Good idea with a brute of a hole saw

Hole saw is perfect size too, but could do with being 30mm long and I wouldn't have had to switch sides

Got in touch with a bloke that can do me a roll cage, 8.50 spec made from chrome moly 1500

iv to just contact when I'm ready for it and he will fit it in between the big chassis he builds with about a week turn around

Nah don't think so but I can do that anyway, that includes fitting a window net if I provide one and opening door bar if it needs it to help get in/out the car depending on if I'd rather enter through the open roof of not

They're perfectly legal for an 8.50 spec but I'm not keen on it either, they have quick release mechanisms on them I think, will have a quick look

I have been messaging BC racing about there ZR series suspension, need to know if they're going to be short enough with how hight the car has ended up sitting but only way to know if they're going to work is to buy some and fit them

Mx5 subframe back in, along with the steering. That's that headache out of the way and all of the suspension bushes are now done

Took the driver side spring out so the car sits flat and not leaning any more.

I don't know if it's just me but putting the susoension/shocks back in is an absolute ball ache

Normally just release the upper arm from the chassis side and slide them past
