Cheers for the comments.

Great weekend at bugjam, not been in a few years but really enjoyed it. Chuffed to get best van in the Rust & Rat show yesterday.

Above beat me to it. Worked in motorsport for a few years running different types of single seater race cars and they were all pull type fire extinguishers fitted.

Clamps made today and finally decided on colour for the rack, couldn't decide between silver, white or red. Opted for red in the end and I'm pretty happy with it. Had enough steel left after building the rack so knocked up a ladder to go with it. Made some little brackets for the ladder so i can lea...

I run Bilstein on the front of my van that I got form T2D. Very happy with them.
