I agree,but if you're gonna do it, do it properly.
There's way too much body roll

If it goes at the speeds implied by the rear tyres then you "really" don't want a fold down windscreen.

Cool. Could use a full roll-cage though.

I have to say WHY!!??!
I bet it's really fast with a big rover V8.... oh no, on second thoughts that's a standard LR engine... v
I hate to say it, but I reckon it's just lowered and made RWD, IMHO a LR ladder chassis is goin to need some serious BHP and chassis work to be
'quick'.
Just googled it and yes it has a 3.9 V8 and disco axle....
However also found one done 'properly'....

I reckon a mid mounted small block to a Jag rear axle, sorted suspension and a roll cage, and it would be a good laugh.
I like it, but the guy in the top picture is probably very close to killing himself if it hops and the corner digs into the tarmac!
The proper drag one looks better, but im not sure id have picked a series LR, but a range rover or defender front end would work better.
hmmmmm..........
Kindest Regards,

Not too sure about the drag car though 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

rear.

Having owned a few Series I landrovers with mixtures of engines I can assure you the only way to go fast is fold that screen down, v8's then fly
along....

Take it off yes, fold it down so it can fly up into your face no.

I saw that parked up in the Silverstone paddock at Ford Fair, thought it looked great. Apparently it belongs to one of the writers from one of the
Ford magazines.
No idea what's under the bonnet, but it certainly looked cool (IMHO of course) in the metal.
