Yay. I should be all welded up by then, maybe with a cage. And hopefully will have had plenty of seat time.

Just put my name down on the group buy from apex for the rest of my cage which will be september i think

[Linked Image]

Front cages to go with existing rears are £129. Thats a pair of front legs, top window bar and doors bars including all necessary mounting fixings.

Just need to get sombody to weld a cross section in the middle so i can use my carbon roof and compete.

BARGAIN

The full cages are full FIA EDC/BDC/Pro Drift/Time Attack spec made from cold drawn steel so will be able to use it next year if i get my license to do BDC.

Fitting the hydro weds and should fingers crossed have the wider fenders on depending on the bloody weather.

The wife finaly didnt have any bloody plans for me today so got some work done on the car.

Big thanks to Dale (park monkey) and Oscar (oscar200) for there help with the hydro and fenders.

1st off was to sort the arches out this is the somthing i havnt done before so was alittle hit and miss so out with the grinder

[Linked Image]

found plenty of rust though which has now been cut out and the stuff i couldnt remove has been treated.

1st off cutting

[Linked Image]

Wasnt high enough so cut alittle higher once done cut slices in the metal and folded the inner arches out over the rear qtr

[Linked Image]

Then Oscar come round and Helped with the rest cheers kidda

Riveted them to the outer qtr and bonded and sealed so no water gets in its very messy but its somthing you wont be seeing unless i rip the fenders off (with my driving thats a good chance)

Then matched up the fenders and riveted them on

Transfors the look of the car i think its much wider and gives it a more agressive stance i think.

Next up paint and wheels that will fill the arches.

Once that was done lined up the front light as thats been on the piss since i put the front end on also fitted the rest of the cage down as i kept breaking drill bits so gave up but its sorted now lol.

Next Dale helped chuck the Driftworks Hydraulic Handbrake on i broke the standard s13 handbrake cable suport at Oulton park last year and after fixing it twice have ripped it out the floor again so the hydro was a must really.

1st off the T-Piece section at the rear

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

Fed the line through a hole i had just behind the drivers seat and to the hydro itself (havnt fastend the lines to the floor yet)

[Linked Image]

Dale had to make up a little section for me as i lost the unions for the front that came with the kit but need to get another one as the one that runs to the front is a different thread to the one he had made up once this is done the its just a case of bleeding the system then its mot time.
