Cage arrived today, will pop up the unit to have a butchers at it on Sunday. :cool:

Next on the shopping list is a pair of buckets so the old one is up for sale. £75 including the subframe which is a modded normal sear base.

Sure am. Would love some carbon/kevlar seats but the budget won't stretch that far. Likely going for Sparco Sprint 5's in blue like below.
