it wont be slow mark. it should be a fair bit quicker than mine and I have already got a bmw m3, evo 4 and a fair few imprezzas on my kill list.

also, you need to send me a copy of your 191bhp graph so I can compare it with my measly 190.2 bhp graph

Not massive but the car is now stitch welded to the extent im happy with, all the shell prep is done, the next step is the roll cage, this is happening tomorrow, any way heres sme pics for now:





the extra brace by the handbrake will have two brackets to support the handbrake as its a little bit wobblie!

removed the sunroof, not so easy when there is a cage in the way...... grinder solved that problem tho!







the middle seam will be tig'd to finish it off.

so cage, then paint inside and engine bay, should be sorted by middle of next week, then its just fit the engine and iv decided to make a new wiring loom for the complete car.......

its changed a bit! so light now!

anyway, thats it!

just like to take the opertunity to say thatnks to the boss (jamie) and robin for loads of work they have both done.

the shells looks sooo good now! so impressed

Don't forget to plug the holes in the bulkhead before painting it, there's a few there that aren't needed now.

I can't wait to see the cage done

Are you having the whole interior painted as well as the bay (and in the same special colour?)

engine bay and interior will all be painted the same "special" colour. theres more i could do to the shell, but there just isnt point, it would take to lomng to get looking neat and not have much gain!

ill give you a call when its ready to be picked up, you can with me, going straight to the paint shop after thats done
