[cliffybabe]

[initial_g]

[punk_sy]

[initial_g]

they are mi-16 leathers, and are for sale

[BigBavarian]

Like the look of your bootlid and sunroof blank. Where did you get them from and how much? They would go great on my track car already have a fibre glass bonnet.

[initial_g]

my cousin made them, i dont think he has the time to make more of them im afraid,
im makeing a fiberglass bonnet next i (may) take the mould i make down to a guy localy that does cf products and see what hed charge to knock some up

[initial_g]

managed to cut my sunroof tray ect out what a ball ache of a job, but how heavy are they!!

[SteMarsden]

That will be superb.... esp with a cage in....

[telski789]

LOOKING GOOOOOD!!! lets see some more updates as it progresses! good to see somebody putting some life into her! she was a waste sitting on my drive!

p.s. cant wait to see some track pics!!

[initial_g]

aaahhhhh mr felt real bad taking those seats out such alot of effort gone into the mounts ect, rear arches have just arived! roll cage is going to be trial fitted tonite prior to alterations and paint

[zimmer-320i]

are you planing on taking out the dash? and having just say a aftm rev clock? your be suprised how much weight a dash and heater matrix are! if you are can you take a few pics as your doing it as im undecided weather to do so on my track car once i get another e30

[initial_g]

tbh i was going to get the dash flocked, or keep half the dash, i still want the heaters atm aswell,

[zimmer-320i]

flocked??

yer i was thinking keep the heater part mounted on a custom braket unless its able to stay there with no dash.
but then if its a track car who needs a heater? if your after a blower then they do inline pumps called bilge pumps, designed for extracting exhaust fumes from a boat but makes a good inline blower for a track car

[initial_g]

like this m8 flocked reduces glare>

this weekend ive picked up a cage wooo
test fitted it tonite going to drill holes ect then remove it and spray it






made brackets for the carbon sunroof blank and bonded one side in



how she stands (looking )

[zimmer-320i]

looks good, yer i see what you mean mate, like alactra i think its called

[BigBavarian]

That cage is immence. Is it located to the strut tops front and rear? Even so it looks like it will do the job rather well!! Nice dash done properly rather than hack it in half and leave the ends open.

[bene30jane]

looking good mate, what make is the cage and how much was it out of interest?....

[mk2ned]

Where did you get the carbon goodies from ? Can you let me know

[whipsey]

damn you work fast

[zimmer-320i]

suppose money makes things work lol

[initial_g]

^this project is a budgit project and when complete will owe me 2k

the carbon bits are of my cousin he works with the stuff (im a carbon whore)

the cage was for sale on the zone afew week ago
