Keep up the good work.

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

No mate, I don't feel the need for it like you.

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

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

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

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...

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

Gary2707 · 17th March 2013, 14:26

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.....

Beaniemoo · 18th March 2013, 07:03

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.

Look forward to more progress.

Thanks a lot matey

Yes pure track toy but will be road legal and yes those speed bump are a pain the arse but I managed them when I was low and on 13"s so hopefully ill be ok besides iv got coil over so if needs must I can always lift it for the road and lower it at track
