do something with that roll cage before toys.

those rear mounts look useless - as do the ones by the bulkhead. its only as strong as the weakest link which in both cases are the bolts/brackets holding the brackets to the rear xmember/holding the rock sliders on at the bulkhead.

 

[chrisyleigh]

Everythings welded at the rear , the rest is bolted with extra supports on the outriggers but yes im going to add more mounts ect

 

[chrisyleigh]

Now for sale
pm for more details

 

[trax]

why? did you roll it?

 

[chrisyleigh]

Haha nope never rolled , and want to go back to dare i say it "jap cars"

 

[duane0001]

Why are you selling it after all the hard work?

 

[chrisyleigh]

its just my bad habit, past 4 cars ive had spent thousands on them and then get bored and want something new.
disco spent about 2 on that
car before "gsi" spent about 8k on that
pulsar before that spent about 5 on it

oh and then add motorbikes on that spend a few bob there aswell
always end up loosing loads on each car aswell

Funnily enough woke up one morning and it was now a 2car drive

 

[chrisyleigh]

Quite abit has changed since them 2 photos I'll try and get around to uploading them all but rx8 seats like the old 110 was first on the list with pivoting passenger seat

 

[chrisyleigh]

First off was electrics for the seats / mid console and planning for the future

 

[chrisyleigh]

Also included an extra battery and split charge , also with a mud stuff console I added a chinese diesel heater definitely the best buy out off everything I've done made the mistake of ordering a 5kw instead of a 2kw , which is too big for the mud stuff so had to slightly adjust the mud stuff by cutting a massive hole in the top and raising the cubby box :/

 

[chrisyleigh]

Got rid off the old bodged roof rack , added some new light surrounds then the first day out within 10mins the steering arm wanted to be a banana, let's just say it took a good few hours and bodging to get it down the hill it was ontop off , problem was every time it bent the straightened it when a foot forward and it bent again but worse like 5time over

 

[chrisyleigh]

The bodge

 

[chrisyleigh]

Added a old warn w8000 winch to go with dixons winch bumper and rocksliders , and a set of shiny black -32 modular wheels

 

[chrisyleigh]

All I've got time for atm see if I can get onto the story off the holely roof :/

 

[chrisyleigh]

So little bit of background with this roof it's been drilled more times than katie price there was holes everywhere think there was about 16 in total , the alpine windows was flooding in everytime it rained the previous owners answer was duck tape :/ so let's try and upload some pics without it crashing only let's me upload 4/5 a time
