I don't understand what the problem is? The front cage leg is tight against the dash so you can't lift it to weld spreader plates inside?
Solution is easy surely, just mod the dash, or move it out the way temporarily.

You take the windscreen out as Skidmarkz said, isn't too difficult to remove, or just unbolt it and shuffle it for the few cm movement you need to get the legs in.
Had an hour after work today, got the rear spreader plates cut to size and welded in. Made quite a good job of the welding, set fire to the wheelarch underseal several times lol
Could only weld a 2inch seam before thermal cut out came on :roll:
But it came out pretty well :d

And because of where it is on the car(wheelarch), the weld may have put tiny holes in the metal etc(dont want rain water getting in there), so i decided seam seal it to be on the safe side. You wont see it anyway as i'll be refitting arch carpets...

Just need get the holes drilled for the bolts.
And then weld the front spreaders in, and make up a bit of box for the b-pillar legs, might get a bit more done after work tomorrow :thumb:
Looking good this adam liking the old skool ness of the car think youve got the outside spot on wouldnt change anything on it now other than keep it clean.:thumb: top work.
Cheers :)
Looks good, have you trimmed the feet on the car at the front yet?
