| Massive progress this weekend. Will let the photos do the talking...  Looking a little sorry for herself  Obligatory dust writing  and also true!  Front hoop bent  Offering it up with foolhardy holding it in place  In rough position with dash bar tacked in and the front hoop tacked to the main hoop  Closer up  Cross pieces tacked in  This is how close to the pillar it will sit. With a black border around the lexan windows and the cage body coloured you won't be able to tell it is there  Stealthy cage FTW! Massive thanks to Rich and Mabbo at Retro Performance!  | |

It's getting there dude This weekend was a big milestone and i can see an end to the cage now. By the time i get up there next the door bars and tieing the cage into the front beam and rear framehorns should be done. SO then i just sort the seat position for them to weld in and the window net | |

| Very successful day at Retro Performance and a massive thanks to Rich and Mabbo for their hard work! Seat is in!  6 Points joining up to the frame horns. The cage is being fitted to allow the removal of the body from the floor pan to ease the prep and paint process.  Stunning fit against the B pillars  I did actually make car sounds whilst sat in the seat  So now the door bars have been measured up, as well as the window net mount positions. The rear seat back fixing point has been marked and measured for the brace bar and the harness bar location has been decided upon...we are on to a winner!!! I am properly  about race car again! | |
