    SWB Disco 2-door, Don't tell me this is factory...

    Found this on the LRO Facebook page from their Billing Show

    Is this a factory variant that we didn't recieve in Aus or a good custom job?

    I think its more common over there.Havent see any here but im sure its probably been done.If you look on you tube i remember there was a clip somewhere with a guy showing how he did it all.All the cuts and how he put it back together.It was either a Disco or Rangie he did it to.

    Thats a normal wheelbase D1 2 door. As others have said, it has been "bobtailed". Very common in the UK on Rangies and Discos, but I haven't seen one done over here.

    Ah yes - I didn't see that... ^

    We didn't get the Disco commercial in AU, same as we didn't get the 90/110 panel van.

    The first discos were only 2 door then later the 4 door was released - the 2 door lasted into the updates and were finally dropped in about 95/96.
