Roll cage almost ready

Work progressed quite nicely this weekend, despite some subaru parts buyers bothering us. Only two tubes of the roll cage need still to be done, plus the shoulder belt mountings of the middle seats.

The upper left point of the main rollbar. There is still one tube missing, so this should be a quite stiff spot.

Here's a picture of what we had to do to install the roof diagonals. One corner had to be hammered out so you could get it more easily into place. Before welding the corner is hammered back in.

Mika brought the corolla in for some maintenance. So don't worry, the car on right isn't our next race car project.

A closer shot of the tubes in the slide door opening. We ended making a low cross structure. If it would have been made any higher, it would have made entrance even more difficult.

We also got the engine parts painted, and we just heard that the flanges for the exhaust manifold are ready. The springrates have also been calculated, so next week we should order new shocks and springs.
