First Step

I laid the bits out. I want it to be a two seater, but the passenger might burn their arse on the exhaust manifold.
Used up all my tube again on the rear loop and lower suspension mounts.

im likeing this alot

[Molehusband]

Thanks Adam.

I have hit a problem though. I was going to take off the struts and wishbones, & fit them to the frame first, but I have miss-judged the length of the rear frame.

Its not a complete scrap job, but I am going to upset my timetable by getting the engine and gearbox out of the car first, and drop it into the cage.

I'm no build expert and believe me I have made some real f**k ups in my time but why not get the motor out and in position and build the cage around it?

[Molehusband]

That's what I am going to do. I have been taking bits off the front of the car today. Once the wiring loom is out of the wings, I am going to attack them with Mr Disc Cutter and wheel the lump out on a trolly.

[Molehusband]

Dunno what happened here.

[Molehusband]

Not done a lot. Mostly fully welded some joints, so I will post photo's of the frame when I can afford more metal.

I was taking the engine out, but in their wisdom, Nissan have fitted anti-tamper torx screws to various bits, so I am waiting for a set off Am*zon as well.
