Do the welding your self, just start with the small stuff and then get stuck in, i never though id say that,but it can be done, learning to weld is like sex, your nervous at first but soon get into it and then quickly feel like it's second nature! lol
got to spread rep before giving it to scott parker again :(
lol im thinking about having ago myself but i think the cage will be welded in by a pro,(so i can get the certificate)
Oh right, what you get a certificate if it's fitted from new by a qualified welder then? Cool..
well on www.customcages.co.uk they say if a qualified welder welds it in or someone who welds some peices of metal and sends it back and passes a test. they will send you out a Msa/Fia certificate
just read full thread mate and it looks like it will be mint when you finish. Any recent updates/pics?
havent got any progress at the moment as all my money has gone on my daily to get me back on the road.
Will be updated when i pull my finger out and order some bits,
Dont think that its going to be finished any time soon though
Dude get in touch if you'd like a hand or some welding lessons, i've had loads of practice. LOL!

sweet mate will keep you in mind as ive never welded in my life lol.
Have a look if you know anyone with a welder that would help alot :)
Right as i cant help but spend money on my daily this has taken a back seat but im hopefully going to go and blag an engine tonight off my missus dad.
Seeing as the engine will be free or near enough free im going to have ago at fitting it.
The donor car is a k reg saab 9000 2.3 turbo :)
this will only be my second conversion but by far the hardest.
I will get some more pics when i get the engine out of the saab.
One quick question, i know ive got to run a vaux gearbox but what to go for? F20 or F28?
I think im going to borrow a mates screwed F20 just to bolt it in there and see what needs doing.
