Now I know why hacking the various 3 series you have is no drama for you! So after 11 years of grinding, welding and generally dicking around with cars, you still want more of the same? :)

Nutter. I say that as a compliment.

Very well done sir!:cheers2: I think some folks might not appreciate just how much work/time was involved there! Did you use two of the existing chassis rails to weld your cage too? How long did this little project take?

Thanks Russ , The existing chassis rails where usd but we filled them in to create a box section rail rather than the standard channel arrangement.
i cannot recall how long it took to get to this stage :)
