    This is spotted along the top and bottom and joggled / plug welded along the rear quarter then its been seam welded on the other joins as per the MOT guidelines.. The old one wasnt even properly welded on at the bottom I dont think - just seemed to be tacked in one or 2 places and tapped over the existing edge.

    Nice work as ever Paul, the Mk3 sure didn't look that bad in some of the pictures, in the flesh though.... Might be a bit overkill for road rallies with that cage in it, however the shell should be mighty stiff. Is it likely/possible you might take it to the stages in future?

    Looking forward to seeing your next batch of in-car videos, the ones from Blyton looked lively, certainly seemed to add to the definition of the word twitchy, gulp!
    I love a good build thread, so heaven knows why I'm here...
