we'll engine bay pretty much complete except the cage work which will follow , i moved on to seam welding the inside of the car .

For this to be done correct and the cage to be 100% spot on i had to strip the dash completely out and then had to dress up every seam on the car again to be able to start the welding pretty much the same procedure as the engine bay .

inside untouched except seats removed



dash starting to be removed




completely stripped




getting prep'd




then seam welded





so now car completely seam welded its now time to move on to the new front cage to be made for this we are using 38mm cds tube and getting bent with out HUTH pipe bender.

reason for the new front cage is i was wanting it a bit tighter to the A piller and also wanting it to go straight on to the strut tops and cross braced at both doors and behind the seats.

first part of the cage in place





now a perfect fit to the A piller alot happier so now added the first part of the cage to go onto the strut tops.
