Not a great deal of time free for the car this weekend but did get a few hours in this morning, so now they're not required I chopped out the box rails from within the cabin. This meant I can try my seats for fitment. Its going to be tight around the tunnel but I always knew that. With the seats right back where I want them the seat wings are also a tight fit but look doable. If not, then normal, un-winged seats certainly will. Gear lever seems in a good position too. The seats will be fixed position and floor mounted pedal box adjustable. Putting together the long steering column will be interesting and steering wheel will have to be quick release to aid getting in and out!
Picking up some more tubing this week the next weekend will hopefully see the upper half of the rear cage largely completed.
Can't wait to get this rolling now!
Love how far back you'll be sitting.

Lol sitting in the boot ftw!
Si,
So the rear sumframe is connect to the cage, but where does the cage mount to in the rear? As surely just hanging from the cage part at the front wont be strong enough will it?

Its got to be tagged into the top of main hoop yet as well as the turrets too. So rear end will be connect top, middle & bottom of the main hoop which in turn will be connected top, middle & bottom of the front end. You then have the tunnel and floor structure too.
Ive got to add some strength into the rear of the shell yet tho as its a tad floppy at the moment! I will do this when i build the boot floor for the fuel tank & pumps.
Ah cool, was just thinking as i looked at the pics. Sure you can tag the shell to the cage as you go.

Oh sorry you mean the shell! Yeah its obviously attached at cage feet, will be tagged in on a & b pillars, probably along bottom rear window line, the bulkhead, the floor and also rear bulkhead. So should be pretty stiff!
Sorry no i ment the cage and rear subframe, i added the shell bit in as you said it was a bit floppy
