Alot of TIG welding to be done hopefully next week
Only thing is Custom Cages have not sent my diagonal braces for under the bonnet so there are 3 bars missing from that pic. Will get onto them first thing Monday.
Also should have a pair of Sabelt 3" 6 point harnesses arrive early next week, 2 pairs of aluminium side mounts for my seats, a new 182 exhaust manifold and 1.5m of 2.5" stainless pipe ready to repair and modify my Cup racer exhaust

Seems that everyone is missing it! lol
Hopefully end of next week will have some exciting updates....
It's just really awkward unless you're working with a 100% bare shell with the glass removed. The main hoop will need cutting down a fair amount too
then it will be a bit easier. Cutting holes in the floor to drop the main hoop feet through so you can weld all round the joins onto it that are hidden by the roof rails might be the best way to go about it. Same for the front feet actually

Harnesses arrived
Gave them a wash so dismantled them and haven't finished putting them back together but you get the idea...

Car will be going in this week to have the cage done. Will be away for a couple of weeks I should expect as I have told him to do it as and when. This means I can keep dropping by for some progress pictures
Also something for the future of my car, next year for sure I will have him make me a custom size rad. He has just done this one for a Lotus Elan

That rad looks gorgeous. Seats look alright too!

Right
Seat mounts and manifold arrived yesterday. Very chuffed with both but especially with the manifold. Brand new genuine Renault with the sticker still in tack:approve:
For a typically low to average price that you would usually pay for a second hand one

Also picked up another engine from DannyR that I will be rebuilding so will have yet more work to do!
Stripped the rest of the loom out of the engine bay today, put the front suspension back on, took the wings and skirts off along with a little bit more weight saving, exactly 1kg in total
If I have another early finish from work tomorrow I will whip the exhaust off, rear bumper and the boot lid. Then I have the excess metal work to remove from the interior and engine bay to wash down. Once done, either next Tuesday or Wednesday it it will go off to have the cage done, cannot wait!
Here is how it stands currently.....albeit, looking rather sorry for itself compared to when I bought it just over 3 weeks ago.

Thanks mate
I am infact a little behind "my" schedule, but not too worried as tbh there's no rush.
Next couple of weeks will see some dramatic and interesting updates rather than taking bits off constantly!

That exhaust manifold looks lovelly can't believe how cheap you got it! You must get it ceramic coated!

This!
Coming on quick, can't wait to see it all caged up. Also I never answered you about interior paint, I won't bother doing mine properly yet. Thanks for the offer though

Removed the exhaust, piece of cake and came undone easy peasy:approve: I love this car for not testing my rather small fuse
Here it is for sale

Done a few other bits but nothing worth talking about as yet..

BTW you'd fit my Sabelt now... Rhys/ His dad sussed out that i'd fitted it wrong, side mount was forcing the plastic harness slot inwards, bit of adjustment and even i fit now
Lol for the right price there yours
........I am changing the colour of my car now..
Oh tell me more??? Will you be doing this yourself?

Ive heard about this, thing with Rhys seats are i can still look left and right and not see a massive amount of seat so i could get away with it as i still use my car most days for normal driving lol.

Going for the "cup racer" grey which will be the same as my interior. Basically an Audi paint code. I will be spraying it

News travels fast
That's fair enough Good stuff, makes sense to do the whole car while it's at this stage

Cheers Lewis, hoping to have the first trackday towards the end of summer so will let you know so you can bring yours round too
Can't book one as sods law says I will miss it!
