i bought this one last week and measured the back

it will just fit a mini onto there and will use it as a transporter for my car

It has a 1776cc engine with 105bhp at the crank

besides the welding i still need to fix the brakes and i will be off to the uk. hope to get it finished together with my turbo by next mitp

Looks great, but the load bed is really high. Could be a challenge to get a mini on the back.

Perhaps a similar solution to what Nic devised for Jim's van?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i got a very good deal on it as the guy i bought it from really wanted to get rid of it

the car has run about 400kms with the new engine and i bought the whole car for less then what the engine costs new

doesnt/didnt madmatt use to use one of these for his targa tassie car years ago??? (im sure someone did if it wasnt him - although it might have been a split..... hmmm - my memory if failing!) might be worth looking for it to at least try and see what the ramps were like!!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

ok, here is a picture of the finished project, still some small things to do now

as you can see the license plates on the bus are trader plates, the bus itself did not pas mot although everything had been replaced or inspected but for belgian mot the load index of the rear tyres was incorrect (this is stupid as the tyres were already mot'd before) and now the lowered front axle is also a problem for these corrupt bastards, so only a matter of time before it is officially on the road...
