Some pics of my Disco :D

Yeah I guess

I will need to look at it next time round, I had left it a bit late and was in a rush this time

All in all quite unfortunate it's an unequal size

Well this whole getting pictures thing hasn't been going too well, been a bit busy repairing the car etc etc

However here's one things I bought



50ft winch extension line and another couple of snatch blocks

Winch extensions are handy for the obvious but also handy as tow ropes if you need to direct the pull through a snatch block

And I wanted to have 3 snatch blocks in the car in case I needed to do some complicated rigging, winching backwards or winching the rear of the car into position etc etc

I want a winch so bad.
I mean I need to get my truck running again, but yer want a winch too.

Snapped my winch rope at the weekend, was using it hard!

But yer still need to get these pictures up

We need to see pics. If you mamanged to do that in your disco it must've been a proper hole.

So

Better get this boxed off

Will try to post things chronologically:

Bought a quick strop off Gwyn Lewis



Painted the inside of the shell/roof area Matt black



Bought a couple more snatch blocks for more complex rigs



Fitted an elastic net to keep the winchmans gear to hand




Built a shelf to keep sleeping bags/dry clothes etc high and dry



Can't really see it in this ****e picture



Can see it better here, also houses speakers



Fitted x lites to the rear for visibility in the forest etc



They work



Fitted a nice net up top for more goodies



Upped air system pressure to 150psi but then locker solenoids leaked so fitted a reg to drop them to 100psi



Here's the shelf in action also with rear interior light fitted



Got skanked 100 for this from QT, thanks guys



Had an led work light in the rear for a while switched at the front but using that circuit for x lites now



Also fitted some dim lights for bedtime



These needed a 2 way switch



which needed a little bracket







Painted my tatty lower shelf black



Laptop died and it's decided iPad the future so bought one and redesigned the dashboard, frees up space for future terratrip and co driver controls on passenger side, watch this space



Andy Thomlinson from plasma/Ruftraks (top guy) sent me a plasma lock



Which is ####ing handy cos I went off roading the day before it arrived and did a load of damage mainly boring stuff but the biggest deal is I snapped my winch rope

****but that's abother story, got some grill work to do also soon****

Also ripped the doors some more



So more trimming was done



took more door out



And also took material out of the arches to make more room for the, urm, chunky pitbulls



That's all for now chums

My favourite disco by a mile! Awesome machine ��

Bang tidy interior that

Thanks guys

I have a mate who is even more OCD than me and he forced me to do the painting, the shelf etc

But I appreciate it cos it's really made the vehicle come together

Nice one

L.E.G.E.N.D.

J'adore. ��

Duct tape to the rescue

I consulted my mate about what to do with the now gaping door hole

I told him there was the riveted aluminium option, the #### all option, or the rather embarrassing duck tape option

We settled on duck tape, quick, easy, perfect fit, and nobody cares

Bit more for y'all:

Bought a new grill from SteDisco as I had to make some changes to my current setup, and needed to start again

Here it is cut for the winch at the bare minimum



Here's the relocated isolator, the previous grill/position fouled on a spot lamp



I inherited a different set of strobes a while ago, decided this type would be more suitable for the new position



So I made some little brackets, they need the corners rounding over still by the way



And they'll fit somewhere like this on the lamp bar



But had to abort mission tonight as I need someone to hold the brackets whilst I tack them on to the bar!

So

I collared an assistant to hold the lamps whilst I tacked them on to the bar, then stripped it down and welded up, theres no pics of this!

Then removed and painted and refitted



Then built the bar back up











Wooo video (the music is on the radio :behindsofa: )



Just need a rope now

Your disco is epic amounts of cool

Wicked😈

Thanks guys

It's epic amounts of hours that's all!

That's your favourite CD and you know it

Looking good mate. Where did you get front plate made up by the way? And is legal font size etc etc. That's exactly what I want, but a half arsed google the other night didn't reveal much.

You do like your lights!
