oooh hello @Stormy_be

wana be my new best friend ? haha

looking for a wide mouth bumper atm as I only have the little mouth one

my rear end is facelift I believe , do you have any cool add on bits for me aswell ?
We're working on him!! lol @Stormy_be has a wife and two daughters and only does this P/T presently. Seems to be pretty good at what he does so I'm sure if you can provide him with a part to make a mould he can make whatever. The more items he can produce the quicker he can realize his dream of starting his business. From conversing and reading his posts he's already you best friend, he seems like that kind of guy. JIM

Little update for you guys , sorry nothing big has changed but money's tight this month
Scrapped the old girl


Head gaskets have arrived



Esentric lolly pop bushes orderd for better caster on full lock (will be needed when I extend the wishbones



Wide mouth bumper , poor picture I know



And here's s what Owen auto-body's have designed me for the roll cage



Next step is to get the engine and wiring in after I have fitted the m3 flywheel and paddle clutch and head gaskets

The only thing I can see missing is a horizontal bar under the X between the door posts to add a bit more structural strength and a place to mount your 5 or six point seat belt(s). Just something I think would help, JIM

Will you be stiffening the rear shock top mountingplates? As I suppose the cage will be fix right next to this, right?
No connection to the front suspension turrets? (It does come with a cost - but that is what is planned for mine in March-April)

Yeah their will be a cross bar on the roof section aswell as I looked into regulations for hair dresser spec drift cars last night and they do need one , seat belt mounts is Somthing I compl forgot about haha thankyou for reminding me @Stormy_be and I don't see the point extending it to the turrets as its a pain in the arse for verry little "real world" gain , yes it may stiffen up the car but a fully gusseted 6 point cage will stiffen it up in the bendy places , turrets will be fine with a strut brace
