Im very impressed with your build...Im no expert on the subject, but does drilling all those holes not weaken the car..I mean if you tw@t it into the armco on the track will it be ridgid enough to keep you safe..I can see that you have fitted a six point cage which will stiffen it up a fair bit, Im sure you know what your doing and am only asking because im totally ignorant on the subject...

Cheers

Andy.

The shell shold still hold up to it with the cage in once it's back together and tested that's when I will find out for deffinate if it isn't stiff enough it will be getting a full on welded in cage next winter just trying to get it back together and get a few track days done this year and see

Im sure it will be fine..It looks great..I dont think I would have had the patience to drill all those holes...thats a lot of drilling..I hope you get to your 500kg weight..

[spaceframemini]

Ye they have taken forever lol

I have some more weight saving ideas for next winter so will below 500 eventually

Amazing Truly is, my heart broke when you put the fire damage ones up. But the way you have bounced but is insprational, I know you don't want to put the cost up and I wouldnt either. But could you post a list of the site you got the parts from. I'm literally blown away buy some of the parts, it has to be said you must be mental. Lol.

Got the shell painted so now the nice bit of bolting it all back together









The car weighs very little on the back end now as you can see lol

[AndyMiniMad.]

Dont set the suspension up to be to firm at the back then...You will find yourself facing the wrong way with that light an arse..Its looking great in its new paint..

[spaceframemini]

i need some new springs just guessed at the springrate and its far to stiff

Great project, thanks for posting it up. Must be nice having it in fresh paint, especially after the fire.
I'm rather jealous of your parts collection!

Have you weighed it at any point through the project so far?

Looking forward to seeing everything go together, Hurry up and strap a blower on! It's going to be amazing.
