is this going to be street legal or are you just going to hack it up into a trail rig? remove the fenders, doors, rear glass, open her up.

maybe half doors.

I apologize Tweakrover but I couldn't resist.I was googling and that picture come up so I was hoping to share the laugh.Life is serious enough .As for your question I will make a sketch and show what I plan.Basically windshield stay,front doors stay,B pillar stay,everything behind B pillar will go including back doors and rear door.Instead I will build cargo box something like Defender.Front obviously doesn't work with these tires so instead of cutting it I will replace it.You know how Light Weight Land Rover front end look like , this is my plan.And yes everything is going to be street legal including these tires.They are highway and street legal in US an Canada .Stay tuned.

this thread is out of control

I fotochop picture of Lightweight and this is what best represent what I intend to build.Basicaly this is my plan.

During the demolition I tested my new inner fender.As you can see there is going to be a lot of room around the wheel.And I found more rust , no surprise.
