Not sure why he put it there. Damm annoying as I keep wacking my crash hat on it

What colour you doing the inside of the car?

Looks top quality work there Kelv. You must be well chuffed

Dont worry Dave we'll sort that bar out for you, Have to say though that in 11years of building and updating rollcages thats the strangest position I've ever see the roof bar put in lol.

Cheers Danny, I have every faith

The muppet that put it in thought you could still open the sunroof by placing it there. But you still cant get a full turn on the handle!! Plus I dont want the sunroof anyway!!

Where the tray is going in, can we cover that complete section in sheet as I think that will look really neat and cover that mess, then I can mount the battery and fuel pump on it?

Come on Kelv, what colour. I heard PINK mentioned!!

Looking awesome Kelv!

My prediction is that this car is back in bits within 6 months of being on the cover of one of the Ford mags.... after doing less than 3 trackdays in total!

Sorry Kelv!
