Thanks buddy, it's taken me about 5 days and 50hours of work to get to this stage, about 15 of those were removing the bloody rear seat brackets!

Yeah you can do it that way but I'm a fussy bugger, so drilled most of it then carefully grinded the rest off. Then once the brackets were off filled in the holes with a touch of weld and flatted it off, its not the neatest job I've ever done but it's certainly much better than having holes everywhere

We did our best for a "on-the-front-drive" jobbie lads, there's a couple of runs and a couple of bits where it's reacted but it's the best we could have done so I'm happy with it
Mark - yeah swap you for your set up mate haha
Tufty - no chance am I doing another one, you wouldn't believe the amount of hours of prep work that have gone into this lol
Mark & Tom - yeah cage is going gloss black, I'm thinking once my new dash is cut I'll send it to get flocked, what do you reckon? As at cadwell I was getting some glare off the dash!

haha, very true, preparation is mad! If you are getting glare then i really would get the dash flocked, not overly priced and will be a good addition!
