It's all been removed Arch and new stuff going in the seat rails are further back and lower. The passenger one is further back and lower than that of the drivers rails.

 

This is a bit more in depth than I first imagined it would be.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh again.

 

You really thought I'd just tosh a cage in it Fozz? Lol

 

Thought you would have that covered, I knew I would have to move 2 of mine when I mocked it up.

 

Dave has got one of my Sparcos to set it all up from anyway Arch. All new fixtures going in.
I know he's making up the tube work this weekend so the cage can start going in this week. The A pillar gussets are my favourite part as they're the WRC items and they're so pretty, I could look at them all day long. Lol

 

Frayz doing it pukka?? who'd have thought........

 

Lol, cheer Alyn. I do try.

Will be after a price on some TRS carbon foot wells too.

 

Frayz, any plans to go sequential?

 

I'd love to Andy, it's the £10k price tag putting a spanner in the works in afraid. Lol

 

Today she said hello to the first of the tube work.

 

Glad to see my mate dave looking after your motor mate ,,carefull as iv been told by people on here he doesn't know what he is doing lmao ;-),,,, had a good look around your engine bay for the first time yestaday mate and have to say you have done some very nice work ,,, dave will look after it an he does some amazing work ,, he is currently building me a wrc blob , my cage has been done alone with a steal wide arch kit and front wrc tubbing on the front so slowly getting there,, you might have seen some of my WRC parts laying around if you were up there recently lol

 

Hi mate, yeah Dave mentioned that a couple of guys dropped in and recognised my car. At the time i didnt realise who he was talking about but now obviously i do.
Yeah i did see your shell there as i was having a good look around when i dropped mine off.
My plan is for the inside to be done so far. Then once funds allow ill look at doing the rest including all the exterior.

Dave does absolutely stunning work and hes probbaly one of the nicest people ive ever met in. I cant wait to see what he does with mine, i basically gave him artistic licence to do what he wants inside lol

 

You won't be disappointed ,, don't think you would of seen my shell as its not at daves at the mo , I moved it so he could fit a few cages in between doing mine as he is doing mine for love and hugs so I'm on his persanol time lol, mines got a full steel wrc kit and cage aswell as the wrc turrets and a few other bits and iv just got myself some gobstopper billet hubs and wrc subframes so it's slowly getting there ,,,,, always liked your motor as does the other chap that was with me as he also owns a very nice black prodrive bug aswell but I'm sure dave will improve it the way he does best

 

Daves hit her hard today. Even the WRC swan neck Hans bar is in.

 

More updates the better dude!

 

What amazing progress I need to see this in the flesh at some point

 

Beautiful work Frayz! Everything is cut just right... Great craftsmanship!

 

I wish it were my handy work.
It's stunning.

 

Either way; it's beautiful!
Great car and project pal.

 

Those welds are immaculate

 

very sexy

 

Big progress today. Cage was dropped to weld the tops and the screen got its corner gussets. Tomorrow the centre cross will be boxed in to the swan neck. But still my favourite part to come and they're the WRC a pillar gussets.

 

Coming along nicely mate

 

Gotta love build threads that involve roll cages.

So what's the plan for the interior once the cage install is finished? Would be a shame to cover those welds tbh, they look rather nice.

 

Well they will be covered with paint, but little else.
Interior will be largely carbon panels with parcel shelf, rear firewall, rear bench, carbon footwells and doorcards.
Fire extinguisher, and seats. Dash will be extensively modified to fit nicely before being flocked and going back in.

Thats it in a nutshell. It will be very noisy and bare, but i hope finished to a professional standard. so it looks purposeful but properly engineered.

Thats the target anyway

 

Drivers door gussets in.

 

This is like a reverse strip teaseIt's Coming along well buddy,and i am still loving the way your car is continually transforming,your vision will soon be realized.SJ.

 

lucky ur young enough to wriggle in and out...old fat ****er like me might get in but wld never get out again..lol

 

That is pure genius workmanship. Don't think I have ever seen welds that impressive

Bring on more photos

 

More next week. Lots of good stuff to come.
