The one part that was hard to source but is resolved now was the lexan windscreen, which is supposed to be here any day now.

The dash bar was installed today, this will privide a place to mount the brackets needed for the dash. A little trimming around the steering column is needed so the dash can sit better.

Cage reinforcing work
John installed today some of the extra reinforcing to the cage. He has so far boxd out the monting points/ added a diagonal that goes up on the drivers side /added a roof bar/ added a dash bar/ new passenger door bars and some corner braces. Tomoorow will be the driver's side nascar door bars and the bracing to the front struts.

Really looks good Gary, and as the last time I saw you your car was in an "unhappy" position at the Glen i'm sure your take safety very seriously.

Oh yeah! After being trapped in the car up side down for what seemed like a long time I decided no more insufficent cages. My helmet had 7 separate fractures in it from where the roof caved in. Thank god my seat was set as low as possible and I'm not that tall.

100% agree on that, ever since then if my tyres got too hot and started to slip away I've slowed the hell down!

Gutted door
The doors are gutted, everything removed except the door bar.
Holes were drilled along the bottom of the doors for a little extra weight savings
Mirror removed ready to be replaced with more aerodynamic ones
