A lot to be said for that sort of mentality
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
Paint arrived today, WOOP 727
Started tacking cage in today will be finished Monday
Apologies for shite pics
Rear of the cage has been attached to chassis rails
Had the front of cage welded to struts these are to be welded and capped yet
Small error... Lads had tacked the uprights the wrong side of the car lol easily sorted ....don't think I'd like to keep it like this lol

how much did that set you back? Serious bit of kit that
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
cheers lads, yes its COMPLETE overkill, but i don't like doing things by halves pmsl.. who knows a mk1 WRC car?...think its long overdue personally! ROFL
The cage is a custom cages cage and i know a very similar spec cage was fitted to icemans endurance 182 and he said he paid £3250? for supply fit and paint...
The cage is an 8 point ( i think) it has been welded to the front struts(2) and drivers foot well (2) rear of the foot well (2) and then sunk through the boot floor to the chassis rails ((2)....8points?)) which were also strengthened in the process. The uprights have also been slotted through the Door X to give me a bit more room.
Silent_scone i bought the cage for £450, got it fitted for about the same (£500 i wanted a few bits doing) and the lads that did it are local so cost me £20 to trailer it. (including rental of trailer) Still i think you will agree a hell of a lot less than £3250
Due to me duffing my hand up at work with a circular saw im still off work so this is probably going to be the last update for a while, well i might rattle can the interior to get an idea of what the colour is gonna look like.
Chip Cheers dude,the plan originlly was to get her ready for Comb action day as a shakedown for FCS, but like i said now ive fitted this im seriously low on cash, due to being off work, to get her ready in time, i doubt she will even be ready for fcs tbh!!

450 quid??????????????????? That is a lot of cage for less than half a grand!!!!!
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
Yup, just less than 1k........ £970 all in, including delivery of car lol
RBS are the boys, they had on previously done things for banger racing in the past! But these guys know how to weld and that is what i wanted.. good welds.. good penetration into the cage, i dont want it going anywhere!
So im assuming i can use the rear part of the cage as a harness bar.. as it dossnt look like the cross in the front hoop is in the way.
the dash is the next problem with that main bulkhead bar... its unlikly thats going to fit.
of course i would love somthing like they have on the cup cars.. but i think that is definatly out of my price range.

Sorry, I meant the hoop tube welded all the way around onto the plate.
What your plans for the car? Track days only or some racing? (Apologies if you have already said and I'v missed it!)
Cant see why not, sensible sort of height and blatantly strong enough.
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
James yes it is said they swore alot doing it! Obviously some areas are harder to do so haven't been done as best they can, cage is only for track days, as I stated totally over the top but at the price I really can't complain lol
Chip cheers dude thought they were slightly too close to the front hoop X but actually they seem to be ok? Any suggestions about dash?

Discounted 1*2 parts
I can't see your pics?

Out of interest where did you get the cage from at that ridiculously good price?
Can you trip the dash to fit around the bulkhead bar, and then weld tabs onto the cage at the end to mount the dash?
See post 180 page 9
With the bulkhead bar being there it's going to make refutment of original dash awkward...any ideas?
What use is the car going to have?
If only going to be a circuit car and not really a road car anymore, no real need to have a dash as such, just make up some brackets for the display screen (dash2 iirc?) and dont bother with the rest is one option.
Or you could try cutting and shutting a later dash into it, like I have in mine (andyrg did the fitting before I bought the shell), as if you are going to be cutting it up anyway why go to that trouble just for a hideous mk1 dash?
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
Was gonna go dash2 when I go vag, cars been off road ages now just gonna try get her on the road again first
Mostly a track car I would think now, sod a cage like that on a daily Pmsl
id just like a dash to neaten things up
That mk2 dash looks much better than I thought iit would!
does yours have a bulkhead bar?
