Enquiring on behalf of a friend who has a rusty MOT-failed (mechanically sound) mk1 Discovery in his farmyard... What could he turn it into? Apparently an NCF Sahara is the favoured choice currently.  I think that's rather cool. Does look like it's missing a machine gun mounting though currently.

Does look quite fun (particularly the pick up - is it wrong of me to say that?) but apparently he's tried to contact them without any reply. Not sure the company's in business any more.

I believe you guys have just sent him a build manual or something actually and he's seriously considering it. I now jut have to persuade him to stick a nice big TVR Power V8 in there, not the crappy old IDI diesel. Chris

Have to admit that does look rather cool It seems to me that the windscreen slopes back at too steep an angle. Thing is this pic and the ones on the website are all from a funky low angle, so I am unable to get a realistic idea of what the car looks like.

Looks like a slightly melted Defender to me. Get your welding torch out.
