I'm not so keen on the look of the bobtailed disco, but i reckon the ute ones look awesome!! The ARB Southern one looked the goods. :cool:

Hmm, that gives me an idea.........

Matts disco isnt to bad, but i dont like the way it is chopped. The photos above are of mates cars, since which the disco has been bobed and the window and cab have been finished.

I will be getting picks soon.

Ive got a couple of crap pics of Matts disco at the Ateco as well, so i;ll scan them

well if i cant find a cheap wrecked disco, I might have to go to my POS with the grinder and tube up a tray for it :) .

I was intending on leaving the dodgy finish as cost cutting is a major major thing i am factoring into this :D

Not the prettiest looking thing. Front end looks too big. I think I prefer the look of the Style side or a Rangey Ute.

Thats nuthing like what i wanna do. There are hundreds of two door rangie utes, and there is quit afew four door ones running round at the moment.
The image of sames ute is similar to what i will prob end up doin to mine if i cant find a disco in the right condition at the right price.
No matter what option i choose I am def gonna be askin sam for sum tips :)
