what type of racing are you planning to do?!?!?!?!

jOeHaCk98 · 04-25-2005, 10:06 PM

daily driver, fun.

anthony240 · 04-25-2005, 10:19 PM

is the cage built to spec? like FIA/SCCA/NASA, etc?
and what did you use to get rid of the sealant on those body parts that you had welded?

BoroBoroS13 · 04-25-2005, 11:07 PM

Looks like a good start thus far. Good luck with the project

Drunk Bastard · 04-25-2005, 11:51 PM

I was just going to say good luck trying to get the seats in after looking at the pictures, but I guess you took care of that! I hope you don't tear up your knee when you track the car because that looks really tight in there.

that180guy · 04-26-2005, 01:29 AM

good luck getting out really fast wen u needa piss

other then that...im jealous

sepulchral · 04-26-2005, 06:09 AM

that cage is huge, i bet it weighs alot too

Nameless RB26 · 04-26-2005, 07:09 AM

Well done!

I would love to seam weld mine.. that is a lot of work and dedication.

its not built to spec. cause i dont belive i can run in any class. my car is out of spec.
and i used a wire wheel to get that stuff off.

and the type of racing is more Free runs at the track or some drifting/drag racing. anything i can do really. its my fun car

sepulchral · 04-26-2005, 07:28 PM

sepulchral · 04-26-2005, 07:30 PM

jk thats sweet man

Ian · 04-26-2005, 08:26 PM

are you gonna weld plates between the pipe and a pillar?

projectRDM · 04-26-2005, 09:42 PM

Please wear a helmet. We don't need to see pics of your head crushed from slapping it against the cage in an accident.

dude, dont use a cheap welder to seam weld your car, you'll burn through all your sheet metal and then have nothing to seam weld left.

khoadogg · 04-27-2005, 04:36 PM
