car roll over - anyone done one?

[Transit V6]

job done
it's actually very unspectaular when it rolls over no real flex at all - and to get it back i just lowered the trucks forks a bit and lifted it up back onto it just using human strength easy job

i'm very pleased - ive got a rear crossmember to do on a mates mk5 transit and this will come in handy

i put these tyrres down to deaden the fall but i wont bother next time (well mabe 1)

the only thing i did forget was all the crap in the back of the van

 

[Wozzaaah]

Well, all I can say is that deserves a round of applause! Well done!

Thanks guys

if anyone's wanting to make one and copy the design - let me know any measurements your short of and i'll measure it up

and if any mods want to move the thread into projects - seems a better section now its been built

Excellent thread - just missed out on buying one of these on ebay - (not the transit!) - I would be very grateful if you has some of the sizing info etc as I think I may look to building my own, having been inspired by yours!!
Did you buy the steel new, tube size etc etc - cheers, angus
