barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've had a bit of an idea that I want to run past you guys . I'm thinking of chopping the roof off my disco and removing all the doors !!!!! I'll keep the windscreen and run bars from the top corners of the screen curving back to the rear quarters. What you think ? . Whats the ruling with removing the doors ??? If anybody is a dab hand with photoshop on here perhaps they could have a mashup and we can see what it would look like I know I could just get a defender soft top but where would the fun be in that ? What you think ? Keep it friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Another idea ! I've got a p38 4.6 that would be ideal I could remove the doors and roof and just keep the lower tailgate. It would be a sort of open top beach buggy pick up hybrid !!! I'm on a roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have also thought about turning a P38a into a pick-up. A removable hardtop over the front doors would make it perfect. When I start stripping the old 2.5DT for parts, maybe I'll take out the grinder and see how it would look without the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 If I do the disco then the doors will be removed. If I do the p38 then I'll leave the doors and just remove the door tops Like this, bad job I know I wanted to leave the seats in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 THATS IT !! Thats exactly what I had in mind . Just because its been done doesnt mean it shouldnt be done again. I want to do it even more now . I wonder if i'll need to strengthen around the windscreen ? Those look standard. The wife is taking some convincing. Perhaps these pics will help. Thanks Fozsug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I still like the idea of taking the doors of the disco in the summer, al la jeep style . Anybody now of a legal reason why you cant ? We used to drive around with the doors open on the old sherpa van all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barriesheene Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Seat belts. Gonna have to find somewhere else to fit them. Or change the seats for ones with 3 point harnesses. Or lap belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
