unless you can do a pretty good impression of Morph, how the hell are you going to squeeze your mansized arse in there? :D I thought those Yoga DVD's were for Debbie ;)

The progress looks damned good. Can't fault the effort that has gone into this. I think many people (me included) would have chucked the towel in on this cage but huge credit to you for perservering with a nightmare job :thumb:

Could you not finish it with a stick? For 10mm or so it would be ok plus you would not see it but at least it would be fully welded then?

Yeah I do have some pictures but no means of uploading them at the moment. I'll send them to you Gary :D

Having tried to get in to the car with the cage in place, and then rather elegantly getting out again afterwards I can honestly say it has made an enormous difference to the rigidity and structural strength. Once the rest of the cage is all tied in properly it will transform the car.
