I said natural, not un-natural!

 

Looks like I might have to put subaru badges on this for the shootout...
Anybody wanna buy it?

 

Those joints are just so tight...really nice cutting David.
Hope you are good at welding upside down.

Don't you go to prison if you ride one of those nowadays?

Are you tying (sp) the B posts to the cage?

Lovely job David!

Doh...... he'll just throw the car up the other way.... sorted!!

 

Sorry!
I work in a normal 2 car garage on a road going Impreza!
Hope the roof panel won't dent too easy...

David works on a different plane.

(fetching my coat now....)

 

Graham,

I hate welding upside down, however the jig lets me turn it onto its side pretty easily.. doesnt hit the roof on the floor though

David

 

I was imagining you climbing inside with the TIG and standing on the roof!
Why arn't you in that garage?
Graham

 

 

Excellent joints there fella. When I did it for a living I was forced to make them with a disc cutter LOL, the **** I used to put up with at that place......

Roelands just this second mailed me,(yes 10.45pm LOL ) cage came in this morning and he's fitted the fooking thing already.

Keep it up fella, and get a heater for Christ sake.

Nice work there, will the bars get the soft rubber/plastic coating on them or are you just going to spray em?

 

Protective padding of the correct spec is an MSA requirement on tubes about the driver's head as it can move to in a crash(!), and it is expensive..
Graham.

 

David; Option 1 Option 2

I have access to option 2, it works very well

Yes the search engine is at home today, he forgot to take his meds yesterday and is now somewhat unsafe to drive

 

Tim.. they arent natural gas..

I have a gas supply in the garage, that I dont pay the bill for (covered by my 'board') however propane would cost me.. catch my drift..

i wouldn't worry, it'll be nice and mild for the weekend, so no excuses

 

Ah...that would be my fundemental lack of knowledge when it comes to gaseous emissions shining through then...I'll go rumage

 

Kev,

Yeah except Im probably expected to go and help steven with his car instead

 

David - are you going to knock out these cages in kit form for wagons?

Richard

 

What do you mean, expected!

You know i will help you as much as i can with your own car, once mine is sussed

 

Are you going to weld the joint above the rear strut towers before you weld in the rear diag? I see you've tacked it in place already.

BTW my nephews need a clinming frame, can you help?

 

Richard,

It was bought in kit form (albeit for a saloon) from custom cages

David

 

For Grahams Benefit Tig:


Mig:













Why welds look **** on camera Ill never know.. need to take some better pics, seem to have forgotten to use macro mode

Welds look pretty neat anyway.. im sure steven will back me up on that.. anyway ran out of argon.. so need to get to BOC tomorrow morning, or monday morning..

 

Tomorrow David... you'll have it all welded up by tea time tomorrow, painted sunday, running monday!!


Anyway, keep up the good (and very rapid) work!!!

 

looks a smidge more complicated then the Sti RA cage i fitted to mine a few years back

 

Dont go there I rememember that thread!!

RON, Im going to stevens tomorrow, so no real benefit getting gas tomorrow.. will probably leave it until monday.. Aim to finish the cage tues or wed then I can get on with the next step... and it involves a 12" cutting wheel

 

I wonder

 

I see you listened then david

 

It would be the first time

I think so.... going to have to go 3 door

 

Spot methanol near the welder...


spot the drum of paint thinners near the chopsaw..


The blokes a nutter

 

3 doors ? that sounds heavy !!! I'm just having 1

 

What about an emergency exit?
