Hi,
Looks like you've been busy.
How many rolls of mig wire have you used?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Hi Gavin, in total I have used about half of a 15kg reel, but I have replaced every panel on the car from the bottom of the windscreen. In hindsight it would have been easier and cheeper to buy a new shell but I had already started so may as well finish! Also it is much stronger than a standard shell as everything is stitch welded now.

Looking good, thats gonna be one rigid shell!!

Im guessing your building it as a track car?

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Im hoping its gonna be pretty rigid. I decided to stitch it rather than seem weld it as I read that a continuous seam can crack fairly easily. As for its use, not really sure yet, probably some track days, hillclimbs and a bit of tarmac terrorism!

nice mate.

did you make the cage yourself?

is see the tube was from Hub Le Bas, we use them to supply steel at work and it always make me laugh when i see the name!

The main hoop and front legs were ordered from fabricage but all the rest I just did myself. The tube was from berkley and mattheson in nottingham but I know they sourced it from somewhere else cos I was waiting for ages for it!
