    Been away for a wee while but back now so we've been starting to weld the cage into the car using ratchet straps and porta powers as an aid.




    Been Working on the foot plates and they're all finished so just need to finish welding them in place


    few more photos of the cage and the sill stands that we added aswell


    Also did a tiny bit of work to finish up the rear turrets a bit more and to scrape some of the undersealer out of the arch

    Thanks Guys should be pretty much the most mega cage you'll ever see in a nova the plan is to completely remove all under sealer and wax oil then get it soda or sand blasted as soon as we've finished the roll cage, then tidy up any patches that appear before we prime it.

    Nice work. Have you checked that you 2nd A pillar bar doesnt obscure the N/S mirror from the driving position?

    Mine did, so i used a smaller diameter tube.

    Yes it would do if I was using standard mirrors but im not and all of the tubing has to be the same diameter to meet the blue book regulations for rallying.

    have been away again for a while so not much progress till recently where we have got the shell on the spit removing all of the wax oil and under sealer and alternating between doing that and seam welding,welding in roll cage foot plates and welding more of the cage itself

    Have been distracted by other projects recently as we are currently working on stripping our Corsa engine bay



    And on our GTM taking it over to Sitech Racing where they have had it on the rolling road mapping it so it idles properly and runs smoother with the custom intake and exhaust, car is making almost 200hp at the wheels which should be 230-240hp at the crank. combined with the cars weight which should be around 720kg when finished we'll have a bhp per ton of 330ish



    Hopefully we'll be able to get some work done on the Nova tomorrow
    More under sealer stripping fun
