I will take iyt all aprat again next week for final paint prep... oh and a pic of the top secret instiu adjusted swaybarless front arms

More Cage Pics

Some more of the cage

Roll Cage Central

FInally! its looking like a race car.... and now weighs about 80kg more than it did when it left... 30 metres of 1.5" roll cage tube - another 3.5 meteres of smaller tube and sundry bits - so the following are all hanging of the cage;
seat mounts
belt mounts
steering mounts
front bracing
I am Now Broke - oh also have some VERY nice willwood four pots and mounts as well... REALLY broke :-)

Anyone Still care?

Wow

six months have gone by pretty quick - oh well there you go

Progress - photos of the car in day light - note its in etch prime and is ready for the cgae builder - only a year late.... Its funny how when you see the photo of something you have been working on for four years it can look really crap but it isnt - its just not freakin well finished yet....

note also that the guards have been trial fitted and shaped - the rears require a section to be taken out of the bottom on the front the guard and this moved up - which is no big deal and something that will only take a weekend to sort out - otherwise they were a surprisingly easy adaption the front left guard also needs a bit of shaping on its front edge as well - needs to be a touch more verticle. I will do these when the car is painted and the doors hung.

cage is going to be a monster and will take the cage bloke a bit to finish as he has shut his shop and is doing my cage from his shed at home - inbetween rallies.... my timing - as ever - is off! I am building some tubular rear arms and have some machine time booked at work - all good.

enjoy the pics
