As can be see there is quite a bit of rust up in the roof, need to tackle that once the cage mounts are all fab'd up and prep for the paint begins. Tomorrow need to cut out all the seat rails and tidy up all the other stuff I trimmed out today.

Coming on quickly mate!

That looks like a good excuse for a composite roof

Where are you going to tag the cage to the shell? 

Are you putting in harness bars to the cage? 

Are you still planning on MOTing it? New rules appear to state seats have got to be adjustable back and forwards.... might be a bit tricky if you cut the rails out
