LR90 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 OK, my Disco is still doing its duty as DD but with all the talk of bobbing Rangies its got me thinking. What can I do with the Disco when its no longer fit for DD duties. I LOVE RogueVogue's tubed and plastic paneled toy but while it looks perfect using the RR bulkhead/bonnet I'm just not sure how it would work with a Disco. A Tomcat would be nice but in a sense it would just be another Tomcat and I'd rather like to have something that's well just different. Anyone seen anything truely inspirational that started life as a Disco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cols110 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Of the ones I`ve seen, the ones turned into a pick up are about the best looking as far as I`m concerned. A std bob just does`nt look as kosher as it does on a RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Here are a few i 'pinched' off the net Tray back... This is quite radical (for a disco!) would have looked much nicer if the wing tubes had been curved to shape... And my favourite... I have plenty of other pictures, how many am i allowed to post?! I was planning on chopping my discovery, but seeing as i now have to pay rediculous insurance on it as a 'slightly' modified vehicle, i ll have to put it off till i am 25 Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics, post me up... Is yours 2 or 4 door? Mines 4, not sure if that would make it easier or more diff to modify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi, mine is a 3 door so i think it would probably be easier but this was a 5 door once... This is a bit tasty too... although i generally think pick up versions look best. Here is the tray back... I must spend too long browsing the internet!! Toby (mr Mod, am i allowed to post pictures with the website watermark on them? i have just been to the website and it is being updated so i cant check) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Toby I'm sure Bogbuster Stephen will agree post all the pics you have the more the merrier IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I don't really know what the protocol is but as people nick stuff and re-post it all the time I don't suppose it matters, if the original source complains it will have to be removed though. From what I could tell the items weren't hot-linked to somebody else's site which would be the main cause for complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Ooooo, ragtop! I like. Trev - you say RogueVogue's thing looked good but you're not sure about the Disco bits, well, they're the same! RR chassis / bulkhead are the same as the disco items, the Disco was a parts-bin special remember? BTW when choosing what to do surely you need your young style consultant to decide what's cool, or would she just go straight for a Tomcat?

Budgie Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 And my favourite... Toby, any idea why the chap in in the background has a bullet proof vest on? I didn't know off-roading was that dangerous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Tomcat is a strong favrite but she's not seen the RogueVogue yet. If B/H is the same could I put the RR scuttle on and chopped bonnet a la RR? Having to retain the Disco wings would be a pain, I'd like to reduce the amount of bendable bodywork. Or more accurately I'd just like to reduce the amount of bodywork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
