Nice cagework and nice paint too Mike. Your photos don't do the work any justice at all. Have you tied the A-pillar in to the cage too?

Finally got the inside finished now got the dash back from suffolk flocking on tuesday so today was able to fit the dash, front of the cage weld it into the a pillars door panels on and all the poly windows fitted and the new sunstrip very pleased with the way its come out.

Next on the list find a better seat,( stu do you still won,t the seat) Exhaust off and remove the middle box as the car is still running 3 silencers and try and sort out a better feel with the gear change and then GTI international and then cadwell in july.

All the best mike
