Disco pickup

[elfinwood saws]

Just started converting our old Disco into a pickup, Going to cut the chassis and stretch it 2 feet so the rear axle is in the correct place.

I love the way in which you say 'I'm going to cut the chassis and stretch it by 2ft'; I wouldn't know where to start..... Much respect and look forward to seeing the work in progress

I'm going to watch this thread as I thought about doing a stretched disco tipper. Good luck to you

Does it count as a radically altered vehicle and need IVA testing under the DVLA guidelines ?

[treefrog]

Thought about doing that a few years ago but put off by the crap pay load asthe gross weight is oly max out at 2750(i think). dont get me wrong it will still be a usefull tool. The way around that would have been to use a disco commercial as they are rated to 3500kg but you have already chopped yours up.
