Who's going to be building the cage then?
Great stuff with all the work done so far - come along way from when you got it stripped down!

made a start on the rear strut brace this afternoon, didnt have a great deal of time so not much done.
strut brace in position
this diagonal brace needs to be tweaked a bit as its still not where i want it, job for another day.

no dan, the sticker kit i bought was from a lad on ebay called ESCRS, he bought the kit from PJG graphics for his RS16i but didnt use them and decided to sell them. ive not used them yet so cant comment on the quality of them, they looked good when i took them out of the tube they came in tho
