Spent the day down the unit today with a couple of mates doing some roll cage modifications..for some bizarre reason, when a1 did the shell, door bars were obviously not specified, so door bars have now been added, with some extra gussets in rear diagonal and door bars. The gussets in rear 'x' didnt go to plan, could only get 2 in looking half decent so left it at that, will look cool once painted anyhow and mega happy with rest of work done today...

Well its my mates car so tbh he will be doing most of the driving, if I break it I fix it best I get my car done as I'm more than welcome to break that.

Quite sure he wont mind me taking you out though.

So today, i got the bitch stone chipped, my mate came down to help me mask which took a while, then we got the other cars put the unit and covered everything in he unit i didnt want stonechipped haha as heard ot gets everywhere..it does!!

Decided on the 3m stuff in the end, seems pretty good, it came out well anyway. Little patchy in a few areas but unfortunately i ran out, so will leave it masked, get a few more lotres and go over it again in the week. Its had 3litres, il give it another 3 also.

Looking great chap, there must be a lot of boilers breaking near you! Best you get those Ohlins dampers bought and lose the shonky Gaz stuff. Do the rest of the car justice
