Give me a cross eyed model any day. There are a few companies in the
UK that will take on a rebuild if you ask them.
Have a look <http://www.web-rover.co.uk/page.php3?p=links>;
HERE under suppliers.

I believe Rover's North here in America will do a complete rebuild
to<br>
expedition spec but an uninformed guess is that you'd be paying close
to<br>
Defender prices by the time you are done.<br>

There are a number of companies based in the UK who refurbish S2 and
S3<br>
landrovers but as far as I am aware they are rebuilt to more or less<br>
original spec although I guess a purchaser could specify their own<br>
overall build spec. I do know that some companies rebuild with
2.5<br>
litre engines as standard.<br><br>

Just thinking out loud, but is anyone remanufacturing complete
Series<br>
IIA/III's? I was thinking expedition-ready, with new frames,<br>
alternators,<br>
wiring and lights, faster axles, disc brakes, etc. but still<br>
field-maintainable (no electronics in mission-critical
functions).<br><br>
I was thinking something that could be purchased by companies and<br>
institutions that wouldn't look twice at a used or 'restored'
Landy.<br><br>
