After months of reading threads on here and toying with ideas I came to the conclusion that I was going to begin heavily modifying my disco! A few of the guys in my club have done bobtails but a few are not to my liking, ie look good but not very strong or very strong but look horrid.. I spent days and days trawling through Google images finding ideas for something I liked. I finally decided (in a moment of 'Ahh fu*k it!') that I was going to build a 2 door bobtailed pickup out of my 5 door disco! After sourcing the rear panels from a 3 door disco to save welding up the rear doors, I figured the first step was to begin the bob tail with the existing setup as it would need doing anyway. So why the pickup some may ask, well I wanted to keep a decent load area and build a rangie style drop tail gate, eventually I might look at a canvas back for it. But for now, 5 door bob
