Been pretty busy at work recently but still managed to get a decent amount done
Cut,bent and shaped all the tubing, temporarily put full cage together to see if any slight adjustments needed to be made
Tacced up the main hoop
Tacced up the rear turrets
And also started the dash build out of wood to get the basic shape before we make the mould
The main reason we made it a straight tube was so we could fully weld it out of the car and so that the main hoop section would keep its shape in and out of the car, If we had used a tube with a bend it would have been impossible to fit back in the car after welding it

Been working on the car more and more, really starting to see things progress,
managed to do the majority of the work on the front strut tops, just need to tac them up then fully weld after any minor adjustments and then plate up the sides
Still lots more work to do in the engine bay need to finish stripping all the paint and patching/strengthening all the bits
such as where the heater was and where the battery
Door bar and engine bay cross sections just need cleaned up a bit, sorting out slight spatter
Also converted the Koni shocks to coilovers with a kit from JJC just to quicken up the process of being able to put
wheels on it when we move projects in and out of the main garage

Really cool, don’t have much like this in the states. You guys really got some of the best hot hatches.

This is going to have some serious lighting I can see, going to make a great rally car. What color are you planning on going with?

Thanks! Undecided on colour as of yet probably white and then we'll wrap it from there

Good call, and being a rally car there are a lot of great color schemes you can choose from
