daisy 2.0 build

boss:
OK....where to start

.....I'm not happy with the disco. all in, it preforms very well and i can not fault it on anything. but everything i have done just seems small, i would like bigger and better things out of it. the disco was in a state of finished-ness as few weeks ago but i haven't been updating my post for reasons you will all understand soon.i am also sick of the fashion thing, when i started this build disco trucks were few and far between, not a diecent build thread and not very cooperative builders. now there are a fair few of them knocking around, all pretty much looking the same and i don't like this. i like to be different.so my solution is a rebuild! as discussed in my old thread i am going to shunt nose it! yes, i am actually going through with it this time! i have many many plans, plans which i am yet to see on a disco and if all goes well i will be at Ladoga 09 which is something i have wanted to have a go at ever since i started this landrover lark.

spec list will include

front and rear roll hoops from north offroad
front and rear coilovers
front and rear 1-link(provided the company has them out by that time)
front and rear STUD150s
all panels(where possible) lightend or removed
rad moved to the rear
twin intercoolers
37"interco boggers
HD axle set
15" beadlocking wheels
front and rear D44 winch trays

would like portals...but there too damn expensive could get a large am mount of the build done with the money i would have to spend to get a diecent set.


most parts of the truck will be stripped out and either be re conned or re-built. i know there will be doubters reading this but unlike a certain ex-member i usually go through with  my plans unless there is a legitimate reason to stop.....
anyways i have deliberately strung this out for as long as possible to get you all to read the intro before you notice that there are photos attached. :lol:



now you will realise that i really do mean it

thanks for reading

the young disco chopping maniac :grin:

marky:

boss:

Bluestrobe:
Superb! Like your style and your ideas, I admire people who just get on and do things with their vehicles, I'm still building my hybrid 2a/90 and I started it before my first daughter was born and she's 11 in a couple of weeks :shocked:

I'll get it finished one of these days, really just needs the engine plumbed in(ripped out the V8 and stuck a diesel in) and the electrics tidied but its been like that for so long, you've spurred me on to get it finished now :grin:
