What i mean is the corners all look like they are made from blutac and the bars are all wonky

I cant get a grinder into the corners to shape them... need a good dremmel, but the bars taper into the centre, theres no avoiding that

Dremel can be a bit of an arse sometimes. If you are goung to spend money get some decent files

Looks good. I think you need to ask a fabricator to replicate that grill properly

The spacing between the bars looks all over the place? Maybe it's just because it's dirty and patchy

Its partly because it tapers out and also narrows in the centre
They arent parralel but the gaps are even/tapered at top
The fact its patchy and half dressed help though

I did a bit of research and it looks to be so

So i took some measurements and have sent them over.... crude drawing for him to check
![](http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb271/corsabadboy/62772F10-2293-46FF-911A-8C487507E9B9.jpg)
I only want a rear cage, which are like £500... id make my own but the rear hoops are tricky when you dont have a proper pipe bender
Thinking i can extend the missing leg easy enough
Then cut top pipe brackets away, clean up and add shell tags and a harness bar, maybe diagonals too ![](/board/images/smile/smile.gif)

Rear cage is pointless may as well make something out of plastic piping from b&q
