Out of disaster comes ...more bloody work

[Mikethepanel]

Little more progress today. Not really visual but necessary

Harness lower mount threads

Handbrake and hydraulics captive threads

And removed the interior light mount for the cage

[Mikethepanel]

Very breifest of starts on the cage

Had to profile the hoop where it meets the floor plates just so it would go into place

Won't be long and you will be back out in it. Love the pace you work at mick. Keep it up pal

[Mikethepanel]

Cage is coming along nicely





Top section of the door bar needs shortening for some reason, it doesn't sit in line as you can see

[Mikethepanel]

More progress on the cage

My welding can't be that bad,i've had word today that the weld test i sent in has passed the strength test

[alancdavis]

Practice makes perfect,,,

[lee bishop]

Are you mapping the ECU already

[Mikethepanel]

Yep! After tuning the shell

My welding can't be that bad,i've had word today that the weld test i sent in has passed the strength test

think this has answered something I've always wondered, do the manufacturers stand over welded cages based on a sample you send them?

Great work so far BTW.

What a transformation, great work going on here.

[Mikethepanel]

It pained me to cut holes in my new floor to let the cage through

Had to do that to weld the top of the screen section
But now its sat back in on its feet and all 6 feet are fully welded


Theres still one or two bars to weld in yet

And some extra fancy bits

[trooper68]

looking good mr p cant wait to see it in the flesh

[Mikethepanel]

Today only having an hour or so spare, i decided to remove the O/S door skin.
And even though they are only 3 years old the rust that had made a return was amazing


It'll have to go to be shot blasted now then i can see what comes back

[Mikethepanel]

Got the door back today and holy sh it i didn't think it would be this bad
