disco bobtail look better with every one done dont you think
-
yes i like the look of them very much if well done, which it look as if the second one in your post does
-
I still dont like the Bobbed Disco compared to the RR Bob tail.
The roof line never looks right to me :roll:
I did contemplate cutting mine but i couldn't come up with a sutable rear end look in my mind.
:)
-
Got to be the disco, liked the rangie but like the disco more.

i think a well done bob disco look fantastic , but there are so many poor one around the sights. i have seen one to day done with a bit if old ply as the back! I what to do mine some time but dont what to lose too much, i realy like that second yellow one
-
Not to my own taste, I think they look odd, a pick up version would be more my cuppa tea.
Has anyone done one like that?
-
i did think of doing that to my 200tdi disco but i just know that i couldnt do it justice. it would be a waiste of a very good truck......
i do like the look of a well done one though 8) 8) 8)
-
One of the mags did an article on an Aussie extended td5 "ute" a while back.
Was very well done.
-
Definately the Disco over the rrc.
corrosiverob that silver one is definately one of the better looking ones.
@corrosiverob: what are the bumpers you have one there?
Cheers
Phil

Just had a peek at Rob's public album.
That's one tidy disco :D
-
which company is it what has done a series 2 disco pick up?
-
cant remember the company"s name at the moment but they were selling/displaying panels for a bobtail diso at sodburys this year, not an expert on these things but looked quite good to me
-
That would be longranger, was very nice for not a masive budget.

I'm not a fan of the bob tail Disco.
I want to go the opposite way with mine one day and make it a 6x6 disco.

-
that looks awsome mate nice work :D
-
anybody got video of building one or anything like that really like to know how to.
-
now that is nice, kinda convincing me to get a disco now! How hard was it too build then?
-

in all honesty
from actualy doing one myself
it would make it that much longer to build
you'd end up with a vid 200 hours long :shock: :shock:
now you try edit that one down smaller, but still keep all the relivant bits
how mark does his series of a "a ....... is born " i dont no :shock:
dan
-
Boss, are those X-Springs on the back?
-
i meant like a 4x4 is born type say 8 hours max be good for someone doing one rather than books.

-
yes those are x-springs, ive got some on the front but cant get them on because the breaklines were too short.

-
looks awesome boss real nice to see something like that well done mate
-

there is only one disco pickup that i like and thats the cheviot 4x4 one its lovely 8) 8) 8)
(http://www.cheviot4x4.com/uploads/gallery/fullsize/IMG_2694.JPG)
-
the cheviot truck is so welll built it has fiddle brakes on the rear winch grooves built into the front bumper and loads of neat tricks,
if i was gona build one it would be close to this!!
when i ripped the exhaust off my truck it was due to following a bobtailed disco 300 and i was able to follow him every were he went, and rescue him when he got stuck, more grip on my tyres than his lol!!!!!!
-
heres a bobtail disco tubback
That's quite scary :shock:
The best way to describe that would not be a Hybrid.....
More like an UGLY TRANSEXUAL........... :-&
-
cheviot dave is the man when it comes to it, i got some pics off of him to see what he did, instead of just cutting the back off, he cut the middle out and moved the back forwards :shock: ! looks alot better than miine. i would have done it that way if i had all the tools and a big enough workshop....and time :lol: :lol:

That is beautiful. What makes it look great is the fact the the rear windows are blanked off so the glass/panel area just looks so much more balanced, and it was a 3 door to start with, so it does not look like it's missing half the back end. That said there is a white one locally that does look really good and that's a 5 door.
I also like a 110 like that (not shortened obviously) but my ideal 110 would be a station wagon body but with 90 rear upper panels with no windows.
