    One thing about your cage design with the x bars where they are it will limit how far back you can put the co-drivers seat, as I found out when I fitted a bar from one side of the main hoop to the other side.

    Other wise good luck with the project.

    Managed to get quite a bit more done today, started sorting out the dash tube, the harness tubes, everything connected to the rear turrets and the tubes connecting from the main hoop section to the rear hoop section, tacced the majority of it but a lot more to do over the next few days

    Been working on the car more and more, really starting to see things progress,
    managed to do the majority of the work on the front strut tops, just need to tac them up then fully weld after any minor adjustments and then plate up the sides

    Still lots more work to do in the engine bay need to finish stripping all the paint and patching/strengthening all the bits
    such as where the heater was and where the battery

    Door bar and engine bay cross sections just need cleaned up a bit, sorting out slight spatter

    Also converted the Koni shocks to coilovers with a kit from JJC just to quicken up the process of being able to put
    wheels on it when we move projects in and out of the main garage

    Bit more progress, have been working on fibreglass bootlid that I picked up on here as it has seen a lot of filler
    and did not have any means of mounting it to the car or a catch and lock, so I cut up a bootlid that I had as a spare to
    get the top mounts and the catch and lock. Then fit them to this one, still needs a good bit of cleanup work though




    Test fitted the wide arch front wing basic shapes and with my widest wheels it looks like they should be pretty good
    once I have widened them a wee bit more as the set up in photo is with the least camber available.


    Also welded on the main strut top strengthening plates that I have fabricated and started seam welding in the engine bay
    just need to weld in the side plates and then the strut tops will be pretty much finished.
