was a good pint, went for a curry afterwards as I was out with a mate I havent seen in a month or two. might take some in the morning, depending on what time I go to my sisters to FINISH the damn kitchen.. **** working and no money!! Having said that might have a contract lined up for 6 weeks on sensible money.

it is, its a shame though as Id love to get steven pissed and take him for a decent curry 
Anway.. think im a little high from the old 2k paint
sill is welded, filled and primed.. not ready for primer but it makes it 100 times easier to see where the stopper and hard work needs to be placed!
back quarter also needs a fair bit of work..
however 1 day on kitchen left, got 6 sockets to fit, 3 plinths (2 need 45degree mitres.. piece of ****). Light fitting to change.. and need to get another box of tiles to finish tiling, then its get my mate around to paint (He's a decorator) oh and stick the worktop edging strip on 3 edges
Might even post a pic of that.

I thought you all were buying real roll cages all cut to suit, sub welded and ready for final installment?
Why not a simple 6 point bolt-in but welded to suit the shell and brace accordingly but minimally to best effect?
Have i missed something?
For speed events you don't need the PowerStation treatment?
I hope to see my sketch realised!

Graham, a weld in cage comes in two formats; bent tubes with straight ends, or for more money profiled ends...but the profiling is prety poor so you end up having to adjust them to suit your own shell.
The big boys want weld in because tehy adds strength to the chassis that a bolt in can't...especailly if you're removing large chunck of metal for lighterweight panels
