Originally ripped off from Lee's thread

so , a fun packed day at the garage today, felt just like old times tbh, caging up a slightly inappropriate yet brilliant car loll
JR even turned up, in a rather expensive shoe…tastefully modelled here by our very own by willay

then, we got on with fitting the cage!!

stripped the dash bar out, cut out some brackets, then started mocking up the foot plates


then lots of removing the cage, fitting the cage, getting git in the right place,

then welded the plates fully, and started proper welding

then just carried on with al the bits and bobs


then i tackled the dash bar, seemed easiest to do this



then got on with fitting the seat properly now e have side mounts, and there was much frivolity involing the ant and dec of the car modding world...



so, a pretty good day, will be finishing off tomorrow and hopefully fitting the front plastic windows and passenger seat, and fitting the dash back in
stickered the nova a touch more today too, just to show it some love…

love it...



James did something!!!



Few cage shots few





Even Lee had a go



So yeah cage is pretty much there, tomorrow has the finishing touches inshore swell as the second seat, headlock of a dash installation, plastic front windows and give it a clean with some fairy liquid.

Big thanks to Lee for sorting out the cage using his man skills which he has developed by hanging around with a bunch of drive-thru nova owners.. I also had a go of the welding for the first time thanks to Lee and you can defiantly tell which bits are mine good fun though! Time for some much needed rest.

its not, its burgundy, said so on the can!!!!!

righty, so a bit more shonky fun today, got 99% of the stuff done, just needs some finishing touches now
fitted a harness bar...

and yes, i know they aint quite level with each other, but the cope i did by eye fitted the cage so well it seemed stupid to redo it just for the sake of 5mm lmao

also got the dash back in, its probably not 100% where it was before, but it fits!! lmao

then got on with some sliders and front plastic, once willay had removed the mechanisms and glass




and fitted both the seats



and then it was off for a drive, willay said he noticed how much stiffer it was immediately(wahay!!! ) i had a go and it feels pretty good, a few tweaks may be on the horizon though, as ever once you do big changes you find things you'd like to do to make them slightly better...

did sticker it up though!!


so, a brilliant weekend all together :beer:
