Maybe we'll get a discount for 10 :)

Don't think there is a minimum order on these, Harry Hockley's listing them at £209.25 ea, and no mention of minimum order of 10

If you need an order of 10 I'll have one.

aye the bay is going to be seam welded & the cage will be bolted & welded in too, aswell as the seat mounts

just need to figure out how to sort out the b-pillars as the drivers side is cracked & the passenger is just starting to go, but can't really get to the inderside from inside the car so welding some sort of plate is going to be impossible :(

Good good, keeping it red? Id highly recommend seam welding it and even if you get a bolt in cage, weld the fittings in for extra strength. Also a strengthening plate kit from Harry Hockly would be sensible.

Nice perk I think if your not having heaters.

Paul is your car going to be a competition/track car? Stripped out?

If its stripped out then the car itself will heat up so you dont really need heaters inside. Would be a pain if you had nothing for the windows though, as remember windows steam up in fog/rain sometimes and you'd be fucked if you had nothing.

Is that the project on your avatar? Any development pics or what your planning to do?


aye thats the one in the avatar, slowly stripping it all down to the shell ready to start work, is hopefully gona be competition spec, but still road legal

only pics atm are ones in the garage, just on stripping it out now & all, but there a few days old now, all the panels inside, seatbelts, etc, have all gone, just half of the dash left now which wont take long to strip out between work.

Lookin at droppin a 2ltr lump on throttlebodies, hopefully around 200-220bhp, LSD, roll-cage, 2 buckets, and a few dials, nothing more than I need!

Heated windscreens have tiny elements running in vertical lines up the screen in a zig-zag pattern.

Well, Mk2 Escort and Impreza ones are like that.
