It's not that bad really! The black stuff is where the previous owner has covered where the powder coat had come off.
It's off to be blasted on Monday :-)

Picked it up form the blasters today.
It's now at (Endaf) Owens Fabrications for some chassis mods, side impact bar and to redo some of the original welding!
 
Stripped

Chassis mods almost finished! Lots of cage enhancements, engine mounts done, new pedal box and exhaust sorted. Some more strengthening to go in at
the front and some of the original welds to be redone.

It's on my list of things to do Rich- it'll go back to Endaf's once I've thrown it back together for final brackets, fuel tank
etc so we'll do the prop catcher then. I think the gearbox is further back than it was originally!

If you accodently make an extra set of prop catchers while your at it ill take them off of your hands!?!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I'm looking forward to seeing it powder coated Tim. He's made a template for the fuel tank and welded the mounting lugs to the chassis so
that should be easy enough to sort out. Hopefully we managed to get the rest of the welding sorted!
I'm probably going to get the ali panels powder coated too. The sides are new but the floor and internal panels should clean up ok hopefully
before coating.

What colour powdercoat are you going with.
Just looking again at your cage - it looks serious! You're obviously planning to roll it!

Black powder coat - plain and simple!
And yes there's a lot of effort gone into the cage but I'm not planning on testing it!!

Powder coated :-)
Now time to rebuild it !! I've just realised I've not powder coated the floor panels yet so need to get those sorted before doing anything
else really.

Some progress.
Floor panels ready to go on but my Sikaflex on the shelf was rock hard! I decided to panel the bottom of the tunnel too - these panels aren't
powder coated but they can't be seen anyway.
The gap in the paneling is for access to the gearbox mounting bolts. I may try and find a way to cover this area.

I've been on holidays, busy working, building decking at home and lots of other stuff.
October won't happen unfortunately so I'm going to plan to get it well sorted over the winter.....
