I think the cage is weischens? Is a bloody good one anyways! Meets the floor down at the back corners, literally, as far back as you can get into the car.

It looks uber solid!

first off, im sore. not stopped all weekend pretty much.
took the exhaust off w-l and fitted it to chrex/chris's car.
then took his exhaust and fitted it to mine, my decta is still blowing at the uni join so i gotta fabricate something for that.

right, heres what i got done,
fitted bonnet catch's they work now,
exhaust as said,
haeneses went in.
dials "had murder getting all the bits working, and i do mean all of them every single function had to be modyfy'd to work"

started off with speedo "electronic" then dash lights. indicator, flash, fog, battery, oil pressure, engine temp, then rev meter.
not all looms have a rev wire in the loom as i found out :mad: and then made one for it.

made the loom for the ecu to run, and found the dizzy plug and dizzy both suspect so thats the next job. along with a new handbrake switch.

connected gear linkage

removed damaged plastic arch's

made up a dash panel it isnt finished yet but needs a few more switch's etc

fitted 2 of the three pulls for fire and electrics

fitted the mirrors

on the plus side, it now moves under its own power.

still got loads of wireing to do, and tons of those little jobs that seem to take forever.

i only got a few photo's at the end of today. been to busy to take them as i went.
