover. The location is outside our (too) small storage-building in Kristiansand, Norway. Enjoy!

Music:
Bonobo - Scuba [Amon Tobin Mix]
...and the sound of a 2,25 ltr Land Rover petrol engine, which some people may call music.

dette var stilig fredrik, også så mye oppmerksomhet filmen fikk:D hehe det er jo moro men mener fortsatt du skulle ha satt på benny hill sangen som musikk:P haha

Det ville nok vært fet, må vel lage en morro-versjon en dag ;)

[sallhame]

Nice work. You can relax now. Next chassis change in some forty years :-)

Yeah, the galvanized frames are very satisfying to have as a base of the car :)

Absolutely fantastic! I wish my Series III shorty had come apart (and gone back together!) that easily! Brilliant stuff. :-)

@SERIOUS4X4 It looked like a team of two from where i was standing , so all you need is one other person : )

[LukeKaboom]

Great work guys! akumabito2008 for shure.. the beasts just rust up in a matter of moments... turn your eye away from driving it or maintaing it for a second and the rust will set in :) love old landies want to get myself a SIII 109 station wagon so the SIIa doesnt feel lonely, but the thought of a '67 fastback mustang might just be too great!

[spymaine89]

great enjoy my 1969 88 in restoration now just restating after 30yrs

got new only used for  5yr.

[zapwatt]

DeWalt power tools! Love it!

[SERIOUS4X4]

damn guys that was absolutely amazing! all i need now is a team like yours to do mine!

[kellieur]

that's awesome, like that a lot

[kellieur]

that's awesome, like that a lot

[akumabito2008]

That's just fantastic! Last time I worked on a Landy I spent about just as long just removing all the rusted/broken bolts.. :D

Now looking at a Series IIa or III 88 soft-top for myself.. Hoping to do a chassis swap, 200tdi conversion and parabolic spring conversion all in one go. (will take much more than 16 hours I bet, lol!)

Good work guys!

[Pinguing1]
