A very well done conversion. I didn't have time to knock on doors to speak with the owner, but the rear cut/shut is nicely done. The tray could do with some sides, but on a farm, I'd be very happy.


UPDATE: Apparantly this used to have a camper on the back - see the threads below.. If someone had a pic of what it was like before, put it up to compare before and after shots.



The things you see.

Is that the one that had the camping part on the back?

It would have to have had something on the back wouldn't it?

It's useless like that, not to mention fugly - it'd be a nice job with the right tray though.

It also looks like an extended Disco2 chassis rather than a 130 chassis.

That is the one that had the camper on the back at the '04 Expo.

Standard chassis streched 1 metre!

I agree, looking at the side pic showing the rear trailing arm mount its definately the D2 set up.

That back door looks a little small.

It would have to have had something on the back, which we now know it did, because wouldnt you have trouble registering it with no window? Having the camper on the back would mean it would get through rego without it. Matt

Yep - a MUCH easier way to approach the problem I would think.


It is a very nie conversion EXCEPT the back of the roof of the cab looks stupid because of the Disco gutter. Aside from that, very nice esp the rear doors. Does need a rear window and a matching coloured tray and she'd be apples :!:

I dont think I'd be able to fit in those rear door - good for ankle biters I spose.

Nah the rear doors would be a good place for the Engel and a dog. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Does the dog go in the Engel? Just a room saving idea. Wouldn't be a hot dog then. BOM BOM

No Bronski not a fan.

Though the colour is the same as mine the rest is awful. I am not a fan of modified vehicles.

Though I will admit that the guys who do stuff like this are pretty clever.

Looks great. All it needs is two nice big chrome exhaust stacks up the back of the cabin shooting out V8 flames from the top. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ 8)

why didnt he just buy a Rodeo instead of trying to make his Disco look like one? :?:

Because a Disco will drive a hell of a lot further than a Rodeo can go :roll:
