A pillar bars are fabbed! Love how tight this cage is coming out. Im going to attempt to tig weld this whole thing out. Ive never did a full tig cage before. #stardomfab#stardombuilt #formuladrift#cagedrx8 #vegasdrift #v8rx8#lsswapped #lsswaptheworld #lsrx8#driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation #mazdarx8#drifting #driftlife #fabrication#fabricator #rollcage #roguefab#rx8drift

Finally got the knuckles modded thanks to @mfurick with the fupa12 and also @slammedfc for the 7starz tierod ends. Still need to get inner tie rods. #stardomfab#stardombuilt #formuladrift#cagedrx8 #vegasdrift #v8rx8#lsswapped #lsswaptheworld #lsrx8#driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation #mazdarx8#drifting #driftlife #fabricator#fabrication #tigwelding #fupa12#7starz #moddedknuckles

Finally got the actually engine pulled from the rx7 and set into the rx8. Just needs a trans mount to be complete. Shifter hole is a little off but wait till you see what im doing. #stardomfab #stardombuilt#formuladrift #cagedrx8 #vegasdrift#v8rx8 #lsswapped #lsswaptheworld#lsrx8 #driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation#mazdarx8 #drifting #driftlife#fabrication #fabricator#mopowahbabeh

Getting small stuff done while I had a few minutes. Dash is mounted and got the trans mount built( other than some braces) couldnt get the wheel centered without the dash. #stardomfab #stardombuilt#formuladrift #cagedrx8 #vegasdrift#v8rx8 #lsswapped #lsswaptheworld#lsrx8 #driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation#mazdarx8 #drifting #driftlife#fabrication #fabricator #rollcage#ls1rx8

Grabbed all the material to get the trans mount in. I built sleeves that go through the frame rail so it cant crush it. If i accomplish at least one thing a day ill be done eventually. Some days its just compiling a list of things to do or get but i try to do something. #stardomfab #stardombuilt#formuladrift #cagedrx8 #vegasdrift#v8rx8 #lsswapped #lsswaptheworld#lsrx8 #driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation#mazdarx8 #drifting #driftlife#fabrication #fabricator#onedayatatime #progressreport#fabbotar5 #fabbot

Progress report! Fuel cell hanger is in. Took some time today to get it finish. Just need to weld it in. It was 115° today but had to get things done. Also pulled the motor out for the last time and cut out the shifter location hole (phone camera is messed up) its blurry. #stardomfab#stardombuilt #formuladrift#cagedrx8 #vegasdrift #v8rx8#lsswapped #lsswaptheworld #lsrx8#driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation #mazdarx8#drifting #driftlife #fabrication#fabricator #onedayatatime#progressreport #fuelcell #fabbotar5#fabbot
