Finished the rear of the cage, and welded all the feet in properly today. The main hoop diagonal is in as well as the dash bar. I had to drop the dash bar a couple of inches lower than I originally planned so I can still run the factory dash, but I had to make up a new mount for the steering column, by cutting bits off the original factory dash bar. Steering sits lower than factory, but that is OK as I had it on it's lowest setting anyway, so there should be enough adjustment in it to work.
Accidentally zapped my eyes today when changing position with the torch and shield in my hands. Ouch! Looking forwards to the headache.
So far I have spent about 23-24 hours labour on the cage. I am expecting to have it finished this (long) weekend.
I have posted in the electrical section about ditching the ABS computer. Hopefully the ECU wont throw a code or have a fit. I still have to re-sort the wiring mess. Man I love wiring...
