Dash panel is gone, no turning back now

Picked up the car tonight, majority of the cage is bent up, I'll bend up the intrusion bars and seat mounts once the cage is fitted and I am able to work them out properly, I have another 3 7.3m lengths of tube at the workshop, the car weighs 575kg as is minus the parts of the cage sitting in it, the cage material sitting in it weigh 25.5kg. Gotta wait now infill my brother is free to help me with the fitment, he has fantastic tig welding skill unlike me

I feel a small bit of hatred for you, I want it, so jelous haha

So close to not wanting to sell it, it's a great trailer, I love it but I can't afford to have 2 trailers and don't have the space anyway

Looks awesome

Dropping the car off to get the cage bent up tonight

Well before you close the thread I'd just like to say well done on such a great build and thank you for sharing it with us

My wheels turned up but there was a mix up with the offset and they sit out too wide so they have all been sold already and I'll organize the cage shortly

All finished and stickered up now?

Yeh mine are brass joints with oil ports

Thanks mate, I get mine from shepp city bearings, you should be able to get them at most bearing shops

I'd rather sell all of them mate, you could put a whole set on yours with a spare 👍👌

I've also got these for sale if anyone's interested, 15"x5.5" 4x114.3 TRX bluebird wheels, repainted them on Tuesday, no buckles or dints, very minimal gutter rash, billet alloy centre caps (I didn't want datsun caps on my rolla so I made these lol) $300ono located in shepparton Vic

It's amazing how things come to a holt when your broke, was ready to take the car around and have the cage bent up... Then I found these wheels.... So I've got 6 rims heading my way and the cage will have to wait a little longer

Finally got something done, I now have proper engine mounts, I will start on making the proper gearbox mount this week, I got a quote on the cage getting bent up for me and the supply of the material, now I've just gotta save my penny's, hopefully I can get that done in the next month as long as I don't get anymore bills in the mail, once the cage is bent my brother and I will find a free weekend to notch and weld it, fully tig welded, then it's onto steering column, dash and pedal box manufacturing

Haha I've got a road bike for the occasional ride in the hills, plenty of camping gear, I'm glad I'm not wasting money on the other stuff but I wouldn't mind picking up a girlfriend haha

Yeh I was thinking today I'm set for a bit, finish the red 30 in a year or so, then build the white 30 rally car, about a 6 month build then 6 months to restore the coupe haha and try do do all that while saving for a house

Bought myself a coupe tonight, I'll restore it for a Sunday driver

Thanks mate, I was starting to think no ones reading it anymore, I'll keep it going till the end, everyone loves the shed, it's dad's business, about 3 years and I'll build my own house and shed, I'm 20 years old so still at home

Whys there a cone in the air? Haha looks awesome, bet it sounds even better

How'd the car go Craig? Any action shots?

Gave the cars a good wash today, aligned the 30 front and rear, about a year ago I put the car on the rotisserie, to finally get it out in the sun, steer it around on it's own wheels and get it on the hoist is an awesome feeling, now I've gotta decide what part to do next

The rolla has working steering and suspension all around now, very pleased with myself, pushed it into the yard on it's own wheels for the first time in a year and a half, and I couldn't help but take a family photo haha

You all good to go this weekend? If so good luck
