woop! cage is in...
first made templates for the strenghtening plates on the rear arches...
then made the real thing out of 4mm steel and he heated it up and bent it to suit, then welded in...
then the ones for the main hoop, made out of 5mm steel this time, didnt need to make templates, heres one of them in place ready to be welded in...
then welded them in, then welded the cage to the them...
and this is how it looks atm -
just need to now touch up the cage as you can see and im gonna take the seats out on sunday maybe and sand down all the rust and re-spray all the floor

Some of that welding looks pretty poor from that picture Jamie 
, and that's coming from somebody who is a crap welder lol.

That looks 100x better lol
JDM Dc2
lolllllllllll, if we got all the paint off then it woulve been just as good as your cage
JDM Dc2
yeh thats what i mean, the steel plates he made on the rear arches, was like setting on fire cos he didnt get all the paint off wasn it, that reminds me, better hammerite over the wleds in the rear arch tmoz
No, the welder will just burn through it, its just the type of metal
Does it go fast enough to worry about the risk of rolling?
Unfortunately not I dont think. lol.:race:
JDM Dc2

guess whos back?
cant wait to hear what it sounds like in abit, as i never heard it with the back plate on
was really suprised how clean the inside of the bodies were
was watching top gear and heard that cateram r500 and thought 'i wish mine still sounded like that'... so i went outside literally 20mins ago, and did this damage while removing the airbox -
ive strightened them as much as poss.. hopefully theyll be fine
also repainted all the floor again and put my other aseat back in earlier

like i said ive bent them back to how they were or near enough, will get some pics up in abit...
drove it last night and im glad ive put the filter back on, been missing the sound, and the car feels just the same as it was
JDM Dc2
picked up my oil temperature and pressure gauges from jon @ shawspeed last night -
sensors and tee piece for the pressure sensor -
just waiting for a braided hose for inbetween the tee piece and pressure sensor and there aint enough room for it to go staight onto the tee piece also a adapter for the temp. senor to fit into where the sump plug goes, and with the order of them to ive asked john to order me a new trumpet for the worst one i bent the otheer night...
just removed the lower strut brace as it knocking quite badly on the gearbox and its that bent (caused by hitting that kerb at the meet the other night) its blocking undoing the sump plug -
where the gearbox has been knocking on it -
got some new bolts and nyloc nuts from ford, old vs new -
when i drive the car later if i can really feel the difference without the lower strut brace ill leave it, if i can tell the difference then ill order a new one from zippyracing along with some rear polybushes

You could have got bolts & nylocs exactly the same for probably 30% of the price from a hardware store dude

Not saying you are, just saying that dealers overcharge for stuff like that which costs a few pence to make.
