A recent one can go quickly, but an older one can take long if you need to cut all bolts. Roel

From what it looks like i think it will be a bit of both, as doors and seats i have replaced before, but had issues taking the seat belts off as they bolts and plates were rusted in

You didn't state whether a plasma cutter was optional or not. Ed 82 Hotspur Sandringham 6x6 95 Defender 110 300Tdi |

It will depend on which body type 110 you're stripping (presume van body?) There are an awful lot more bolts and panels to remove on a CSW than a van/pick up. It's worthwhile factoring in some time to catalogue/photograph where fasteners have come from and how wiring connectors etc go back together.
As a novice, it took myself and a friend about 2 days to completely strip my old 110 hard top. More recently, with several years experience I stripped a pick up to a bare, rolling chassis in about 1.5 days, working on my own with an engine crane, a good set of sockets and a grinder. Unless the fastener you're removing is important/expensive/not completely knackered then it pays to cut/drill any that won't come undone easily. An impact driver will also save a lot of time as will, soaking all the fasteners you can see with WD40 or similar. 1985 127 V8 Build Thread Series 2 109" Series 1 80" |

It's an impossible question to answer unless the OP is more specific. Is he trying to get the chassis off and stripped, or reduce the vehicle to a pile of component parts? If the latter, stripped to every single component, or just major units? does the chassis need to be completely stripped (all pipes/clips/fittings off) or just major parts off? It makes a huge difference, as does the age and condition of the vehicle, and how reusable you want the parts to be.
It would seem that is it generally possible for a practised team to steal and strip all the major untraceable major saleable parts off a Defender in one night. |

Sorry, for the lack of detail, was planning on stripping it down to the chassis as i would like to extend the chassis to a 130, its a 110 hardtop, it's a 1998, that wasn't used for 5-7 years, chassis seems to be in very good condition, and as I said, want to turn it into a 130 double cab / csw so will keep the cab and possibly the rear tub.
