Yes, everything still runs fine, I drove it back from the accident. All I can say is It's bloody fast! :shocked:

Gutted this happened after all the waiting and work that went into it, though often when this happens it will emerge even better than before as you now have a blank canvas so to speak. This is going to be one hell of a car gutted I missed my chance to see it first time round so hope I get to see its rebirth for a cage ideas check out teg boys ek9 that has a FIA approved weld in cage I believe I love the cages with the built in harness bars so Id definatly say do it. Though my vote still goes for the OEM ek9 dash and clocks cant beat that analogue gauge with 10k rpm written on it :D
 
Yeah, keeping the standard dash and clocks, for the time being.. Here's the cage which will get fitted into the ek9, also some demo pictures of an ek4 showing what It should look like, when completed - I'm having it sprayed white too. :nice:

Wooo, Just quickly checked my E-mail and the Cage is Installed + Sprayed!! Wow, looks AMAZINGGGGG! :bow: Will post pics when I finish work @ 7pm :D:D
 
Some pictures as promised! :drool:. Suspension is due to be re-fit this week and engine start of next week. :naughty:

Warning, lots of pics!
Just re-sized them all to a smaller size, as they all were like 3mb each!

nice one on the possible Banzia feature! :)
 
nice build! shame about the one that got binned but looks like it just pushed it to the next level ;)
 
looking good mate,

umm where did you get the engine built?

as i might have some work for them to do very soon :secret:
 
That cage it amazing I love the cages with harness bars built in thats definatly going to be one stiff chassis. I see the carpet got a good cleaning how much of the original interior is going back in or is it just the dash and two seats?
 
Yeah, have 2 takata's waiting to get put in. :drool:

With regards to interior, carpet, dash, seats, dash - Maybe door cards, not alot though. :)
 
Doorcards ??? Just 2 sheets of carbon i reckon :p

As said mate absolutely awesome, Great work and that cage is a work of art!

Keep it up cant wait to see more on this :D
