Cheers lads
Well iv been spending alot of cold days and nights in the workshop with ''AFX'' for the past week or so...took a few days off last week to get stuck into the cage.
My dad was good enough to pop into Prepfab when he was down the road and get more roll cage tube from them..when he was down he noticed Jimmy McRaes 911 was fully rebuild after its wee incident at the McRae stages - they rebuilt the car in 3weeks - mint again
Anyways back to the mk2, like I say got more roll cage tube...the cage is now a 15point!!! Yes 15 points of contact onto shell...and im still no finished it ...plus I need even more tubing from Prebfab again
Im not bothered about the weight as id like to add weight into the car now..as its gonna be a like a fag packet on wheels with about 400bhp...should be fun!
Will try get some pics up asap...

[rosco]

cant wait for the pics mate - soundin seriously mint

[SHIFTY]

Cheers rosco
Heres some of the pics mate...bear in mind that the cage still aint finished! My dads on his way up the road the now again after poppin into Prepfab for anothe 6mtrs...im no gona use it all tho! just gona fit an ''X'' above me head in cab, Keep the rest for the mk1.
Remember I want more weight as weight isnt gona be an issue with the power she's gona have





While I was in there tonight I got some more snaps of maw n paws mk1 aswell and some of the things iv been doin to it ....no wonder im all sore the day..back to work for a rest!
Here she is up on stands..super oscars off




This mk1 has got Balls!

One of the jobs I was doing on sunday was to finish off/sort the firewall and turrets in rear

All the good spare panels and rs wings up safe out of harms way
