Will this Frankenstein be road legal in the UK😳?

I'd bolt a channel section to the Left and Right pairs of mounts and then bolt that through to the Aston body's sills. Should nicely spread the loads and give you some meat to fix into, without needing to modify the chassis itself

Mad respect for lifting that body in your own, wow 👌 👏

Awesome … can’t wait to see more 👍

8 people let you down but you know your boy Mo got you 😉

Wait... this is going to be road legal? In my country if you even look at your car the wrong way it stops being road worthy.

All you need is a 12v feed to the fuel pump solenoid and 12v to the starter. That’s all the wiring you need for it to run

It starts to look like something. Looking forward to next rpisode

I’m a simple man. I see Hudson auto films has posted and I instantly click. Loved the video keep it up!

The front support before you remove it I noticed you could make a temporary brace that bolts on make that so it cleats the engine bolt it on and then remove the Aston front brace

Having done similar landrover builds in the past, i would susgest bolting lengths of box section like 75 x 50 x 3 across the the 2 main side chassis mounts, off of these you can fabriate any body mounts you want. You could even extend them forwards and rear ward and tie them to the front mounts and rear mounts to create an adapter cradle between the unmodified landrover chassis abd the shell. These box sections would also give secure points to add side steps to and visually help block the gap between the body and chassis. Fun project, just a pity it isnt a v8 disco ratger than a diesel lol

id say should have just made a tube frame with some long travel

Don’t start bolting steel to aluminium without something between the two to protect the metals. Steel and aluminium react when together.

great project only... please clean the chassis before putting the aston martin on, it will rot in the medium term😉😊😊😅

What are you going to name the creation? Is it a Land Martin or an Aston Rover ? Cant you tilt the radiator if clearance becomes an issue?

Yes a new video with the LandMartin! Time to kick back and enjoy the carnage. This is the point we have all been anticipating where we get to see how the Aston Martin body fits.

Literally like a kid disassembling two model cars and swapping their chassis to see the final result. Awesome and relatable

is that a ford 4000?

Niesamowity talent jestem w szoku

@20:40 the simple fact that a "monstruosity" (meant in a good way) of this type could still be considered "road legal" literally blows my mind. Keep it up and lets see your version of the Purosangue! :D

Interesting project 👍SuperfastMatt has done a cool 4x4 Viper.

You can probably use the old body mounts and create some sort of mount that attaches to the old mount and then to the body.

honestly, I am speechless after watching that video. Really great content, and they were all looking forward to seeing the finished product!

You need at least 8 points to keep the identity...... Chassis unmodified = 5 points Suspension = 2 points Axles (both) - original = 2 points Transmission - original = 2 points Steering assembly - original = 2 points Engine - original = 1 point The way to get round the chassis mods it to bolt on any mods not weld on

I think it just needs 12v to the fuel stop solenoid and that’s it

I'm so excited to see the finished car!

Very cool build can't wait to see how it progresses! It reminds me of the Porsche Boxter based Metro 6r4 build I'm watching on another channel!

when completed, this beast will be more offroad-capable than both a new Land Rover and a new Aston!

It's the fact you think it is doable :) That is faith!

It's really starting to come together, though I still can't get over an Aston Martin sounding like this.. :P

The link below is for the rear of an Aston its in Telford don't know if its any use to you, its up for £150 now.

May I suggest looking into building a roll cage on the aston that ties up to the frame? I think this will give you some extra safety as well and give your aston an extra cool factor

dude i love the work you did

Cut the back of the Aston off, mount the cockpit and build a pickup bed behind the cockpit... it would be totally and utterly bonkers... but I think it would look awsome

I beg you, don't cut the Aston body. Just relocate the Landrover body mounts. I can't justify hack sawing the Mona Lisa to fit a Walmart picture frame.

This is just the coolest project because it’s so whacky and different! I always loved it when Clarkson popped the SL body on the Disco chassis, the Aston os going to look much cooler I feel. You’re going about it the right way and really thinking about it. Also a huge aspect that appeals to me is the simplicity that you are aiming for. That engine needs nothing apart from fuel and air and it will run forever - fantastic. Not an ECU in sight. I was thinking about the lighting - which in the Aston will be a Canbus based system. However, you can run the Land Rover loom and splice the wires onto the Aston lights in theory - if the rear lights are LED they may need a little fettling. But it’s all do-able. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

I am loving this project, and I wish I could help, but I'm a tax specialist, which is so far removed from what you need, but I am literally waiting with baited breath to see how you continue, and finish. I really hope that you will finish with aesthetics.

I was actually quite impressed with the schools chairs :)

Great progress! Hope you don't have to go too crazy with wheelarch extensions as it will spoil the Aston lines 🤔

I was shocked to hear that you plan on making it road legal ! 😂 rock on, dude ! Love the vids so far !

Do a widebody

How big is that rear cross member, is it really better to cut out the back of the body tub, vs, welding on a different rear cross member and cutting out the old one? EDIT: oh I just read the part where you can't modify the chassis in order to be road legal, so... maybe that's the issue. I see.

But is it a Aston Rover or a land Martin?

You gotta go offroading with that thing

That shell of the aston makes me think of one thing. Vette-Cart. Now known as an Aston-Cartin

One wire diesel wiring setup. Nice.

Is that Marty McFly's hat?

if youd like to be this careful, itd be smart to put some sort of oil on the bolts connecting the steel frame and aluminum chassis or the two materials will eventually oxidize in different ways and seize really badly

Aston Martin Lantage. I salute your bravery.

in fornt you can cut the braces but allso at top modefy em to mount on to the orginal front mounts, rear is trickier as see how th buymper will sit and se if you can do a brace there to that runs inside the astons structural chassi and anker that way
