What should I do with it? (beat up disco)
#21
Realistically its probably worth $500 as is (you didn't say if you had a title or not). However if you have the space/time (we know you don't) then you could take a few months and part it out for at least $1,500.
Here is what I would do:
If it was me I would find some used MT tires (as big as possible), cut the **** out of the fenders, rip everything except the drivers controls and 2 front seats out, and take it down to "MIOBI" for some wheeling fun (about 1.5hr south of us). Sell everything you don't need on it for wheeling and that should easily pay for tires and some Hella 700's or something. You will want lights on your wheeling truck but you do not have to use the trucks lights/wiring if its shot. Just run some fog lights to the battery and a switch inside (keep it simple). Keep in mind that junk yards around here might buy windows in the truck as well, the headliner, outside lens, Etc. None of this will be needed for wheeling.
When you have had you fun with the truck then sell it for $500 or continue to part it out from there.
When I told you the other day that I would buy it as well. This is exactly what I had planned for it. But I have some space for it and a trailer to take it to MIOBI.
P.S. - Google "MIOBI" and enjoy. Its our local south eastern Iowa trail area...

I'd like to see the rest of the videos. I was probably a bit harsh on the Scotsman but then I'm not one for wanton destruction.

I had to listen 3 times just to realize that he was speaking English...then I wish I hadn't because some of his comments are beyond stupid.

OUCH! I watched the other videos. These are seriously deranged Scotsmen! I can honestly say I hope beyond all hope that I never meet these guys on a trail run! I can understand now why the British Empire suffered such extreme casualties in WW1. Over the Top!! Charge!! Who cares if there are 10 belts of ****** wire and a thousand German machine guns!! Tough Disco though. Took a lot of punishment.

My favorite is probably the Land Rover commercial where it wheels UP a 45 degree damn wall, with the tagline:
Land Rover. The best 4X4XFar.

That does sound like a TON of fun and I would absolutely love to do that. I've never wheel'd off road before, and I would love to try or even just go with someone. I have no way to get this thing 1.5hrs south of us though :/ There was some offroad park in cedar rapids awhile ago but I believe it closed. By all means if you are interested shoot me an offer. I found another car locally that I have the knowledge and parts to fix and make ~$2,000 on. But the Rover would have to leave in order for me to get that.
By all means, get it out of the shop, use that space, but don't bail on the Disco Yet!!!!
It won't kill it to sit outside. Hard to believe you can't find trails around a place named Cedar Rapids. Just make sure that if you try to ford water with it that the water is no more than waist deep and enter it slowly building a wake in front of you, not splashing it as hard as possible.

That video was crazy! I didn't think it was possible for a disco to catch that much air lol
