Further update

[nova---chris]

Ok the front bumper has arrived and been painted darker now.
All panels are attatched and the car is now a runner.
Still a list of things to get sorted but all small items. Nothing major now. the last thing is to get the wheels painted. So heres a few more pics.

Not much left to do now. the car just needs a real good t cut and mop up. and should be fine. Not mint by a long shot. But built for a purpose and hopefully useable by next month!!! :)

Looking very nice there Chris, just a quick question...

What are the two little square pieces on the cage next to the A-pillar?

The cage has been welded up by the previous owner. The car was being rally prepped. Hence the hh kit and extra welding in it.
Those plates are welded of the cage to the pillar.

Theres shit loads of plates welded all over the palce. Its not likely to fall apart. The people that have seen it will vouch. :)
