don't see a point for that cage, You are not rally driver,car is to heavy to compete with anything new on tracks or rally,hill climb etc.(where You could compete with one set volks alloys ) as road car You will get more rattle in the cab

 

Another well informed post.

How heavy is my car?
How do you know I'm not a rally driver?
What parts of the welded tube will rattle?
Who mentioned one set of wheels for competition?

Mate don't even waste your breath. I suggest he goes back to # 1 of the original thread and get educated on the craftsmanship and effort on the bomber.

 

Don't see the point in your post but you still made it

 

I have a full rollcage in my 1966 VW beetle. It serves no purpose as I won't be using it to compete as it's the slowest car known to man, it makes the car heavier, more difficult to get in and out of and far less practical. I love it to bits!

You gotta love a good cage and Frayz is getting a top cage built!

 

Wow talk about setting yourself up for a public whipping lol.

 

Frayz...You're gonna need more power now as fukcwit Fawor says it's too slow an heavy to keep up with anything on track even with 500+ bhp...you're probablly best going for a WRX like his mate, even though it will still be heavier than yours

 

lol @ fawor, trolling bellend

 

Further gusset work inside. The interior fabrication is nearing completion now.

 

Fantastic workmanship there

 

Frayz, this is just off the hook mate. I must say, you dont do things by halfs!
I absoloutly loce this, the detailing and those pressed gussets!
I am in love !!!

Ive been holding back for ages on commenting, its dangerous for me to see stuff like this......

 

Must be nearly finished surely!!

Don't think much of your new seat though mate, still each to their own

 

Lovely innit Si.

Thanks a lot Joe, glad you like it. It's been a long time dream of mine to do it properly. Well as proper as my budget will allow. All I can say is, it's going to get even better as the updates come in.

Special polymer seat Andy. All the WRC teams are using them for 2015.

 

Dash bar and sill tubes in.

 

This is looking awesome Frayz mate

mmmmmm rally jacks, I was thinking of maybe doing this. Watching with great interest

 

Cheers Gez, getting there mate. Still a long road ahead.

 

Looks amazing Frayz

Didt think it could get much better, how wrong I was

Martin

 

Cheers Mart, lots of ideas still to come mate.
Watch this space.

 

Really should avoid this thread, too much awesomeness in one place. Hats off to you Frayz looks BO55

 

Cheers dude, I absolutely can't wait to see it go into paint.

All sorts of odds and sods jobs being done still. Screen gusset is in progress, I think Daves still playing with the design of this.

Also painstakingly spot welded in heaps of tiny little 20mm straps for all the wiring, brake lines and fuel lines. Little details like these take ages.

 

Shall we take a sweep on how many parts you will have left over when you put it back together

 

Hahah. There will be quite a few staying off Si.
I'll be putting as little back on it as I can without it looking ****.

 

Cool question for you... When you open the door and see the plastic kick plates, when you then remove them and reveal the holes in the sill is that inner section a sealed section? I'm thinking wax oil spray and outer sill? Do those holes give you access to the inner sections of the outer sill that your side skirt then covers over.

 

Si,

Those holes will be blanked off and painted smooth. However there are access holes into the sills from the underside. I've already asked Dave about it. I'll need to seal inside the sills due to the sill tubes going in. Also under the car where the new diff cradle meets the cage will have to be sealed.

It will all be painted where it's been welded anyway.

 

Interesting.

The workmanship is jaw dropping real credit to bot of you mate. Cant wait to see this put back together. Bring on the next 90 pages of build hehe

 

Oh f*ck, where does this bit go again? Oh yeah I remember! Oh s*it it won't fit the cage is in the way

 

Haha. Just you wait and see.

It'll be like a finely tuned jigsaw.
