vascolp Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Hi Everybody, This is my first post on EB. It's a modified 42110 to make a Defender Pickup. It is not a B-model, it includes several extra parts. The chassis and mechanics are the original from 42110, thus making a small pickup. Main changes: All the rear body (obviously ) Doors were reduced by 2L. HoG moved forward by 2L. Rear axle rebuild using the Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes, which allowed lowering the shock absorbers by 3L. Bonnet reshaped to hold the spare wheel. It became heavier and with no friction hinges, so it includes a support to stay open and a magnet to stay closed. These resulted in a weight redistribution, which required replacing the front soft shock absorbers by hard ones. Probably the soft shock absorbers would now be fit the back but I didn't do it. Rear lights lowered 1L. Seats horizontally adjustable. Extra center foldable seat. To do this I had to remove the gear selector, but it really is not necessary since the mechanism is accessible in the back. Some pictures: It includes some extras. A back cover: A soft cover structure: ... a spoiler ... More pictures in https://bricksafe.com/pages/vascolp/201912defenderpickup Thats all, I hope you like it. Wish you all a happy new year!

Seasider Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Shouldn’t be too long before one exists in the real world too. Quote
Neil_Dalby Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Please post more pictures of the rear suspension set up Quote
Pattspatt Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Love it! It’s a very fun shape - creative solutions for the bonnet, too! Those adjustable seats are very nice; I might have to try adding those to mine. Quote
