Hopefully, I'll never need the safety protection of a roll cage, but the other benefit is that it stiffens up the shell massively, with big improvements in handling. That's my main reason for sticking one in (and of course it does look pretty damn good too  )

Hi Adam - yeah still in Cumbria for the time being. Nice part of the world if you don't mind the Ready Brek glow radiating from your body 
Aberdeenshire is still a possibility, although not just yet (partner problems ). I am visiting in late April, so would be good to compare notes then. I'm definitely up for some track days this year, though as you say, I'd rather not be sharing the track with some lunatic driving a scabby old XR3i!!

Getting a shell to that state of tune is a major job, Dave at BAT took about 7 weeks over his although that did include building complete new rear arches and it wasn't a brand new shell to start with. Even if he reserved 50% of the working week for it, thats still over 3 grand labour. Thats why I opted to buy his old one rather than modify my own
