What are the cusco drag rods? Excuse my ingornace...

[Luke_ENR34]

Instead of having a hicas lock bar, the blue brackets bolt onto where the hicas is and forms a tie rod off there. Looks more pretty then a lock bar

Learn something new everyday thanks mate.

I need to get the camera down to the workshop and take some more pics. Basically the whole cabin has been seam welded and the fuel cell is all complete

Just gotta get it rolling now and ready for the cage next month.

Luke

looks like its gonna be the goods mate

[Luke_ENR34]

Couple more pics of all the seam welding done inside the cabin and fuel cell all setup.

[NA_Goodness]

Fair bit of work going into this mate, I love it! What are you going in reguards to the rear seat area? Or are you just going to leave it as is?

I like the fuel cell idea, but cant see how you could do that and remain legal, which means I couldnt try it on my car.

[Luke_ENR34]

Rear seat is getting a piece of sheet metal welded in. Basically a piece with a 90o bend in it.

Waiting for the cage to be finished first then get that piece done.

[bigmikespec]

Who is doing the spot welding of the chassis?

[Luke_ENR34]

Got a mate called Ross doing it. Use to work for pacemaker headers, but now makes outdoor furniture.

Very happy with his work.
