Well as the title really, I have a 95 300tdi lifted, the mechanicals are as good as can be expected and i maintain it fairly well but the body is rough to say the least, usual suspects, sills boot floor wheel arches etc etc, now in the summer i fancy cutting the back of it off and making it a pick up with a bit of a bob tail.
I have already patched up one front arch and floor but i reckon as i will near enough have to strip out the back and the the rest of the interior to do the rest i may as well chop off the upper back end.
I have always liked pick ups, my S111 was a pick up as was my 90 so it just feels right.

Has anyone got experience of doing it? anyone got any negatives i should know about?

so come on, good idea or bad, i am only registered to have two seats anyway so im not losing anything that way.:scratching_chin:
 
Yea i agree with dr.evil. Iv sin them in the past, with the vertical exhausts up the back. Looks ace! Go for it i say!:5biagree:
 
Do it , its fun . I did a volvo 240 estate as a crew cab pickup years ago , moving the tailgate to fit fixed behind the rear seats and made a U frame in the loadbed to stop body flex - not an issue though with seperate chassis on your disco . Hell , why not ?
 
saw this on another thread and i really like it so hoping to do something similar eventually:)
