Steve Hiatt Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've got a '96 comercial Disco that I have had from new. I had a Warwick Banks handling and performance package fitted in 99. It's been sat for 18 months with a cracked transfer box which i have finally got motivated to change. The main problem is I'm bored with it, to be honest I never really liked it, wish I'd bought another Defender instead. So choices are to: Get an MOT and sell it, buy a Defender. Trouble is I know their not worth much and I still haven't recovered from the £17.5k I paid for it new. It has been very reliable and other than the transfer box nothing significant has gone wrong in 130000 miles. I've spent less than £500 on non wearing parts since new. Second choice is to try and make it a bit more interesting. I have in mind to king cab it, stretch it and fit a hicap back, drab green paint with everything else black. Question: does a Rangy roof fit as this would make the job a lot easier and i don't like the stepped roof. Any thoughts? Deep down I know I shouldn't be allowed to cut it up so if anyone is interested in buying it or swopping for a Defender or hybrid let me know. It's rated at 150hp without an uprated intercooler so it could be made even quicker for minimum cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hiatt Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 I was inspired by The Paint Mans stretched Rangy, if you have seen it. I saw it a Billing last year. A bit rough and ready but looked ok painted I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Nev Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Steve, My dad is just about to put the front end and cabin of an LSE onto a Quadtec bodied 127 so what you propose sounds quite feasable. Nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
