This day was the biggest day of the project so far. Roll cage day. finally!
Hand painted with red hammerite, it didn't come out to bad may i say. And most importantly far far cheaper than spraying.
This was step one. The main cage.

This was a pig of a thing to position. The hard bit was getting over the centre tunnel.We finally found a way, got it in and then tilted it back until in postion. This didn't happen however. about 2 inches from position it hit the sunroof drainage casing. This was, as you can imagine, bloody annoying. This was the point that i lost my patience and went inside as it was raining and cold.

However, the weather subsided and left me with a few hours of light left. I pushed on and finally got it in, with the help of a methodical use of a block and hammer.
Appropriate name don't you think

This is the main cage in position



The door sections went in in no time. the only piece left is the windscreen bar, but that obviously can't support itself, that will be welded in later.
