The reason for this project is my zuk had pretty much the most narrow track in the club, this was an advantage in some trials, but majority of the time wasnt and if anyone was going to roll it would be me
Also the hillclimbing abilities where fairly average with the short wheelbase and leaf sprung suspension.
The initial plan was to find a donour Discovery (93 onwards as they went to 24 slpine axles). Found a 94 that was a write off and came less engine and less RF hub - ripped off in accident
Got it stripped down and sold off all the good bits which put me cashflow positive again
Stripped it down and started measuring mounts, wheelbase I would want etc - the plan was to move all the suspension mounts onto the zuk chassis 
Having had a spare zuk chassis to sit next to it was decided I would be better off to shorten the disco chassis and throw the zuk body onto the disco chassis (Zuk chassis's have contually widening rails from the front to back while a Disco has parallel chassis rails). So far the marks have been made where I will cut the 11 inches out to bring wheelbase down to 88" (Disco's are 99 inch as Mike unfortunatly found out not 100" like the brochure says
) The Zuks are 79.9" standard and the original plan was to go 3 forward at the front and 5" at the rear. Another reason to choose 88" wheelbase is if this setup I will be using doenst work, I can go find a cheap 3.5L Rover V8 and throw a series body on it 
Now Lilpig had more than enough power in its current guise, but due to the extra weight of the disco chassis I though it will need an extra bit of huff so have one of these on the way
and thought it better have some new feet too
Well thats about it for now, was going to make the first cut last night in the chassis but my supercrap(cheap) compressor decided not too work, so will have another crack this weekend on some progress...
But thats gonna be sweet... just stick to your plan... but do the V8... thats a whole lotta chassis to push about, and clearing those simexes needs ponies.
