Hi Nick

Some nice looking cars you've worked on there smile I'm not too far down the road from you either if you need to have a poke around mine to get some idea's for your 20vt.

might take you up on that mate, would like to have a spin in a coupe with some decent power!

i spent 2 hours this eve stripping the interior of the car. literally got everything out bar the dash.

will start fabricating cage mounts and seat rails soon, as and when i have time. got the horrid job of removing the sound deadening at some point. always a nightmare!

shall i start a project thread? couldnt see how to do it?

cheers
nick

Nick, I've given you permission for the project area. Drop me a PM and I'll tell you what to do and possibly arrange for me to pop down and see you

Nick if you give the sound deadening a tap with a heavy masonary chisel ( no hammer)it just shatters off. Try to get the floor to resonate like a drum.
Odd akward bit but not to bad a job really.

i have done it many times before, some stuff comes off in chunks like you say when hit with a hammer, also helps if its very cold.

other stuff is a nightmare and very strong/soft and has to be heated and removed with a scraper, which always leaves a residue which can be a nightmare to clean off afterwards.

If you change the design of any type of homologated cage then its homologation will be void. And more importantly without professional advice on fittings the cage will likely not be safe in a crash.

I run a motorsport fabrication company specialising in custom rollcages. If u want some advice mail me info@nicksonmotorsport.co.uk

I am likely to be making a cage for my 20vt soon as I am turning into track car. I will post pics up of the process on this forum. For anyone interested in buying a cage I could fabricate more than one.

Have a look at my website www.nicksonmotorsport.co.uk

hope me posting this is ok with mods. Im happy to do a group buy through forum if required. I am a 20vt owner and not just looking to sell. I just thought I would offer professional advice on cage fitting etc as its my buisness.

Nick

Any news Nick? Will you make a roll cage for the Coupé?
