Everything I always wanted, except for no wood paneling. You know you do too. A little crude in reinforcement, but hell yeah I would pay $6500 for that

This is exactly why we're ingeniously hacking my younger brother's Series II 109 five-door door posts and rear three doors.

Hell yes! I would beach cruise the hell out of this. Well, I would if I didn't live in a landlocked state...

and at 10 mpg it is probably quite the investment to get to one

I'd project nearly 20 for the OM617 turbo-powered topless 109. Huehuehuehuehue.

oh boy now you are speaking my language. Did you mate it to the landy box? Got a Fairey on there too?

Since your reply to me seems to have entered the deep Kinja: looking at an off-the-shelf adapter ring that can be bought to mate to the Landy box, a flywheel supplied by same (about $1300 for both) that fits the OM 617 (not internally balanced, that one), and then a little oil-pan editing and custom mount work - done (requires a SIII radiator, that's about it).
Probably going to use not a Fairey overdrive, but high-ratio RR Classic hogsheads with the brackets cut off, which bolt up to the Series case and work when you use them with late SIII axle shafts... or something like that. Might swap spider gears in front to improve parts availability, but stronger (increased spline count) shafts in rear are no joke.
The Rangey axles are wider, but the pumpkin bolts up/lines up the same and uses the same pumpkin-side spline as the last version of the Series III, by way of explanation. So, Rangey axle shafts don't work, but the pumpkin does, and possibly some of the internals of the pumpkin overlap (haven't actually checked). I've got one RRC pumpkin already.
This leaves the rear outlet on the box available for a hydraulic PTO pump.

yeah to the deep kinja it went I think. Sounds like you have a good amount of thought into that box already. One thing I love about those old Landys, you can make alot of crazy stuff work. Has to be better than the gutless 2.25 diesel they came with. Keeping the turbo on the 617 too? If so what year 300 did it come out of?

Came off a '79 W116 300SD, if I'm not mistaken. Baby-shit brown, but had a whole lot wrong with it, pieces missing, and an interior starting to get reeeaal stanky. Bought for the engine (junkyard? not sure), yoinked, and tossed most of the rest.
The turbo stays, as it's not like it applies gut-wrenching torque down low like it would on a gas. Good revs up high, which the Rover can do well with.
Even as a 5-door, I don't think the 109 will be over 3000lb, so it should do well.

probably lighter than the SD by a fair margin too. Fun rig for sure!

Lighter by a half ton. Wind resistance increased to compensate.
