good work lad!

i like the seat

could you not get it just a few more mm lower

speedbumps? or is that a swear word these days?

keep up the good work russ

Nice , how much clearance have you got around the rear wheels with the wings on?

That front hub tool's far to clever looking to simply hold the hub while undoing the nuts, does it hold the hub at the same height as it is with the wheel on it? Could be useful for turning the arms you'd be able to tack them together on the car, less chance of cocking up the angle.

That seat looks familiar, have you worked out how to get in it yet, without climbing through from the passenger side?

I've no idea, as the shell is currently sitting about half an inch too high at the back because the bumpstops are in contact with the arm. It's not a great deal of clearance, but I think it'll be ok.



I reckon you're right.





I'll either trim it down a bit, or just get in the passenger side.

Ridiculously talented and you done even know it by the sounds of it. excellent work Russ.

Yeh, he does.

Not been restored "OOP North" then

looks verry verrrry cool( sick, bangin or wateva da youth say nowadays)

you could go through the roof to get into that seat.

I have been thinking about that. If I got an externally opening roof I could do away with the need to use the doors. The drivers door will be nigh on useless with that seat and the roll cage chicken bars I hope to fit. I think it's probably going to be a case of trial and error when the cars in use, to see which method of entry is easiest.

The last few bits are at work, and yesterday we started drawing out and making the roll cage on my bench. I won't lie, I've never been involved in structural design and have only got the intention of making a cage that looks the part, in fact, as and when the car goes on its roof the cage will most likely do more harm than good, but all the time it's wheels are on terra firma, it should look the tits.

How do you want to close the roof once you're in the car?

You could make a hybrid roof. Externally closing roof to get in to the car, and an Club-roof-bracket-thing to close the roof when you're in the car.

Yep, that's a very good point! It'd probably just be easiest to use the passenger door I guess.
