Thread: Disco 2 Ute

Haha i know the paint work was crap, i did tell him that when he did it, but it is only temporary. I haven't seen it in person since the ute chop.
I thought the cab would have been done ok as it was engineered i believe? Tray etc...i doubt were done well, he is a farmer after all
It will be getting a chassis extension and respray in the future

Not my cup of tea .
Did the Russian in Hallam engineer it if so i understand a lot more now

No idea who did it

I was just told the other day a friend of mine has finished his cab / chassis conversion. Not sure if a D1 or a D2. He told me about wanting to do this about 10 years ago. At that time he mentioned the back of a Mazda ute cab was an almost bolt in fit for the back of the chop.

Same lines but not wide enough.

Indeed. There was a thread about it somewhere. It worked, but needed an infill.
