to stop subframe from warping when welding  you do  a inch weld 1 side and then weld opposite side and  so on , just not concentrating welding in any one area , it just take a bit longer so as not to get any heat distortion mate

[Piggy]

Righto. I wasn't sure if there would be a need to make a jig to hold it see

[twangy]

right found out nobody makes carbon fibre cambelt cover ,so made mould and layed up in carbon fibre , so will remove tomorrow and see how it turns out like .then might make some more

[twangy]

right  pulled first carbon cambelt cover from mould  , but decided to make phase 2 cambelt cover , so  just ready for final trim and flat and polish ,ready for engine build

[twangy]

    with engine getting rebuilt ,decide to start on other mods , so stripped interior ready for cage work ,am adding extras to door bars and triangulating to front top mounts and strengthening in a few more places as my kids drive car aswell ,so safety has to come priority , will add more picture as go along

[Piggy]

Less cage.
More carbon.

[twangy]

    Less cage.
More carbon.

just  you rest up and get that leg better , theres  going to be loads more carbon and weight saving , just got to sourght safety first  and stop front end flex , even make kids were full safety nomex suit before driving car

[twangy]

[attachment=26657]got a bit more cage work done today , got both x door bars in and rear  main hoop sections in ,and got one side of triangulation to front turret ,hopefully will find time to finish drivers side triangulation to turret this week , then can prep for paint. fingers crossed

[Piggy]

Good good

[twangy]

managed to triangulate drivers side strut turret  , and modified original wiper motor by turning motor and drilling the 3  fixing holes that hold motor and trimming mounting plate , so all fits in original mounting holes , so  primer new cage work this weekend hopefully

[adam b]

Nice, mine has to use a zx single wiper due to the cage..

[twangy]

Nice, mine has to use a zx single wiper due to the cage..

no what you mean  adam , its a bit of a tight space but with a little bit of alteration , went in easy , and saved me having to buy another , so really happy how it worked out mate  

[twangy]

finished fibreglassing bulk head and managed to mask car out , and primed new cage work ,then decided to go for it with being mothers day tomorow  . so ended up painting inside ,will start fitting up inside this week
