Default Series 3 to Defender!

This might sound silly But can I change my Series 3 Bonnet and front grill to make it look like a defender??? Does any one know if it would fit?

Never tried it, but the Stage One was basically a 109 with a V8 and Defender wings, bonnet and breakfast.
You'd probably have to convert to an electric fan since the radiator will be too far from the engine.

Thank you Tom, I appreciate it. Part of me wants to keep it classic and part of me wants to upgrade it!

The stock series front is perfect for a Warn 8274 winch. Fits perfect behind the bumper so you get the best pull without messing up your approach angle.

Doug Shipman (Ship's Mechanical Services, Portland OR) more-or-less did this when he made "Blue". It's a Rangie, completely rebodied with Series IIA parts. Looks pretty much like a Series truck, completely modern below the skin. VERY cool.

How do you figure? It's the opposite of what the OP was asking.

Does anyone know where I can get a roll cage for outside of my series?
