a fair bit has gone on in the last few days. most of the work has gone into the roll cage so theres not too many photos as its just removal and refit all the time to line things up. having the reinforcement bars in the door isnt any help at all but i cant do anything about it until the fronend is finished

heres a few photos of the cage in place with the exhaust tunnel frame and the steering column

almost finished frame, just needs some triangluation on the front and its finished

the cage put in postion so i can get the spreader plates mounted right

im going to hang the steering column from the dash bar rather than using the original style dash rail, this should give me a slightly nicer angle to the wheel aswell.

i moved onto the front again, and started to remove the thick plate on the tower mounts as i could feel a slight bubble on both sides. good job i took them off as the metal was stupidly thin behind so ill be fixing that tomorrow and putting on some 3mm plate instead

next i decided to replace the hinge panel on the boot, turned out quite simple compared to what people had told me.
