Default building a track car part 5

hi chaps a while ago i started building my new track car which is co owned by my no 2 son kevin
we posted up some suspension mods etc here is some body prep ,hope you like
type ra

with all its sponsors
car then striped out of all interior ,anything that burns, all soung deadning and all brackets that are redundant


all wiring disconected dash removed


the full floor scraped and sanded

brackets for cage welded in




hyd h/brake bkts made to take this



who is the good looking guy in the welders helmet

the floor has been stich welded for extra strength

the floor bungs also filled in for strength

because we are using a bolt in cage we added a tube to the rear floor braced to the rear part of the cage mounting brackets(side impact protection




with all welding done ,inc removing seat bkts the interior was made ready for painting ,she now looks like this





we are now ready to start rebuilding the interior ,trying to keep weight to a mimimum. the crash x brace har been welded for strength and powdercoated red along with the cage .both pedal boxes modified for competition . now ready for the brake hoses to go in with hyd hand brake. we will have 2 h/brakes and a front to rear brake split instead of diagonal . all hoses will be aeroquip .
i will post more as we progress geo
