lookin fine now red! wish mine had as much progress!
im re-shelling mine cos it had rotted right across the bulkhead
bit of a death trap really
thank god i lost me licinse when i did!
ive lined up a minter from aberdeen of all places Ł300 plus delivery and its as mint as a factory of polo's except wanting a respray (although its engine bay is white) i might just be sad and do a S1 rep or i might stick to me guns and go for the silver i wanted. depends on cash really. but like i said its looking real fine now! hope everything just falls into place and go's easily for you!

mk1-orion & ripper cheers
danxr3i a silver S1 rep would be quite cool i reckon
roll cage parts slung on the floor
then laid out into shape
the rear seat supports were cut out
how the cage foot support will mount
main hoop and A pillar bars tacked in position
starting to tack passenger door bars in position
drivers door bars tacked in place
how they look from outside
how it all looked at the close of play today

my intercooler is being welded together now so will be ready for me to collect in the not to distant future
222tomb no worries, i bought mine direct from custom cages 01327872855, worth trying them incase theyre cheaper than demon tweeks etc
why do u need the windows to go down get sum perspex with sliders
thats goin to b a right pain to get in and out especialy if u put bucket seats in it , mines hard enough with stantard recaros and 1 door bar
looks sweet tho
windows need to go down so i can get my right forearm suntanned while driving round in the summer i can see it benig a bit awkward getting in and out but im sure i'll develop the knack.
Moondust_crust rear seat supports were a doddle to get out, just needed the welds grinding off and a bit of elbow grease.
M K cheers dude

pjv7771 the original target was april next year, but i think that will be a bit too soon as i havent got the money to finish everything by then to the spec/standard i would like, hopefully it wont be too long after this
