Got a couple of hours on it today, whells just about fit under the arches now & fair bit of weight removed, rear impact/jacking point from the mx5 lashed up to fit. Still contemplating Bdc Rd2

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Decided I'm not gonna rush this thing, get all the right parts on it 1st.

These 318is engines are surprisingly fruty 😁👌

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Cage now complete bar the front feet boxes, really happy with this one. A couple of the welds need a grind back as got a little carried away trying to make them look neater but for the most part pretty much bang on.

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Couple more bars to go in tomorrow & cage will be done.

[matt campling @mattcampling]

More work on the cage, just the dash & roof bars left to do, reinforced the hardtop as it's thin around the main hoop area, should look OK when painted & perspex on top.

Been at Fast Eddys Performance Car Services today helping prototype & produce Citroën c2 half cages that bolt to the standard mounting points ideal for track days. under 30min to unbolt back seats & fit the cage. it's been an interesting & fun day, nice view too, I love a supra!

[matt campling @mattcampling]

So much easier welding the cage out of the car, pretty happy with the result so far. My welder is so much better with a non broken rectifier 😁

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Rear impact, rad mount done, just need to add a jack point

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Pretty pleased with that

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Big thank you to Fast Eddy's for his super quick tube bending service, i can now make a proper start on my rollcage, also bent the main hoop for a friends s15 while we were there.

Gearbox mount made today, not the prittiest looking work I've done, bit agricultural looking at best. But under the car simple is best. Engine is level & square so I'm happy #uglyslug https://t.co/TJz1kI27J2

Pmc kit test fitted with 530d box, impressed with the quality of this kit so far

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Collected the chassis bolts from being dipped & re-coated is say that's £30 well spent. Interior & engine bolts next

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Little more progress, engine mounts made still need some gussets & smaller diameter rubber mounts for steering column clearance

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Pretty happy with the mounting position, now to make the mounts

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Front wheels now fitted with westlakes tested a tyre pen on the back the question is should I do the front not?

[matt campling @mattcampling]

S13 subframe conversion is taking shape, going to be running a gtr diff & shafts on this one so hopefully no chance of breakages https://t.co/IdiKJkyzc2

[matt campling @mattcampling]

Coming along nicely test fit the engine tomorrow see what kinds of problems I've caused myself 😁
