Evening people,

I've been meaning to post up some pics of a cage I had built by a guy on MSUK. I had been looking around for any examples of cages for FG's but there aint many about so was thinking of building my own but then saw a post on msuk with a very good cage on a baja.......so a few emails and chats later I decided to let Jay build me a cage......I had to convert my Marder into a Baja because Jay uses the existing cage connection points. Once that was done I shipped it up North to Jay so that he could build the cage around my car and pipe (samba).......there was some trust involved but after talking to jay I knew he was a trustworthy bloke and didn't hesitate sending my fg up to him. He turned it around in a week and did a fantastic job.....during the build he was sending me pics to make sure I was happy with the progress, top bloke, top cage.

now this, i like! :)

thats what i miss about FG's ...id love a cage for my MB Pro to that similar of the TC cages that you can get for the HPI Bajas :(
 
The guy who built the cage probably spent 6-10 hours on it....just a guess, he's quick. I have spent a couple of hours doing the panels but they are not fininshed and I'm slow!
