With the single bar? yeah sure, nothing wrong with that, pretty common cage design, door bars are really a safety thing more than structural stiffness for suspension etc, but that half bar really won't add much at all to it.Quote:

Cheers Meiran.
Would leaving the second bar out/fitting a half bar not compromise the FIA Compliance?
If it does and you HAVE to leave it out for access reasons, you may as well do what I suggested, and lower the current bar by a couple of inches too seeing as the FIA stuff would be thrown out the window...
Something I would need to clarify Monday Dave.
crickey, attention to detail man here..
cant wait to see what you end up with. Nice one.
Me either..lol
Not much of an update I'm afraid, been waiting for extra metal for the harness bar and to make the gusset plates etc.
However the bottom arms are welded, just need painting and then the poly bushes fitting..

Right...
It was deemed that even with adjustment (read..massive hammer) that the rear coilovers just wouldn't be perfect with the origional rear arch, so some more work was completed and then the previous welds around the car were covered too.

The rear cage needs refitting now due to the slight adjustment, the top of the cage is fully welded, so we are nearly done.
Is it all getting painted Mark?
Yes.
Nice work on the turrets.
Should look a bit better cleaned and painted.
This is coming along nicely. Its inspiring me!
That can only be a good thing..
I'm contemplating putting the windows back in and taking it to Combe for PV2010 on the trailer to let it see the track....lol You know like when you have a new puppy and you take it to the park to introduce it to other dogs....you don't put it down to play with them, but it gets to see a few..lol
Got this lot to stop any rust for now until it goes off for paint..

Whatever happened to that brand new shell you had in a barn?

It came from a barn and is currently a Welsh Tarmac Rally car.

lol Well I won't have that problem for a while, the Nova is coming home after he has cleaned and protective coated all the weld's and will have to sit and wait for me to make some more money so I can get my Seat, pedals, gearstick and epas column, well, actually I have the column, but need the other 3 so it can all go in together exactly suited to me, but those 3 bits are £1500.....slowly slowly catchy monkey!Quote:
