Smart way to mount the front hoop but also add a bit of bracing to the chassis. Somtimes i supprise myself! :D

Loads of progress today.

Headlights fitted,
Roll cage harness cross bar fitted.
Intercooler fitted
Prop shaft cage built (by friend) this splits in half to allow you to drop the shaft out.


Quick question.... i will be running the wiring loom and brake+fuel lines on opposite sides but do they have to be one on the bottom and one on the top?

There has to be separation between the wiring loom and the fuel lines but otherwise there are no other specific rules as far as I know.

Cool so running them both along the top of the tunnel will be fine as long as its on opposite sides,

Yeh that will be fine :D

Just need a radiator now before i can start to strip down and paint the chassis.

Expect alot of progress over the long weekend! with any luck should get the column connected to the wheels. Rear cage finished. and radiator installed. Oh and maby the floor welded on!

Oh also found a place and bought some 2mm steel for the floor and also a sheet of 2.5mm steel. Both sheets 2m x 1m for 30 quid each. Not bad really! I'm VERY tempted to use the 2.5mm for the floor.

Can any of you guys advise as to the best way to weld it in without having loads of distortion?

Big thanks for my friends help today. Came up with some fantastic ideas on how to fix my inlet manifold problem. Expect some pics soon!
