"Send nudes..." "ok, here they are"

- Will need abit of cleaning up later, take note of the stickers on the glass, its how the glass was held on for about a week.
- The 'cage guy' playfully joked at the fact that this was my first 'race car build' considering the amateur cage prep, I was proud of the effort nonetheless :)
- In the bottom of the photo you will see the sliders for the bucket seat that were left so that mounting brackets could be created. Unlike with OEM seats you have to consider rollers, side mounts and a mounting system when installing a bucket seat.
- My dad and the cage guy having a classic 'generational' discussion. Apparently the guy has been building cages since he was a teenager.
- Not removed: -sound deadening (use heat gun and scrape it off, or use dry ice) -heater matrix (in this case wasn't necessary to remove it) -wires (didn't want to mess something up irreversibly)
- Sadly the lighting was horrific and I had to rush to get a few photos in before we left.
- As mentioned before, the stickers that you see on the glass were the only things holding the rear glass on after we had 'cut it out'...
- ... To 'cut' the glass out, remove the weatherstripping (trying not to crack the glass as I did) and then using a long guitar guitar string or some metal wire wrapped round 2 big bolts, grab a friend and use wire as a metal saw.
- The reason for the engine bay shot is that the cage actually extends up to the shock towers, so the fuse box and other parts that get in the way on either side will have to be relocated. I also wanted a before and after shot.

The look of the car as I left it at the cage-builder's workshop. Most likely the cage has been put in by now. The results will be unveiled in 2 weeks
