The rollcage is almost ready. Next step will be patching all the rusty holes in the body and paintjob.

Great build by the way. Are you not worried about the coolant pipes inside being so close to you? Maybe run them inside something else some flexible hose in case the silicone leaks when you are the driving the crap out of it. Better than having scalding coolant hitting you in the face for sure.

I was worried so now the pipes have been moved to the floor :)

We're patching the body and preparing it for painting. Should be ready in a week.

I just spotted it's a southpaw and I've been watching closely. :blush:

Can't wait to see the paint job. Please, not green. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

RAL 7035. It was supposed to be light grey but looks like dark white ;) Floor inside is black.
I havent straighten the doors because they are going to bend anyway so it's a waste of time and money.
