Looking kool.
What were the holes for? Sorry if you already said.
No idea! im guessing they were a combination of bolt in cage, and bolt in eyelets for harnesses.
All i do know is they made my floor look like swiss cheese.
So after going to my missis siters today to fit her a new fireplace, i got an hr on the car before it was dark!
*WARNING* im not much good with the welder, only started yesterday lol
Got that small hole on drivers side by the cage leg done

i love the colour of the car, its shouting out at me to get mine done that colour
So after ianel asked about the internal selector i checked mine over and decided to cut more out of it, as i had noticed before when trying to get into reverse gear it would not be easy, and the leaver would pop back off the rev/lip thing etc.
So here's a pic or two for you.
Before i cut and butchered it lol

So, i noticed it was hitting, and rubbing on the cut out, I'm not saying Dar got it in the wrong place, as I'm sure he didn't, but car engine mounts, hight, positions might make this vary, so there is not perfect right or wrong..
So i got some snips out, cut a bit out (till it got to double skin) and bent it slightly with mold grips, I'll be covering it over with some rubber or something, so it don't need to be pretty.

That's made it fit loads better now, oh also mesured up and this what i think is about right to cut out to.
Measuring from the weld/ bulk join back it's 20mm to first pen mark, then from the same bulk join the bottom mark is 140mm
