MG Metalworks Van Build

[ujoint]

Nice wheels!

... Fixing all the things that bug me about the van's handling characteristics.

Oh! You're putting a Ujoint front end under it? ;P

Haha! I've thought about it!

You know in all seriousness, if you did consider it, doesn't Abitibi have an entire kit for sale for dirt cheap, including axle? Somebody here does. Out your way too I think.

Takes all the challenge out of it...

I have no problem giving praise to Ujoint's product. I've driven several vans with his kit and I think highly of them. I'm committed to making my radius arm set up work though. It would be a considerable amount of money to change over to a Ujoint front suspension compared to the changes I'm making to my van.

It's all good. Just passing info. The leaf sprung setup is arguably a better, more "serious" off road system, but in all reality how many of these vans are going to pull hardcore off road duty? Nothing wrong with that radius arm setup and I'm sure you'll do a bang up job. And gettin 'er done less expensive is almost never a bad thing!

Nice reeemz.

Everything has to come apart at some point for 3M SM600L Thinsulate(TM) sound deadening/insulation.

Fixed.
Let me know if you would like a sample.
Off the hook build, BTW. Mad CAD work to be sure.
Hope you get out to play once in a while, LOL

All the best,
Hein

Hein,
Your Sprinter is incredible, uber clean(I've seen it at SprinterFest the last few years). Thanks for helping MG out.

PS--Off-topic; Are you still making door pockets out of UHMW/etc?

(Makes me recall another sick build: mah deuce build)

tgreening, sounds like MG already has something else in mind (and curious to see the end results!) but thanks anyway for the free bump!

Nice choice of wheels/tires MG!

Cheers
