This why you feel the need for a man inside you instead?

Thanks for all your posts guys really appreciate it :)
It makes all my hard work feel worth it :)

Can't take credit for that welding it was all Chris all I did was hold bits in place and hit things with a lump hammer, Chris called me Thor for a while after that lol

Then...
 
My garage looks soooo!!! empty The car has now been taken down to beaniesport ready for us to get started fitting a custom cages roll cage, seat bars and new non sun roof skin tomorrow and the rest of the week :) can't wait!!!




Gary2707 10th March 2013 10:25

Update... One week working at beanisport
 
Hi guys, right iv spent the last week down at chris's garge (beaniesport) helping him to fit my new custom cages multipoint roll cage & new non sun roof, roof skin....

First we had to remove the old roof skin...




Then we started to measure up for the main hoop and the A pillar bars and put rear buckets in place...



We then began to build up the front section...


Then it was joined to the main hoop...


Next it was front bar, door bars, main rear cross & harness bars...






Time for the dash bar, main v, mounting plates & join the cage to the car...




New roof put in place then rolled out side for pic's :)





1x roll cage DONE!!!
Many thanks to Chris for his help, welding and letting me help to do the work.
I had a great time down at beaniesport :)
The car is now back home in Nottingham

Gary2707 10th March 2013 13:43

Very small update...
 
Have just given the cage a quick prime to stop any rust


It will get all cleaned off when properly painted :)

tom_vts16v 10th March 2013 14:16

looks very nice mate hoping to do something similar with mine :)

Beaniemoo 10th March 2013 19:34

Woo! Cracking fun doing the car this week, massive thanks for the opportunity to do it! Can't wait to see it progress and with a little luck pop back every now and then.

AlexFocusST 10th March 2013 19:59

Wow!
I must say Beaniesport seem to be taking off very fast!
Full fitment of a roll cage in a week...:clapping:

Will be keeping an eye on this thread , got much potential!

Gary2707 14th March 2013 00:14

Thanks a lot for your posts guys hopefully can get some more progress on this at the weekend :y:

Gary2707 17th March 2013 14:26

Little update from yesterday
 
Unfortunately with one thing and another I didn't get as much work done as I'd've liked yesterday but I did manage to modify (cut up!! Lol!!) the dash so that it fits in with the roll cage.



I think I'm gonna have fun trying to get my clocks in place lol...

Hopefully I'll be getting a stack dash so will be able to try and build something custom to get it to fit.

Here's what I took off to get it in...


Now to get the dash wrapped in faux suede ( I don't like flocking )
And iv got to see if my heater matrix fits in place.

To be continued..... ;)

Looks like you had fun fitting your dash back in!
Did you leave the threads that mount it to the bulkhead?
Need to do some thinking about mounting the dials then.
Looking sharp though, it's nice to see progress

Jeeeeez. When I picked up my parts from you, and you said you had plans, never immagined this.
Looks beautiful. I take it, it's just going to be for pure track use, it won't clear all the speed lumps near you.
:D Look forward to more progress.
