burgerman · « **Reply #1 on:** October 28, 2007, 19:25:56 »

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.

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

davidlandy · « **Reply #5 on:** October 28, 2007, 20:01:15 »

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?

denviks · « **Reply #6 on:** October 28, 2007, 20:04:13 »

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.

Staffy · « **Reply #8 on:** October 28, 2007, 20:11:56 »

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

corrosiverob · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2007, 20:32:14 »

mentalmoshio sophs V8i · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2007, 21:47:14 »

burgerman · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2007, 13:13:00 »

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

banzai67 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2007, 23:38:30 »

That would be longranger, was very nice for not a masive budget.

muddyjames · « **Reply #20 on:** October 30, 2007, 17:05:07 »

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.

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:

mentalmoshio sophs V8i · « **Reply #27 on:** October 31, 2007, 06:18:55 »

i meant like a 4x4 is born type say 8 hours max be good for someone doing one rather than books.
