I say keep it, as for the washer bottle, i think where you have it's fine mate, but you might want to look into a screw on lid or something, as any passenger might flip it open when getting in/out and you would be spilling it everywhere once your driving with it that low?

Scott

does your roll cage have a dash bar??

if yes then ditch it if no then keep it.

does look better with it removed tho

No dash bar I'm afraid, will keep it.

Today's progress.

Mocked up drivers seat rails:

Drilled out and inserts slotted in:

Welded up, grinded flat, and tacked in to place

Something I learnt when doing the passenger side, it's best off welding the bar to the spreader plate underneath first as you can't get to it when it's welded in:

And spreaders welded to the car:

While admiring how well my cage fits the car, I thought I'd tag it to the A pillars. It's already tagged above the windscreen and above both doors in the same way:

And since the dash strengthening isn't coming out, I made sure it wasn't going anywhere:

Turns out the driver's side has 2cm or so less space than the passengers side, so the seat only just fitted. Means they look wonky when you look at them straight on too (drivers is almost touching the window and the passengers is nowhere near lol) but oh well.

Seats look well in there :)

They take up the entire interior lol At least I got them in after the worry they wouldn't fit.

looking good mate :thumb:

keep the updates coming

whoa! :-o

Nice welding.
