Not strictly a secret but i'd like to keep interest by not showing all my cards straight away lol. That and not everything is set in stone yet, will probably get a bit of project creep going on as you do.
Once the cage is sorted & shell painted, i will look at sourcing a complete donor car as it will work out better, i can then use the parts i need & break the rest to recoup some beer tokens.

Getting bored of waiting for the cage date so got on with removing some un needed parts today like OE battery tray, etc. Roll on the 6th March.

Good looking project mate!
In my opinion you should keep it blue
Really liking the hawkeye conversion.
It would be nice to know where have those ramps been bought, looking like a very handy equipment.

Thank you all, all the positive support is gratefully received.
Regarding keeping it blue, that's boring!

Custom multi point cage being fabricated by Nickson motorsport. It's going in next week for the work to begin, looking forward to updating with new pictures as it progresses.
And for the last time, it is not going white!

Looking really good!
Have you got rid of the old wings and slam panel? I'm after a set as my WRX I have just bought has fibreglass wide ones on and I'm after some standard ones
