Slik 50

After having a look around I think that's the route I'm going to take. I will see if they can make one with a little extra length to fill the extra roof space in the van an build the rest.

Thanks Scott, I have just been looking at the custom cages site and looking at the ones on ebay. I just dont know wether to buy an all out multi point cage and built of it or just buy a basic cage and make the rest to suit what ever I need later on.

Just a quicky, Im looking for a roll cage for the Mk2 van. This may sound daft but will the cages from a car fit a van and from what I understand the mk1 and 2 vans are the same from the A piller back so will I be looking for a Mk1 cage. Im looking for a pretty comprehensive cage as the van is not the most structurally sound and I intend to pick up off the cage and build some sort of space frame. Any advice on to where to start looking for said cage would be appriciated. I have seen some on Ebay which dont look to bad but just wanted to explore other options.

Unfortunately I had to pay for it but for £142 it was pretty much free. I gave it a little hose down before. I will hopefully get it down to the unit this next week and start on it soon.

Hopefully one or two may remember me but its been a few years! Im Owen and hail from the sunny shores of Morecambe. I had a Mk1 Jelly mould for a couple of years until it was written off due to some clot running in the back of me. I then went all jap (like one or two on here) and had 4 imprezas knocking around. I have since sold 3 of them and made a little room for another project. I did have a Cortina P100 which due to personal reasons it had to go so that was sold to a mush over in Prague, Something which I still regret doing. Anywho I have been on the hunt for another project which leads me here. I work in a scrap yard in Preston and at the begining of the week some bloke decided to weigh in this. I am now the proud owner of a 1978 M2 van So no doubt I will start lurking around and I will be on the cadge for bits and bobs and looking to be pointed in the right direction. No doubt I will keep you posted on progres. Owen.

Gutted I missed the first issue I pick up a copy of this months today

The old saying is its worth whatever some one is willing to pay for it. I would pay 2k

I nipped over and unbolted the bed, lights and fuel filler neck from the truck ready to swap the newly blasted and primed one over. Collecting the frsh bed in the morning, Cant wait.

I think its a good way of getting a fair idea of the sort of power your mates car is pushing out. Like "I have just bought a saphire cosworth and it putting out 230BHP". Pretty standard car, were as "I have just bought a saphire cosworth and its producing 500BHP". But as braging rights I think its just the round ones. At the end of the day it only maters at the lights Im not a power junky, I have always found that with power come a lot of ball ache and hassle. If my car can over take wagons on the motorway than Im happy

The wife has a 2.0 zetec in her mk5 cab, Its the 150 BHP XR3 version and I have to say its very reliable BUT I find it very disapointing in the performance stakes Now its fitted mate just smoke it for a year or two then decide

There is a pinto fitted in the truck at the moment and a V8 sat around ready to drop in. But I also have a Eaton supercharger sat around so I am starting to warm to the Idea of a supercharged pinto
