Under the dash iv got the standerd dash frame to fit which is only being used to hold the dash and the steering column and i will be putting some bracing into to make it a bit stronger as iv had to cut the rear of the tube out

As iv not had the time to get to custom cages to get some more tube so iv used some plastic pipe to see were i can get the tube that will link the two window/door barrs togever and it will fit like it has lived there all its life
