Buy the biggest hunk of junk 109 you can find and use the body. I agree dont tear up a one worth restoring. I built my 89 inch hybrid from a 550 dollar hunk of junk series three. I would recommend trying to get a series three though so you have the lights on the outside of the breakfast. just makes it easier to run the Defender hood/grill. Its going to be VERY EXPENSIVE even if you can weld/fab yourself. Mine was around 7-8 grand but it could be done for less, but there are a LOT of hidden costs. If you cant weld/fab then you might want to rethink your plans or get a welder and teach yourself like I did. Gordo
