Sounds good

[1275 SPRITE]

Nothing really done today, I worked untill lunch time then drove to mansfield to pick up a roll cage
Its nothing special, just a cheapy really, more for looks than anything. I'll get a couple of pics tomorrow. I've just slotted it all in place to see what it was like, but it will have to be removed again to rub it down and repaint

ok lol, as long as you bring it back painted

[1275 SPRITE]

Did a little bit this morning, Removed the cage again and started to strip the paint back off it. Used Nitromors and the bits I did came off quite easily
Sanded down the front bar that joins the two sides together and gave it a quick coat of primer to see what the finish would be like, looks alright
Also drove over to Coventry to pick up a fibreglass bonnet (thanks cookie4343)
Thought about a fibreglass one for a while so it would be nice and easy to cut out some holes to get some good airflow through the intercooler

I'll go and take some pics now!

[1275 SPRITE]

Here is a few pics of the cage.
I started to strip it down as you can see.






Started to add primer








The new bonnet





This is how I want it




Jacked up at the back a bit to allow for better cooling

[1275 SPRITE]

As you can see in the last pic of the cage I ran out of primer half way through

you'd better give me your cage for a while, then I can pretend to let you have it,
and no one will be the wiser . spray it red first so it goes with Ratty !!!!!!
