These pics are taken as the car came to us. So far we have stripped out the dash, started blasting out the sound deadening and prepped the rest of the interior to accept the baseplates and to get measurements for the tubing. The material for the rollcage ought to be delivered some time early this coming week and then we can get banging away at it.

[SlowerThanYou]

Sounds like a plan too me :) Lookin good. Just remember do what you pretty much want with it put keep it within spec and the round about quote. And you can ditch the door panels if you need too in order too make the cage fit. Also everything under the dash can come out if you wanna take it out.. just need the basics lol no ac or heater lol.. thanks man I cant wait!!!

[4wheeldriftS13]

Ranlet is on the job, he will make a cage to BAD ASS spec.

Mike, Im going to bring a stock S13 seat to replace my corbeau seat. :)
Cant wait to see what happens when your big bad parts list comes in.
Let me know if you want to get rid of that buddy club exhaust :) lol

[SlowerThanYou]

[diSpicable]

[SlowerThanYou]

hahaha lol I wish i knew :( its probably just sittin there.. I just hope its going too make it by the deadline lol... had it for a month and a half now lol

[mranlet]

Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been SLAMMED with work.

Just about all of the sound deadening has been stripped, Taylor is pulling the harness to do his magic, I've been bending tubing. The rear baseplates are in and the main hoop is about to be tacked in place.

I'll post up pics shortly (forgot to bring my camera in today, sorry).

[mranlet]

Sorry for taking forever to upload these pics. I've just been busy working rather than posting on the internet ;)

There are going to be a few more bars and some cleaning up, but this gives a good idea of how the fitment and design is going to be:

[SlowerThanYou]

[mranlet]

I'm glad you're liking it. We have your gauges and seat reails, but the seats themselves are due to be here early in this coming week. The body harness has been pulled and I believe that Taylor is working on knocking it out after work at home.

BTW, what color do you plan on doing on the exterior?

[SlowerThanYou]

sounds really good to me.. as far as color goes im thinking either a light silver or stock color I dunno yet.. im open for sugestions lol oh by the way ill be flying home on the 7th will make it there on the 9th and will be personally picking up the car on that date :)

[diSpicable]

[SlowerThanYou]

thanks tony.. hey can ya drop by the shop and pay the rest of it off that you have in your account tony or can you meet up with me on the 9th and we'll go up too s&r together.. I dunno just gotta figure something out.. Im driving my body kit down with me from ga as soon as I fly in.. and then the car will be going to paint and ill drive my other car up too ga.. and when the 240 is done with paint ill fly too tampa and pick up the car then lol....

[schargd]

[SlowerThanYou]
