Wow! How good does she look now. So have you been able to wipe the grin off your face since first seeing her like this? :lol:

Excited to see the cage build. What type of cage are you going for and if you don't mind me asking (PM if you like) how much its costing you? :D

Not more to say, especially when we have the perfect smiley to express ourselves...

The cage builder is going to see if there are any off the shelf cages that might fit with a bit of modification. If that doesn't work then it will be a custom built cage. It is very expensive so I don't know exactly what I am going to end up with, probably somewhere in between a basic 6 safety cell with some added bars to a 8/multipoint with chassis strengthening. They guy says he will do me a deal if I advertise his business, even so it will be in the £2000 - £2500 bracket. It sounds a lot but the closer I get to a 8/multipoint cage the better the car will be 8-) On top of the cost of the metal, installation costs are expected to be around £1500 but that includes taking the front window out etc.....

Ouch. This project must be digging deep into your pockets now. I thought I was bad at spending cash on mine but you can buy the crown off me for that one.

Still can't wait to see what they come up with for it. 8)

Yeah I am quite far down the rabbit hole now :lol: But I am convinced it is going to to the damage against cars much more expensive than it :twisted:

Also here is a quick pic of my race seat. A Cobra Evolution carbon seat. It weighs only 7.5kg and is pretty snug. The passenger seat wont be anything as fancy as on race days it will be removed.
