That's top quality dedication there, AND the only way to do it. Sort it out at the beginning PROPERLY. Well Done.

big day today its the first time the shell has supported itself since ive beeten the rot worms, so it was off the spit and on to some trestles i need to pre fit everything for roll cage reinforcements, front subframe reinforcements, seat and harness locations. With lots to do i cracked on and managed to get the roll cage assembled and a seat in, finally feels like some progress

[Pitcrew6464]

Footplates for the cage are all welded in plus the front subframe reinforcements fitted and reinforced seat mountings and harness mounts fitted
managed to fit my dash up and sort all mountings etc very happy

[Deathrow]

Wow this looks great!

That rust treatment stuff you've been using looks to do a really good job!

I can't understand why they fillered over the bumper mounting flange, surely that is more work then drilling out the spot welds? Haha.

Keep up the good work .

does anyone know if there is a rear anti roll bar that can be taken fron another donor vehicle thats on the road? like the metros?

[James182]

I looked into a anti roll bar from another car but found nothing in the right size. Found one that was the right shapen but needed shortening and didnt want to mess with the bar.
