The paint work will be sorted, and the underside will be rust treated before next Winter.
But not painted like on JNE, I'm not doing all that again
I'm closing in on some polycarbonate for the windows atm as well.

Re: My RS1800, OMP cage, race battery.
Yeah & I bet when you had all them wheels with the previous rs1800 you said "I don't really need anymore wheels"
Heck, you could put it next to my runabout & then try & tell people you don't lavish it with premium cleaning products - I saw you buffing up the strut tops

Re: My RS1800, OMP cage, race battery.
P4P were the lot i used first time for polycarb windows, the order took ages but eventually turned up, second time around they never delivered so after numerpus failed promises I ended up cancelling and ordered mine from Raceplastics IIRC, they were cheaper as well.

I'm cutting my own out Paul, cheaper still
Small update, car is up in the air.........again
My annoying "clunk" noise has been diagnosed as 2 broken engine mounts
Ordering them up Monday, just genuine Ford atm, as its only standard power.
Unless somebody has a pair of cheap uprated ones they don't want
Welding is half done just drivers floor to sort on Monday.
Then floor plates for cage will be welded in place, cage now being painted anthracite to match wheels which are being done as well next week.
Pictures tomorrow, of progress

what thickness are you using?
I've found a site which supplies polycarbonate in sheets, how much have you ordered? Might do some calcs to see if its cheaper to DIY

Its not now, its in my garage
The bloke even helped me cut it up to get it in the back of my van
Spent the morning lightening the car,
front bumper had as much as I dare taken out the back without it falling in half
Front panel has had some erm.....surgery
a fair bit more was cut out after this picture
I then painted the bare metal and re-fitted bumper and headlights
Welding of the floor has now been finished,
cage floor plates will be welded in on Monday, and door bars welded in place,
then the whole lot comes out again for painting.

Re: My RS1800, OMP cage, race battery.
you taken the spare wheel and tray out yet? if so lob the brackets that they clip into off also and lose the hook, bit more weight saved there.
im guessing the back panel is going to be getting the hole cutting treatment too soon

Well I tried to keep the strength in it. I asked an MOT tester before starting,
would of hated to have to weld all those back in if it would of failed its next MOT
Rear panel will be treated to the same, and inner door skins, also hatch until a lightweight one is fitted
So with the polycarb/ interior paint being done next weekend,
I will be all set for the carbon roof

Re: My RS1800, OMP cage, race battery.
I cut the middle out after the pictures were taken
didn't want to give it all away what I did
Also cut various "triangles" out of the front panel as well, should be a few more kgs gone
I'm also going to dump the washer bottle for one alot smaller,
plus lots of other plans to make me a "lightweight legend"
I do have a single wiper conversion but not sure about that atm.
