Just had some photos through from Tom at Parkin race developments of cage progress.

Now comes the fun task of painting it whilst it’s in the car….

This might be a silly think to point out but please tell me they’re going back to finish those welds?

No such thing as a silly question. Yes. It’s just tacked together for now.

Good stuff, what threw me was you talking about painting it and I was like, errrrrr…

Cage is fully welded and finished.



Got it primed as well today. Not died from fumes but may have shortened my life by a year or two but it’s reyt.

Have you decided on a colour?

It’s going glacier white

It is indeed. There provisions to add to the cage if I want to make it full.

Clio cage and interior is pretty much done.

Is it perfect? The cage is fine but painting wise I’ll be honest no it’s not. Am I happy with it? Not 100% but it can be worked back to something I can be semi happy with.

Plan is to tidy it up for now and get some trackdays do as is then get a body shop to do to give it a once over.

In hindsight I wish I just got an off the shelf cage that I didn’t have muck about painting.

Harnesses will be going in this weekend too providing my old foe K-Tec can actually deliver in the lead time they quoted. If not I’ll be borrowing off a friend.
