Here are a few updates with this project.
Decided to rip the old roll bars out and go with a FIA spec full multi point rollcage.
Remember kids weight is the enemy!... So while doing the cage, going to strip out everything that is not needed out of the car, this includes uneccessary wires too. Every ounce will be removed, only the bare minimums will be kept as I still have an ambitious road trip of driving this car to Florida and California which will total more than 6-7000 miles. Yes the car still has number plates on it and will be somewhat road legal.
Enough reading/typing/talking (what ever you'd like to call this).
I bought a very very powerful vacuum and did this to the interior of the car!
I decided to build a birds nest while adding a "cage"...
Setting fire to the car (notice the smoke pouring out of the rear wheel wells)... The inner fender liners did catch a bit of fire, its okay, a few ounces saved by the burning/melted rubber.
Rear section almost finished.
Front drivers side almost done, missing one bar in there still. The X bar for the door is actually bent towards the outside at the X for added safety incase of a side intrusion. You can tell a little by looking at the windshield bar, from this angle it looks not to be straight, but it is actually straight when you look at it from the side.
This is it for now, I'll keep updating the thread this week on how to ruin a perfectly driving car.
Oh and we'll find out if it will actually start after messing around with the wiring. :laugh:
