Looks good I need to take it all out to dry it out. Changed a fuse today in the box on the drivers side and water came out of the fuse hole

Ha ha!! Oh dear. She's a wet prawn.

Just rip it all out mate. Check all the drain holes are clear and leave it at that.

GT3 RS door pulls must knock off 10s a lap at Bedford

Easily. And the elbow space allows for superior drift legend status.

Oh. The prawn!

@BCF what roll bar do you have in your ****ter?

GC Fabrications.

They're all of a muchness really, not fixed to anything very substantial, so a 6 point is better if you can get one, at least then it reaches the floor. That said I think you'd do very well to roll one unless something odd happened!

@Archibald Meatpants gc fabs was my first choice. but ive also seen a cusco that goes to the floor besides the seats. second hand prices seem almost as much a buying new.

It wasn’t a recommendation, just what Barny’s got. I’ve thankfully never been in Barny’s ****ter with him on top. 

FWIW back in the day I had a TR Lane on mine, but no one mentions them anymore.

Bit of half inch gas pipe and some 1/8" plate? :d Worked well for me.

i was looking at going full cage but that takes away from my budget track car.

A full cage-worth if material cost me £35 (plus a bit of gas and some welding wire obviously)... ;)
