The shell goes off for cage fabrication on Monday!

So that's were Toffee's arches went:wonder:

Are you space-framing or just smoothing the inner wings:norty:

Great work:thumb:

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 :D

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.

Thanks. :D

Fire wall in place

It looks great mate...may I ask how much was the cage?

Have you got it back from cage builders? When do you think you will get some paint on 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 :thumb:

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.

And on that note, todays update:

:p

:thumb: Are you going to seam weld the fire wall and boot floor or just leave them screwed in:wonder:

Nice will u get certificate with that cage?

Screwed for now.

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.

Looking great mate! On the hunt for a widetrack shell myself now to start my build! It was too early for me when I sold this to you. Anyway good luck. Subscribed!:thumb:

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.
