Tiny update today.......
Trial fit of wide arched wings purchased from a member on here....
Then used a spot weld drill bit to remove blob inner arch panels ready for the replacement hawk items...
Some un-needed parts
The shell goes off for cage fabrication on Monday!

They maybe smoothed, not sure yet. The main reason is i'm converting from blob to hawk, they are slightly different. You can just cut the blob ones to suit but i want to do it properly

Sooo, i took the shell for a road trip down to Surrey today to have the cage made & fitted. Should be done in around 3-4 weeks time. Updates to follow...

Looking really great.... Like the gusset work on the door bars and happy to see the front triangulation is similar to mine as I wasn't sure how was best to do it.

Cost depends on spec but this one was about £2k but i'm having lots of extras done at the same time. Contact Nickson Motorsport for more information on their pricing 
Not back just yet mate, still have boot floor to do and sill stands to be made, he is mainly doing it in between other work as i said i was in no rush. Paint will be next in the list once i collect it.

The cage is built to msa blue book, and so will be fine to use in any msa/fia series but this is a weekend toy, i don't plan on competing at this stage.

Cheers mate.
I collected the car on Friday and brought it back home, i'm really happy with the quality of the work. More picture updates to follow soon.
