DeLaSoul Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Another roll cage update. They re checked my seat/pedal box positions ready to weld in the rails and mount the pedal box. So close now Pedal boxCorner triangulation, cage goes through the bulkhead to the front shock towersSeat in the car, comfortable once your in They have still got the drivers hoop x braces to go in and the cross bar/steering column pick up to do then they can finally weld everything in and tie the chassis back to the cage. Must admit it wasn't the easiest task getting in and out but having the roof bars helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickster Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks epic!Please say you are keeping the roof rails He needs them to get in and out As it is fully caged you could probably loose the SIPS bars, shouldn't make the doors too floppy. Cage and pedal box is looking excellent btw. Has it been TIG welded?- I know nothing about welding unfortunately but those joints look pretty amazing to me.I would go for Gunmetal (my dash is Rover gunmetal metallic- actually a nice colour). You need to be careful about Champ, although it might be fun to rub the 'others' up the wrong way. As it will be obvious it was never a type-R (due to being a bit J-lo around the back ) it might look a bit odd, like red badging an M. Obviously it has the credentials now (and would look good in white) but some quarters that don't rate M's might take it as a bit of a wannabe rather than a serious track car, which would be a shame.

S4DAM Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks epic!Please say you are keeping the roof rails +1 ...x3cage looks awesome, pedal box looks like it might take a while gettin used to... liking the thread updates keep them coming. I agree with Matt on the Champ White, one of the best looking colours on the decks i've seen was someone at the ring in a Pirates Black with dark grey dc2 wheels, but i think the whole body shape and vti's kit sticks out better in silver.Dave, are you going to be gettin the underbody boarded up for the aerodynamics, i think that would be a sweet addition to the project, rear diffuser would look hot, and also serve a purpose - increase emm.... stability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^^^^^Has it been TIG welded?-^^^^^^ Think its mig by the heat Penetration >>underbody boarded up for the aerodynamics thinking about that aswell as well as rear diffuser was one on another forum made of carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
