Right, so it's gone from a fully stripped shell, to fully seam welded in about a week according to post dates.... therefore i'll give you another week to get the cage in, then another few weeks to paint it, then fitting up.... so, shall we say finished by......... mid march???

Am sure the wheels will find them selves on the right way at some point. From seeing the rate at which this boy is going, it should be soon....

I'm not sure if the roll cage is man enough for the task .

What is the budget for this project (in GBP)?
