sex wee ftw
So what I did.
Bought 3 lengths of CDS 40x2 from custom cages, I wanted to add a rear harness bar/brace, main hoop lower support and a mid rear stay for extra support if the harness bar was ever needed
Measured up the tube and profiled the ends, then I ran out of bloody gas! So i tacked the tubes in place with no gas just to hold them *shocking lol.
Few shots of them tacked in, I have no pics of the stays tacked in.
Then about 4 hours later they were all welded in and the rear mid stays had been added! MINT! Also got the door bars welded up!

Got round to fitting the brake lines, bias valve and secured it all with P clips. Took fooking ages to get them all shaped and secured right! Still need a bolt to secure the valve to the panel. I will be changing to a screw type valve when i get chance as this one will get knocked when getting in and out of the car.
Also removed the carbon canister
Then drilled the hole for the omex relocate to the dash ( need a grommet for it )
Removed the interior sound proof (fooking hard work )
Welded up the bracket for the rad (i had to shift it 10mm to the left and the metal was looking weak)
Next up was fit the 1.2 heater as i removed the aircon unit! Got it for £9 on ebay BARGIN.
Then I painted the bay and subframe. Got a can of 647 made up at halfords, some acid etch, normal primer, panel wipe, masting tape and lacquer .
Prepped it all and gave it some love.
Before ( it doesnt look to bad in the pic, but it was a rite state!
