I need to do a big update to the thread, basically the shell is now back and with custom weld in cage.

After 3 attempts at mounting the seats we have now removed the standard seat crossmember and bolted straight to the floor to get them nice and low.

Steering column is now remounted to the new dash bar

Front tubs are in, rears arches are cut, fillets to stop delaminated tyres taking out the over fenders are in, and rear over fenders are fitted.

Gay rear parcel shelf is in the bin to make way for the cage and new light weight fire wall (which is also fitted).

Custom front strut brace is in, welded into the bulkhead and strut tops.

All the spare internal bracketsfor handbrake ect are in the bin.

Front crossmember has been changed for a straight one

Engine has been trial built and has been fitted with box involving plenty of transmission tunnel bashing.

The rear floor is currently out as is all the extra rear panel bracing we dont need and the floor will hopefully go back in tonight (jeffers is making a really nice profiled floor out of 1mm steel).

I have am busy choping up the Apexi GT spec and will be cutting the holes in the rear quarter tonight.

All the arms are stripped ready to be shot blasted and painted.

I need to chase Sumo to see if the Kit is in the country yet

So its coming on well will add pics soon.
