And I have a fcuking bad arse mother fcuker cage

Left at 3am yesterday morning to get to York, got there in 4 hours and did not touch the brakes once from Reading until I got to the A64 in York.

Got there at 7am and waited around in some northern town called Stamford Bridge where nobody talks English, then rang Lee from Fusion at 8am and met him down the road at his lockup.

Took him until 3pm to build the cage by fcuk me this man done pretty much most of it by guess work to start with and the work is near on amazing, welds are fantastic and I love the fact I have a removable X-diagonal.

Excellent bloke as well is Lee, ex-army engineer, we talked war for quite a bit in between jobs, he even gave me some polished door plate thingys that I will be fitting tomorrow.

Got back last night abour 8pm had to see my mate off as hes back to Iraq today then straight to bed at 10pm, knackered got a shiny bum from sitting down so long but worth every penny.

Then again this morning I was up early to load the car up with my glass and dropped off at bodyshop, will be ready tonight.

Cars gonna look the don, plus its lowered the rear down a bit at the back and its deffo a lot stiffer at the back now, does'nt seem to lean as much.

Yes, it looks exactly the same as what Brett Warbutton has in his Nova, only 1 inch less thickness and I can remove the diagonal X section.

You won't get a special gold sticker with yours though, unfortuantly Brads was the first Corsa that was done so he got the sticker like me "Another Special by Fusion" you will just get a Fusion sticker.

When you see it you will want it.

Plus the roll cage will be more practical when you are living Mad MAx style after saturday. Then you will see it was clearly money well spent.
