I would think this would be a more common swap if it were as easy as that, although I know the purists really hate that kind of stuff. I'm a bit of a purist, but since mine already has a non-LR engine, how about some roll-down windows and doors I can actually lock? Also, I think the hinges are the same. If it IS all that easy, I recon the really hard part is going to be finding a set of doors that don't still have a Defender attached to them.
Just curious. I thought it would be a nice simple upgrade without changing the outward look too much (normal door handles and one big window).

The doors are directly interchangable I used an M10 or 12 bolt through the pillar for the latch for the door (where the s3 striker plate is located) worked great and cheap too
