Does Charlotte realise the weddings off until about 2099 to pay for this "rollcage" ...?

That looks absolutely bonkers man !

Top work as ever.

Nowhere near finished but the 1st door gets some epoxy and high build primer on it.

Before anyone asks. It's not supposed to be smoothed to the door as that's how the S7/8 cars were. Only the S11 onwards had a blended door.

Bonkers mate, but proper cool.

I was reading this thread again the other night, this all started because you jet washed the paint off of your front bumper.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Today's sillyness.

Here you can see just how much material gets removed to build WRC front tubs and turrets. The offside shows just how little of the OEM piece is retained.
New pieces placed in that accept the WRC oil cooler setup. Surface rust comes as standard. :D

What's the benefits mate?

Does the cage still need to come through to the engine bay or is that side of things finished?

You must sh1t money bud. :smiley:

How does he get it all in the right place, id of thought something like this would be built on a body building jig.

Epic as always mate. :cool:

Cheers boys.

This is how yesterday's antics finished. You really start to get an idea of just how much is cut out of the rear tubs on a WRC car. The arch wells are huge. Rear flare is still in rough unfinished state and the bumper is a rough GRP mockup.

Parts laid up to get an idea of the arch line.

Done when it's done Rob. Won't be this year.

The NSR tub and turret taking shape today.
Here you really start to see how much wider the WRC flares are than the OEM body. You can also see just how much the wheel wells now intrude into the rear door apertures. The arches are absolutely enormous.

Even tacked in it looks pretty damn cool, can't wait to see it smoothed, epoxy coated and painted. :D

Scary bit first though!!

This is mega. Mind bending amounts of work. Have you any idea what kind of money this is going to have cost? What do you run for a daily ride?
